Patricia A. Whitman

I was recommended to Ms Whitman by a friend who had great luck with her in 2017, but she is not the same attorney now. Ms. Whitman is a nice lady and caring but she is all talk and no action. She messed up my support situation badly. I make a good living but Ms Whitman cost me so much time and mon...ey that my friends and family had to do a fundraiser with my church so I could take time off work to find a new attorney, Ms Whitman talks a good game and for the first few months, but whenever we were in court she bombed it, badly. Ms Whitman and I spent a good chuck of time getting information together for my case and I felt great about our case. That quickly changed when it was our day in court and Ms Whitman let my ex and her attorney ramble on and on about things that Ms Whitman knew weren’t true. She just sat there and didn’t say or do anything about it. When the hearing was over I asked her why she didn’t say anything and she just looked at me with a blank stare as if I was an alien from outer space. The same things happened for every hearing afterwards and what topped the cake even more is when I found out that Ms Whitman was talking with my ex’s attorney and never looped me in to most of their conversations with me. When I asked her what they spoke about she got upset with me, she started ghosting me and then blamed her ghosting on me. I have friends who are now divorced and having a hard time getting support because their ex has learned how to play the support game trying to beat the system. That’s how I would best describe Ms Whitman, she knows how to play the attorney game so she can get your money, pretend like she cares by being all chatty with you but when it came time for her to produce anything, she would ghost me and reappear right before a hearing and dropped the ball so badly on my case that she would blame me and everything else but herself. I hope anyone who is reading this takes what I said seriously and before hiring Ms Whitman because she caused problems for my case that didn’t exist when I hired her. I eventually had to get a second job to hire a new attorney because every attorney I spoke with wanted a large amount upfront and said it would take more time and money to correct the problems that Ms Whitman created than to address the original problems with my case
