I was on holiday in NYC at a young age. My English was basic and I was caught shoplifting, which was really a prank me and my friend played on each other. I was caught with an 8$ wallet in my bag. Something so stupid all of a sudden became a very big thing. I had no-one who could help and didn't spea...k much English. I was put in contact with Tara, thanks to contacts we shared together. She took my case and helped me through all the red tape and documentation. I was very scared and she supported every step of the way. I left back home and she continued the appeal on her side. At the end my slate was wiped clean and i have no record. I have to thank her a lot for her passion, comprehension and support.

Words cannot even begin to express how tremendously grateful I am to Ms. Whelan for her true and sincere compassion, in conjunction with extraordinary legal assistance, during one of the most challenging times in my life. She guided me through handling a sensitive and dangerous relationship with r...estraining orders, endless court appearances in different boroughs, and made sure I made decisions based on facts and not my emotions. She absolutely refused to give up until justice was served and I felt safe. During that trying time, I felt like she was my not only my attorney, but my therapist, my confidant, and my hero. Tara also represented me through a DUI charge that stemmed from the domestic situation I was struggling with. Having an important career where I would potentially lose my licensure, Ms. Whelan was a true fighter, and such a skilled attorney, that a life altering event was successfully plead down to nothing but an infraction. I owe my career to her and am eternally grateful. Ms. Whelan not only saved my future and my career, but she helped me see the error in my ways, and changed my life for the better. Regardless of the time or the importance of my matter, every phone call and email was promptly and personally returned. Ms. Whelan made me feel like I was her most important client, and was by my side for every court date, in every borough, on every day. She gave me very practical advice and supplied necessary information to allow me to make my own informed decisions. She led me through the long and daunting legal process, yet never lost her patience and compassion, despite my frequent and overwhelming inquiries. While coming highly-recommended to me, Ms. Whelan’s level of expertise and professionalism surpassed even my greatest expectations. She made me feel comfortable, confident, supported, and assured, every step of the way. Aside from her obvious skill level, talent, and remarkable success rate, Ms. Whelan is genuinely committed to each and every one of her clients. Simply put, a lawyer like Ms. Whelan is a Godsend; truly and exceptionally rare. Though it surely goes without saying, I would never hesitate to refer her outstanding services to anyone in need, and would never think to rely on anyone else if I needed legal services in the future. There honestly is no better choice in legal representation. Now, years after my case has been won, Ms. Whelan will still call and check up on me to see how I'm doing. How many attorneys will ever do that? I live across the country now, and she is still the first and only person I call for anything legally related. To be represented by Ms. Whelan is to be forever protected, forever safe, and forever valued. Thank you for it all, Tara.

Ms. Whelan was referred to me by my cousin she took my case which was a possession with intent which is a Felony. At my arraignment she got me a very low bail. I have priors so I was really looking at doing time. She miraculously got me a program and a violation. Tara is awesome , Tara's great at wh...at she does. I recommended her to my nephew,and two other people I know and they were pleased with the outcome of their cases as well. Highly recommend her.
