Kirk Angel possessed the skills and ability to help me gain vindication against a high level former employer. His guidance definitely enabled me to avoid detrimental pitfalls that can easily be made by a non-legal professional such as myself. My hats off to Kirk and his team!

Kirk Angel is an excellent and highly professional attorney. He is quick to respond to inquiries, outstanding with employment law, and very good at identifying the strategy that will best meet the client’s needs. Kirk’s knowledge of the ADA and the FMLA is extensive, and he brings a level of expertise that has been honed by his years of experience in working with the EEOC. He is a 10 out 10, outstanding, and completely trustworthy. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Mr. Angel was very easy to work with, always putting my needs first. His staff was able to meet with me when it was convenient for me and put in a lot of weekend hours. Mr. Angel was extremely knowledgeable about the laws pertaining to my particular case, which resulted in a settlement. I would highly recommend Mr. Angel for his professionalism, knowledge and as an added bonus, his affordability.

My daughter was twice denied NCESC benefits through phone hearings. Thanks to you and your staff she went through both with calm assurance. Through your tenacity and legal skill, the NCESC sided with my daughter,overturned the decision and awarded her the unemployment benefits she was due. Had she not contacted you,she would have become another statistic of denied benefits. Although she received several solicitations for legal assistance,she chose The Angel Law Firm because of you and your staff

I was fired from my job in December, 2010, and had to have a hearing before the Employment Security Commission to get my unemployment benefits which my employer had contested. I was scared to death! Kirk Angel was my guardian angel. He settled me down, knew exactly what he was doing and went with me to my hearing, which we won! He was professional, knowledgeable and a really nice person. I would highly recommend him to anyone and will use him again myself in the future.

I hired Mr Angel the first time in 2009, I have now used him for three different issues and been pleased on his work on all three. With my former employer, I had worked with many attorney's and I know how most operate. Mr Angel is by far the best attorney that I have ever worked with. He is very professional, intelligent, quick witted, very personable, reliable, and he certainly knows his stuff! I have already recommended him several times to others and will continue to do so! He's the best!

I sought help after I was wrongfully denied unemployment benefits. They aggressively defended my position through two appeal hearings. Mr. Angel stood up to a large corporation and their outside attorney. Ultimately the original decision was overturned and I received my benefits. Had it not been for Mr. Angel I feel I would have been left with no benefits. One can find a larger law firm but one will not receive as much time and personal attention.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
