Fully Favorable

I highly recommend Attorney Britney McDonald she was extremely patient with me during my Social Security Disability Case which resulted in a fully favorable decision she also received a favorable rep me in my Long Term Disability Case. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I also was very... pleased with the ongoing supportive assistance I received from Chris Devila, my case manager and from Katy Berry my LTD Paralegal & Melanie Donaldson. Don’t risk your future by hiring the wrong attorney or worse…giving up because SSA is such a daunting process and you feel so bad to begin with! Hire the best firm hands down!

Great attorneys…amazing staff!

After my 2nd denial I was so ready to give up. Then came Chris Davila, who promised that things would get better and that I had a more favorable out come with an administrative law judge. He explained what would happen moving forward with my case. He was quick to respond to any of my questions by ema...il or phone call as well as keeping me updated with my case. He was on top of his game as to any forms or medical records needed. When my hearing was scheduled Chris explained the process and scheduled an appt with attorney Britney one day before my hearing. And if I heard nothing else I definitely heard and wrote down this little phrase that I will never forget. “ Never just say yes…be specific “ . So after my hearing Chris remained focused on my case. Thankfully I did win my case. Thank you guys for everything you did for me. Marc Whithead & associates run a smooth office. I’ll definitely be referring them to who ever needs a disability lawyer.

Arnold Shields

Letter of Recommendation Dear, Ms.Martin, Ms.McDonald and Mr. Whitehead. My family and I would like to personally thank you for the legal representation of my VA Disability Claim where each and every one of you is responsible for the landmark decision that was made on my behalf. I just wish that ...every veteran and individual that needs an attorney to represent them in their claims for disability will choose Marc Whitehead & Associates. After 50 years of being within the VA Hospital systems and basically alleging that there was nothing wrong with me I hired Marc Whitehead and Associates. In a very short period of time they brilliantly discovered major flaws within my VA treatment spanning over 50 years and obtained a landmark decision in my behalf. Courtney Martin, Case Manager was the most understanding caring and devoted person that took the time with me and with thoroughly understanding all the aspects of my case and responding to my emails answering all my questions and concerns in reference to my disability case. Britney McDonald, Attorney has a incredible brilliant legal mind and possesses a skill to investigate the medical facts and to right the necessary briefs required to expedite disability claims. One day, I hope she becomes a judge because she will be a good one . Marc Whitehead, Chief Counsel for all disability claims has built an elite legal team that will represent all individuals who are in need of legal counsel because they do not back down and will expose the facts which will allow the individuals to receive their disability benefits. I highly recommend Marc Whitehead and Associates and his elite team of Courtney Martin, Case Manager and Britney McDonald, Attorney. Sincerely, Arnold Shields

I have been incredibly pleased with the LTD services provided by Marc Whitehead. I have been impressed by the professionalism, knowledge, timely communications, and compassion exhibited by agency staff. Melanie in particular was a guiding light. She provided ongoing support and prudent insights throu...ghout the lengthy process that eventually resulted in claim approval. She was with me every step of the way and she was sensitive to my unique needs. Madison provided excellent legal advocacy worked diligently, empathetically, and collaboratively to write my appeals. Melissa provided timely and professional support as well. I was immensely impressed with how all of these individuals responded to my questions and concerns. Their conscientiousness, patience, and understanding were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend the LTD team at Marc Whitehead.
