Intelligent and Fair

I wish I found Mr. Whiteman years ago. I was taken back to court by my ex-wife for an upward modification. Mr. Whiteman pointed out inequities in my original divorce agreement. He did not represent me during my divorce. When you are going through a divorce you trust your attorney to represent you we...ll as they are professionals in their field. I was not represented well by my first attorney. When I contacted Mr. Whiteman he was nothing but professional from day one. He was sensitive to my situation and looked for ways to decrease the cost of his services by being extremely efficient. The outcome was favorable to me and I finally felt represented well. Going to court can be nerve racking and every time I saw Mr. Whiteman walking into court, I felt a sense of relief knowing he was on my side. He is a good man and an outstanding attorney.

utmost professionalism and expertise

John Whiteman and his team handled my divorce case with the utmost respect and professionalism. John's expertise and knowledge of divorce litigation as well as his attention to detail when it came to financial matters were a tremendous help during a most difficult time. John was with me every step of... the way and he is meticulous and very detail oriented. I would highly recommend John to represent anyone in their divorce proceedings.

Outstanding, again!

Mr. Whiteman has been outstanding ever since he was retained, he understands the law, presents all the facts and is straight forward. He has represented me through my divorce, as well in several attempts of modifications to my divorce agreement. Just recently I was served yet again in a modificati...on to my divorce, Mr. Whiteman in return decided to cross motion the modification, in which the other party had and continues to have no supporting documentation. The court has ruled in my favor again. Mr. Whiteman, I thank your firm and you in particular for all that you have done. I would definitely refer anyone to you, no questions asked! Thank you again.
