Pleased with service

John was invaluable throughout the divorce process. I would highly recommend his services. During a difficult time he kept the process moving along and worked diligently to come up with a fair and equitable settlement

Compassionate & Comprehensive

John was my attorney through a long and difficult divorce process, as well as my support through multiple post-divorce life changes. He has always been extremely professional, thorough, and responsive, but most importantly to me, has been his patience and compassion. Divorce has by far been the most ...tolling experience in my life, especially transitioning from a new parent to a single parent in such a short period of time. Even in my darkest of times, John helped make sense of the entire process by taking the time to explain every detail of what would become my separation and divorce agreements. He brought confidence to all my uncertainty and anxiety, by reassuring my contributions to the marriage and my rights as a mother. I am extraordinarily grateful to have had his guidance through this and will continue to recommend him to anyone I meet facing a potential divorce.

Look no futher.....

If ever there was a lawyer that epitomized the six "P's", it would be John Whiteman! What are the 6 P's you may ask?? PROPER PREPARATION PROMOTES PREMIUM PERFORMANCE! I have sought John Whiteman's legal counsel a few times over the past ten years and each and every time, his preparedness, attention t...o detail, commitment, and dedication have been the key components that brought about only positive results and success each and every time! In my opinion, I believe that he has a passion for what he does and when you find counsel with a passion for his work together with all of the above, I think you have a winning combination! He is definitely someone I would want in my corner when faced with a legal challenge. I highly and confidently recommend John Whiteman, who in my experience is outstanding and an expert in his field!

Modification Agreement

John worked with me after I had a terrible experience with a different attorney that cost me thousands of dollars and got me no where. John set realistic expectations and gave me honest feedback on what he could and couldn't do to help me. He guided me through the process of modifying my old agreeme...nt to clarify my parental rights. He also worked efficiently to stay within my budget. He was friendly, thorough and responsive. The only feedback I have (which wasn't completely in John's control) is that I would have preferred less email communication with opposing counsel. I think emails can omit the social cues that can be helpful in these types of legal matters. Would I hire John again...YES.

Outstanding Service - Highly Recommend

I would highly recommend the Joseph Law Group. My attorney, John Whiteman, was very understanding of my situation and did everything to ensure I was well informed of the process and satisfied along the way. He always listened to my concerns and took the appropriate action. I really appreciated h...im being so open and honest. He was also very thorough and made sure nothing was missed. While everyone knows attorneys can be expensive, John explained what they do to try to save costs. To that point, he communicated with me, when necessary, but didn't waste time with frivolous items. His candor was appreciated. Divorce is not easy, but I am glad I had John to guide me through it, and most importantly achieve a timely and fair outcome.
