John Patrick Whiteman III

John is an excellent attorney. He stands out from others in the field by providing direct, honest, and reasonable advice while being approachable, accessible, and attentive to detail. Although my divorce case at first look seemed pretty simple, it was not. There were some challenges including deali...ng with NYCERS pensions, annuities, Life Insurance policies and the various curve balls that were thrown at us. John understood my needs and ensured that every T was crossed and every I was dotted . He was quick to write an email or text back to me. I highly recommend this firm. You will get what you pay for.

A divorce is not something one ever thinks they will go through. I had never, in my life, thought I would have to deal with something of this magnitude, anything involving an attorney and my future - all by myself. And there I was, having to do just that. I was nervous, anxious and very emotional. Th...e Joseph Law Group came highly recommended by a friend and I went for a consultation. I was introduced to John Whiteman the day I signed my retainer and I can honestly say I am so thankful that he was the attorney assigned to my divorce case. At our first meeting (I was a crying mess) he gave me a box of tissues and listened to me attentively and patiently, asked questions and explained the beginning process of the divorce. He calmed my anxieties and fears and assured me we would get through this together. There was an ease about him from the moment we met. My divorce was a 15 month process - with many ups and downs-and he remained the exact same person throughout those months as he was when we first met. I can honestly say that I am beyond thankful that John was by my side. He was ALWAYS respectful, honest, forthcoming and attentive to me and my feelings, and any questions or concerns I may have had about my case. Even questions that I thought might seem silly never were to him...all of my concerns were important, every one of them. He was always thorough in his explanations and as we moved forward, continued to be. He was always available and responded to me in a very timely manner...even through Covid and the delays that it caused. A divorce is not an easy process for most, at least it was not for me. John always calmed me down when I felt I was on the edge - just a genuine and compassionate human being. His knowledge of divorce and the laws that come with it is impeccable. He was honest from the beginning to the very end. He went over every aspect, each step, as we went through them together - all in terms I could understand. He always kept me up to date with any and all correspondence and any changes that were possibly happening from my ex husband and his attorney. In closing I want to say that John is an amazing lawyer who was very loyal to my case, to me, and to all of my concerns. He did everything he possibly could and then some to help me reach the best possible outcome and he succeeded. I do not want to forget to mention the wonderful office staff as well. Everyone in the office was helpful and kind to me - whether it was a phone call, an email, or a meeting at the office. I would HIGHLY recommend John Whiteman III should you ever need a divorce attorney. He is in my opinion the best attorney you could ask for, by far.

Getting through a divorce after 47+ years of a marriage is no easy feat, but somehow, this guy managed to make it happen against lots of obstacles. With all the delaying tactics the "other side" used, John was always wiling to do my bidding - in fact he reminded me often that he was there to advise m...e on making those decisions; the decisions were mine to make. When I became frustrated with the process (one that took 18 months), he would talk me down from the ledge. He made himself more available to me than I expected. I would constantly tell him that he didn't have to respond so quickly to my rants...just be there to hear me out. I found Mr. Whiteman to be respectful of my time. Despite my telling him he could call me 24/7 (yeah, I was anxious to have this done), he would always text or e-mail me first to see if it was okay to call me. He is a true professional who knows his stuff. My particular case involved many sidebars, which when it began, I thought would never be able to be handled by just one lawyer. I was wrong; John was able to navigate through those waters without having to call in additional help. Throughout the ordeal, he was always cognizant of using my money efficiently. He would often remind me that he did things to "not waste my money." How often does one hear that from a lawyer? In summary, if you're in the market for a divorce, John Whiteman III is simply, the best!

From the moment I met John he was honest and straightforward about the divorce process. He took the time to understand my case, the issues that could arise and what matters were most important to me. From there he provided his guidance and experience on matters that ranged from financials to child c...ustody. I am happy to say he was right on all of them. I felt that John was always accessible and didn't waste my time or money. I knew exactly where I stood in the timeline of my divorce and I always felt that he had my best interests in mind. If you are looking for representation I would look no further than John Whiteman and the James Joseph Group.

I believe the destiny takes you to the right place. Being said that, I would like to mention about myself that- Yes, the destiny took me to the right place when I decided to change my previous greedy and inattentive attorney and hired Joseph Law Group to represent my unusual yet complicated divorce ...case in Nassau County. The office staff was very professional who know how to deal with the client either over the phone or in person. Whereas, attorney John P. Whiteman of Joseph Law Group came out to be one of the professional, knowledgeable, attentive, diligent and friendly attorneys to present my case in the court. He is the man, who fights for his client’s rights based on his extensive knowledge of law, leaving no chance for the opposition how to react. This is best quality of the attorney be able to rightly and dominantly represent his client. John listened and understood my case situation within moments and suggested the right moves from there. He always responded my emails and phone queries without taking much time, which gave me satisfaction that yes, my case is well taken care of and not left apart. I was worried due to the complexity of my case which involved divorce as well as property and child custody, whereas John has been constantly guiding me by his straight to the point and satisfactory answers. I must agree that he is high-priced attorney and being a single parent, it was hard for me to bear the attorney’s fee but end of the day when the result comes fast and all in your favor due to your professional attorney, you refuse to take a note of your pain spending that much. With giving 5 Star rating to this group and attorney, I highly recommend hiring John P. Whiteman of Joseph Law Group to handle your divorce related case with no doubts.
