Dedicated to the Law and to his Clients

John's assistance was invaluable to me recently during a sudden and rather emotional event in my family's life. Our beloved mother suffered a massive stroke, literally days before she had "planned" to sign her will, advance directive and medical power of attorney. As her primary care giver, you can... imagine what a "tail spin" I was in. Even though I am in Delaware, John took the time to research my issues and offer advice as to what my next steps should be. Between my work schedule, trips to and from, first, the hospital and then the rehabilty/nursing home, conversations with John took place at all hours. Even then, John reassured me with his knowledge and willingness to do whatever it took to keep me sane and reach the best possible outcome.

Jonh B. Whalen -- A Caring Attorney

I used John's experience to set up my will, power of attorney and living will and recently revising them after the passing of a loved one. He was very caring and understanding of my needs and was very helpful in offering sugggestions in areas that I did not consider. The documents he produced for me... were completed in a timely and professional manner. I would highly recommend John to all that need the services of an excellent estate attorney.

Good Teacher

John helped me teach an Ethical Wills course at Widener University's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. His preparation and presentation were excellent and he held the class's attention for an hour and a half.

I highly recommend John B Whalen Jr for estate, probate, wills

When my mother passed away, I knew I would need an attorney to help probate the will and guide me through the maze of responsibilities I had as executrix. John is not only a skilled and knowledgeable attorney, he is also someone who can patiently explain complex and confusing legal issues in simple, ...easy-to-understand language that a layperson can understand. Best of all, John would meet with me regulary in my home, so I didn't need to worry about traveling to an attorney's office several times a month. And John is available 24/7 (many people might make this claim, but John really means it). I highly recommend John for anyone having to deal with estate issues, probates, wills, etc.

Review - John B. Whalen, Jr

Mr. Whalen on two occasions gave guidance and prepared my living will, Power of Attorney and Last Will and Testament. He was always professional, competent, clear, and patient with my many questions.
