Britney McDonald and Melanie Donaldson were a pleasure to work with. They worked diligently and efficiently to get my LTD case settled as soon as possible. They were very professional and accommodating, especially since I’m in a different state, as well as very pleasant while explaining everything to me. I would definitely recommend Marc Whitehead & Associates for your disability case, whether it is SSDI or LTD.
