Don't get Sold Out Like I Did!

Once again, I would give this law firm ZERO Stars if I could! I was involved with them several years ago with a disability case I had with them. Sadly, I got stuck with one of their useless lawyers named Madison Donaldson who In short sold me out and tried to force me to take a very small settlement ...instead of looking out for my best interest and pushing for a better outcome. In the end I lost the court case due to their inept legal skill set. They refused to send me for an extensive functional capacity examination and the appeal they wrote looked like it was written by a third grader. After losing the court case I spoke to numerous other law firms and they all told me that Marc Whitehead & Associates is just a "mill type" law firm that just tries to take any low-ball settlements just to win cases and never push for their client's best interest. Sadly, I wish I would have known this before hiring them. This place is an absolute SCAM and if you really need a good disability lawyer DO NOT use them as they will sell you out! PS, like all worthless companies that unfortunately I have had to give a bad review to, they will probably say "they have no record of me" to try and make this review sound false. Believe me when I tell you it is far from false!! A.P.

Great experience!

I hired Marc Whitehead & Associates to fight my SSDI claim after being denied twice. Monique Muras was great with getting me on board. Crystal Perez communicated with me during the entire process, and no matter how many questions I had or emails I sent, she was always so nice with her responses. ... To the rest of my team, you are amazing - attorney Brittany McDonald; Lupe Acevedo; and Kimberly Warren. Everyone worked hard and pulled everything together to get me ready to see the Administrative Law Judge. My attorney, Brittany, represented me well during my hearing which resulted in us winning our case. I thank God for the decision and that I found them! I would definitely recommend this law firm!
