The staff was very professional and attentive. They answered all my questions and walked me through the process step by step. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case.

D.W.

The whole staff at Whittel & Melton was nice and always ready to help. However, I worked mostly with Jason. He demonstrated that he understood what to expect with our case and better that he cared about what was happening. I was very pleased with the outcome of our case.
