She knows what she’s doing !

Angela has been the real deal! Not only was I able to enter into a payment plan I knew I could afford . She has gone above and beyond for me in my Custody case ! She has answered every call and text even the ones outside of business hours! I can’t recommend her enough.

Estate questions

Consulted Atty Whitaker regarding an estate issue after my mother passed. She was very caring and swift in directing me to the proper solution. I was very pleased with how she handled my situation. I would definitely use her services again if needed.

The best lawyer

I had the best experience with Angela! I had an affordable payment arrangement during a hard transition. My divorce was very difficult and thanks to Angela and her team, I was able to afford a lawyer for my case. My divorce was handled efficiently. I 100% recommend her as a lawyer.

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.

Simply: She's Tough & Knows Her Stuff!

I hired her multiple times. Probate matter most recently. My opponents hired "sharks." I overheard one of their attorneys underestimating Mrs. Whitaker in the hallway. My opponents laughed in agreement---they aren't laughing anymore! Not only did Angela get me my rightful share, her fees were $14,00...0 less than what my opponents paid their lawyers. And even sweeter was the fact that I was stress-free, paying Angela on a payment plan. On some days, my opponents couldn't reach the lawyers that they were so proud to hire. While I have never had trouble reaching Mrs. Whitaker. She gave me her personal cell phone and made it clear to me that I was welcome to call her and that I can ask her any question whenever I need. I can't see myself hiring anyone but her at this point.
