Review Marc Whitehead

Excellent. Professional. Caring.

Posted by

My attorney, Madison Donaldson, was extremely patient and helpful in getting me the best outcome for my case. She kept me updated throughout the process and promptly answered all of my questions. I am thankful I had Madison on my side. She is thorough, approachable and listens to her client's needs.

The best of the best! Absolute life saver!!

Posted by

My daughter and I worked directly with Anthony Vessell to apply for benefits on my daughters behalf. In the past, my daughters father and I worked directly with Marc Whitehead. All I can say is that they truly saved our lives. The actual caring about you and what the outcome will be, the knowledge, the ability to answer any question, to guide you through the entire process, to show empathy, and still be 100% professional. That is a little of what describes how wonderful both of these men are. I did not have any other options with my daughter who just turned 21. She had inherited the same disabilities that her father struggled with. After her father passed away, everything worsened with her. I thought I would have to work until I am 80 in order to take care of her and then what? Today, with Anthony's help, I found out that I would not have to totally support her for the rest of my life. There are no words to describe the relief / weight that has been lifted off of me. We are so so blessed. All I can say is a simple Thank You for being there to help those that need help and changing the lives of people in dire need. God Bless!!

Very kind company

So thankful we found them. At the beginning I was very emotional. They were kind and understanding and encouraged me through the steps. They answered all the crazy questions, listened to my thoughts and worries, and helped me through the rough spots. I’m so thankful for this team.

Disability Appeal

Marc Whitehead and Associates won my appeal after MetLife after they tried to deny my company disability policy benefits after 2 years. They were knowledgeable, friendly, responsive. I highly recommend them to anyone who is having disability insurance issues.

SSA Disability

Posted by

After waiting over a year just to get turned down for disability benefits.I am happy to say that I got my SSA Disabilty because of the great work done by Marc Whiteheads Law firm. I am very impressed with how everything was communicated and the professionalism of each person I dealt with. They totally prepared me to appear in front of the Judge with great confidence. I would definitely refer Marc Whiteheads team to other disabled Veterans/people that have been turned down for SSA disability........these guys are awsome and I would like to thank them

I am honored to speak on the behalf of Marc Whitehead and Associates. From the initial meeting, Jonathan Willingham has graciously and patiently provided excellent service and support throughout the process of appealing for my social security benefits and my LTD case. Jonathan is professional, compassionate and knowledgeable offering any support he could give to make the process a painless one. Thank you, Jonathan for all that you have done! I am eternally grateful! Thank you, Brittany for making me feel at ease during my hearing and for defending me. You are amazing! Mr. Whitehead, thank you for fighting for me! I will forever recommend your firm!

Mr. Whitehead was highly recommended by another attorney whom I trust. Mr. Whitehead’s office has gone above and beyond to make applying for disability a smooth process. Thank you, so much for all the appointments, calls and staying on track to get my disability approved the first time. I recommend his office to anyone trying to get disability. The best in Houston.

Excellent Law Firm For Social Security Disability

Posted by

I can't say enough about Marc Whitehead & Associates Attorney at Law , LLP. They were very professional and helpful throughout the entire process from beginning to end. I highly recommend them if you are in need of assistance in social security disability. Their staff member Shaundra H. guided us through the entire process, was very knowledgable, responsive and available if we had questions or concerns . She always returned phone calls and emails in a timely manner and was willing to give advice, direction, instruction and insight when needed. It has been said that disability claims are normally not approved on the first attempt. That was not our experience working with this firm. Our claim was approved in 4 months. We attribute this to the excellence of Marc Whitehead & Associates Attorney at Law, LLP.. We sincerely appreciate all of the help and assistance of Marc Whitehead and Associates. If you are looking for a firm to handle your social security and/or disability claim needs, look no further. Marc Whitehead & Associates will produce results for you. Save yourself some frustration and time with trying to navigate this Social Security and/or disability claim process on your own. Give Marc Whitehead & Associates a call.
