Attentive and Responsive

I contacted Angela to be my UIA advocate. She was immediately responsive, and explained exactly what was going to happen and what steps I needed to take. I was very relieved after speaking with her. She made me feel like I was in very good hands

Legal Beast

I had a protest for unemployment during the Pandemic and Angela took my case with hours before my phone hearing(thank you slow mail informing of my hearing the night before). I was grateful that she took it without hesitation. During the first hearing(it took 2) she was confident and assertive and di...d not hold back questioning and objecting to the other advocate's performance. She kept on point and kept the hearing on track. On the second hearing, she continued to perform outstandingly and unquestioningly drilled my case to the core of the issue. Don't look further, she has your back. God Bless You Angela.

Substitute Teacher

I consulted with Angela Whitaker re: a case for unemployment benefits. Angela thoroughly explained to the judge that I was not responsible for leaving my position. I would highly recommend Ms. Whitaker as a reputable attorney!!

Voluntary Quit I Did Not Commit

I consulted with Attorney Angela L. Whitaker-Payton regarding an alleged accusation that I quit my job. Attorney Angela was tenacious to provide me with clarity of my circumstances quickly eliminating All doubts. Attorney Angela’s representation as an advocate is very direct and she prepared me tho...roughly of the prehearing expectations. She makes YOU pay attention to the details, eliminate the static and empower yourself responsibly. The outcome…VICTORY. I highly recommend Attorney Angela L Whitaker-Payton and All is Well!

Unemployment hearing

Angela was very profession in representing me as an advocate in my unemployment hearing. During our prehearing discussions she explained the process and made sure I knew how to proceed. At the hearing she was very effective in her objections and making sure that the information in the case was pres...ented appropriately and fairly. Angela was very knowledgeable and confident in her representation of my case. I would highly recommend her.
