Peter Matthew Whelan

Previously did business about 5 years ago. He was great and worked ethically. I tried to call recently last week. I had a poor experience with the first receptionist who advised there was no one else I could speak with upon my request. The call was disconnected by the receptionist I believe while I ...was trying to get her name for the purpose of a review and report it to Mr Whelan. I called back and emailed. Spoke to a professional gentleman second time around. I received a shocking follow up email with accusations regarding the interaction considering i was informed there is a recording of the interaction. My experience may or may not be an isolated incident. I recommend if you call and have the same experience, hang up and call back. You may get the second receptionist. If you have a great experience, it may be worth meeting with one of the attorneys. I do not wish to receive further contact from this attorney. I prefer non emotional reaction and responses when dealing with concerns related to a business. The past experience was great. The present is not professional. Perhaps it was a bad day to call. We all have a tough day.

Peter was excellent in clarifying for me the applicable statues around my concern with equal pay, including to which party the burden of evidence would fall, and specific things I could consider in making decisions to move forward. Great listener, and offered me well targeted communication strategie...s.

Peter Whelan has an amazing knowledge of the law and of the legal process. The legal briefs he has written has surpassed anything I have seen during two decades of a career which required me constantly working with many other attorneys. Pete is a warm and caring person who provides the h...ighest level of legal representation. He is diligent and will absolutely worked tirelessly on the behalf of his clients. Pete will address any question or concern almost immediately. He is totally professional and polite to everyone in legal proceedings, yet absolutely tenacious on behalf of his clients. Even after all my years of dealing with the legal process; it has been absolutely educational watching him work. I could never fully describe the appreciation I have for Pete’s efforts. The dedication and devotion Pete Whelan has shown will never be forgotten. During this arduous process Pete has provided flawless guidance through the entire legal system and has always given the very best legal advice. In the darkest hours you will be comforted with the knowledge that you are being represented by Pete Whelan. W. Hondo Hunter

Pete Whelan worked with David Wachtel (reviewed separately) to represent me in an employment discrimination case. I really enjoyed working with Pete and would recommend him highly. Right off the bat, I was struck by Pete's demeanor and "bed side manner." I think he's incredibly well suited to ...employment law. Legal issues with an employer, I've learned, can get surprisingly personal and nasty. If you're someone who places your identity in your professional life, this is an incredibly painful experience. Pete never sugar coated, but managed to take some of the "sting" out of the worst moments in my case. I also appreciated how well Pete communicated with me during a long, drawn-out negotiation. He explained things clearly and I left every call feeling like I had been empowered to make an informed decision. As an employee going up against an employer, I felt like David going up against Goliath. Working with Pete helped me level the playing field and led to a fair outcome.
