Divorce

Attny Angela Whitaker is a great lawyer. She took my case after another lawyer had to dropout. She is very knowledgeable and jumped right in the middle to get this done as quickly as possible. The payment plan helped a lot and I she was truly an angel from God. You couldn’t go wrong with using this a...ll female team who doesn’t judge.

Awesome Attorney

Angela Whitaker is a very knowledgeable and a highly professional lawyer who cares. She has assisted me with various issues that I have had from the death of a loved one to several business matters. She is very thorough and extremely smart. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs a l...awyer.

Mrs. Whitaker is a good lawyer

She has been a good lawyer throughout my divorce, when I googled divorce lawyers, I left my contact and she called me on a Sunday which says alot to me. We met and she accepted a small down payment to start my case. Throughout the year I made weekly payments, which helped me alot. My case was kinda p...articular due to a bankruptcy as well. She involved other attorneys to see the case through in matters she was not as knowledgeable. After a year my case finally came to close and with the help of Mrs. Whitaker and her team I made out good. She also was there to help me through a situation with her kind and encouraging words. Again thank you, I hope this helps Mrs. Whitaker and the person reviewing.

Very skilled attorney and ALJ

I have known Angela since 2001. She has always been a very knowledgeable and effective attorney. We have collaborated on many cases through the years in unemployment hearings. She does not waste time, but gets the correct results. She is highly respected and relied upon by many other attorneys, i...ncluding myself.
