Superb, Outstanding, the BEST!

Angela was recently recommended to me as an advocate for my UIA Telephone hearing. It was very short notice, with little time to review my case and consult with me over the details. She was extremely helpful in explaining everything, as I had never been through a situation like this ever before! She ...helped me and guided me through every step of the was, and really took charge on the phone hearing. I could not have done this without her! Thank you Angela for your confidence and kindness! I highly recommend her!

Godsend

I reached out to Angela for an unemployment hearing regarding an issue that was very complicated and I was so extremely stressed and out of my element. Angela was calm, reassured me about the steps that I personally need to make in order for things to run smoothly, and she was very easy to follow alo...ng with. Made thing very easy to understand and took her time with my case. This horribly stressful situation was completely turned around by her. Would DEFINITELY recommend.

Amazing Unemployment Representation

Angela helped me with my case with unemployment and was very professional and prepared to help me with my hearing. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to get things done!

Very helpful

I called a different attorney of the advocacy list for UIA. When she thought she may have a conflict I was referred to Angela. There was very limited time. She was very straightforward and informative. Answered all my questions. She knew what she was talking about how to prepare me and I feel she... did an excellent job!

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.
