Foreclosed Property

Engaged Mr. Whelan to negotiate with the owners of a foreclosed property I bought. He did an excellent job and the owners left without causing any damage to my property. S. Sood (CPA, MBA)

Consultation

Mr. Whelan is very straight forward and was honest with me about the situation I presented to him. He could have easily told me anything and I could have been paying fees. I would call him again and tell as many people I know who could benefit from his services.. Thank You

Exceptional Lawyer

Extensive knowledge, awesome attention to detail and superior negotiating skills make this lawyer excellent at his practice of law. We recently have used him for corporate and real estate transactions. We have also used him previously in handling employment contracts as well as negotiation disputes.

Great Attorney

testimonial: Mr. Whelan has served as counsel to our Federal credit union for more than ten years. During that time, he has ably assisted us with contract preparation, debt collection and negotiation, creditors rights, bankruptcy proceedings and general business advice. His legal counsel has pr...oven invaluable, as has his success in recovery of our delinquent accounts. As manager of this organization, I can recommend Chuck Whelan without qualification Middlesex County EFCU

An Excellent Experience

Our family has only the greatest appreciation and respect for the services provided by Mr. Whelan. He represented my 90 year old Mother in the selling of her old home, and the very complicated contract involved in her new home. In addition to being competent, knowledgeable, and professional, he was k...ind and caring. He took care of my Mom as if she were his own! He patiently made sure she understood every paper she signed, despite the "other side" trying to take matters more lightly. He responded promptly to all questions and communications with helpful and effective advice and guidance. In summary, his help was indispensable. He made a difficult situation manageable, and we were really glad he was on OUR side!

Avvo Rating

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.
