Great Experience

I was so blessed to have been represented by Mark Whitehead and Associates. They represented me for my Social Security Disability and Employee Long-Term Disability cases. Both were successful for me. This was a very stressful time in my life, and I felt that they were truly my friends from the begin...ning. From the initial intake and all the way through the process and to the very end, everyone there did an outstanding job. Melanie Donalson watched over me every step of the way, answering phone calls, emails, explaining any question I had. She is truly a very caring lady, as are all of the employees there. I could continue but will end with this. I would highly recommend Mark Whitehead and Associates; you will not be disappointed. This is an outstanding Law Firm.

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.

Highly recommended team of amazing professionals!

After an unexpected severe illness resulted in repeated hospitalizations and medical leave of absence, I contacted MW&A to assist with my employer’s long term disability filing. MW&A guided me through the process and managed all medical records from multiple doctors and hospitals. I obtained quick... approvals on the claims! MW&A is extremely knowledgeable, professional and effective, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.

So Good I Hired Them Twice

I used Attorney Marc Whitehead for both of my Employees Benefits and Disability Claims. Melanie Donaldson was awesome. She responded to every email or call I made. She answered all my questions in great detail to help me understand the process. She even went above and beyond my expectations. Atty.... Whitehead also provided excellent service. Aggie wasn’t as pleasant as the others but she was always professional. I hope that I never have an Employee Benefit problem again but if I do I’d definitely hire this firm again and would recommend them as well. I also hired this form for my Disability claim (in which I lost prior). Jaime Almaguer didn’t respond to to all of my emails and the ones he did respond to took a few days. He wasn’t as thorough as I would have like for him to be. I will say he did do an awesome job of informing me of upcoming appointments and making sure that I’d be there. Everyone I spoke with was nice and professional. All in all the Firm won my case and I’d recommend them again and again.

Very little contact

This review is trying to be open and fair! This firm was hired in a ERISA case.So far this case is approaching 19 months! There is very little contact the secretary keeps changing .E-mails are never answered ! Phone calls never returned! I mean if they did not want the case they should just tell me!

Hi Richard, We apologize that your experience with us thus far is falling short of the high standards we set for ourselves. ERISA cases unfortunately are tough cases to prosecute and are lengthy in nature. Please give us a call at your earliest convenience and our director of client experience Natalie will be happy to discuss your concerns

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
