Wonderful Lawyer

I had the pleasure of hiring Angela Whitaker , and she help me settle my case. She was very nice but stern. I contacted her for a consultation, her phone went to voicemail, but she text me letting me know she was in a meeting and would get back to me. Well she call me right back, very fast.Sh...e's very good at her work and I would refer her to anyone needing a good attorney.

Organized, supportive and knowledgable!

Attorney Angela was very knowledgable. She explained how the whole hearing would go, what I needed to submit to the courts, and other parties. She was very organized and help me feel calm through the whole process.

Angela is the BEST

Angela is a highly skilled, knowledgeable, efficient professional that I highly recommend. Her prompt responses and expertise soothed my frazzled nerves. I don't know how I would have made it through my hearing without her!

So glad I had her!

Angela helped me when I thought I didn't have any other options. She walked me through the whole process and was always on her game. Her closing argument made my jaw drop out of sheer awe, and I'm pretty sure it made the other attorneys jaw drop also (most likely out of panic).

Very knowledgeable, professional yet personable

Takes time to inform client of what to expect during hearing. Always reachable for questions and consulting. So happy to have her representing me. Would definitely use her for the future.
