Amos Matthew Whitney

My uncle, an attorney in San Francisco, referred me to a Towson based law firm, which subsequently referred me to W&S. The referring firm mentioned two associates at W&S by name, one of which was Amos Whitney. When I first consulted with W&S, it was with the other referred associate. I hired that ass...ociate, but he moved to another state during the early stages of my divorce proceedings. The prior associate recommended Amos Whitney to take over. The three of us met, and I knew straight away Amos was the right person to see my case through. He quickly came up to speed on my situation, and we developed a strategic roadmap to hopefully settle my divorce in the best possible manner. He was well versed in the law and was able to clearly communicate the realities of my situation. This allowed us to stay on the same page and remain focused on the target end result. Amos was able to connect the information I provided with his own assessment of my former spouse and her situation to recommend tactical actions throughout the case. He knew when to play defense, when to apply pressure, and when to remain silent and force opposing counsel to reassess. He is well acclimated to the family law environment in MD and was straight away familiar with the opposing counsel. My case made it all the way to discovery, and Amos developed a targeted and robust request on my behalf. When my former spouse then decided to negotiate, Amos identified potential pitfalls and provided me with helpful negotiating tips. Ultimately, my case was settled with just about everything I could reasonably hope for. Had my case required litigation, I have every confidence that Amos would have been well prepared and forceful during the trial. Divorce proceedings are not a pleasant experience, but with Amos, I was confident that I had accurate information and top notch advice and representation every step of the way.

My wife had filed for divorce,so I went to a big downtown law firm and they pointed me to their divorce lawyer. It was not a match made in heaven. I didn't feel like he was believing what I told him, even though all the facts that I supplied had been proven correct. It was time to get a new law...yer and this time I was going to do the research. I made appointments with three different lawyers, Amos Whitney being the first. Upon entering his office I was facing a man who looked like Superman, but wearing his Clark Kent disguise. He was very confident and believed in me right away. He was even ten dollars an hour cheaper. I cancelled the other two appointments, I had found my lawyer. The divorce process can be humiliating and frustrating, but he quickly figured the way to guide me through. He was a great confidant to have on my side. The staff was also kind and helpful and the receptionist always knew who I was. They didn't at the big downtown law firm. They would always ask me if I was a client. Not so here. In the end, we came up with an agreement that was much less alimony and child support than I had initially feared. Everything got worked out and I retained my sanity. He stood up against a lawyer who tried to bully me, and Amos always seemed to know someone on the other team that he could work with. You should hire my lawyer Amos Whitney. He's a good man.

There are not enough positive words to describe Mr. Whitney. I went through a very rough divorce which was very stressful and upsetting. Mr. Whitney made my situation go away in a flash of time by working endlessly for me. He made himself available for me 24 hours a day, anytime I had a question or c...oncern. I am forever grateful for Mr.Whitney and his team! He does all the work for you! Thank you again!

Amos represented consistently since my separation, divorce, and non-stop litigation that my ex-husband has filed against me over the past several years. One of these matters eventually and recently found its way to the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland. Amos put together a very well-written, t...houghtful, and strong brief that rebutted all of my ex's argument. He got completely prepared for oral argument on short notice after my ex kept delaying and then refused to withdraw the appeal. The Court of Special Appeals ruled in our favor in only two weeks, which is unheard of -- and I believe I would not have been able to handle the appeal on my own. After several years of litigation, I was without financial resources. Instead of walking away from me, Amos represented me after I was able to come up with a retainer through my social network. He did what he could to keep my costs down for me through all the litigation and appeal efforts. Amos isn't cheap, but his skill, expertise, and ability to navigate complex family law matters are worth every penny. I hope I never need to hire Amos again in the future -- but if you need this type of help, you absolutely can't go wrong with him. While the past year has not been pleasant in many respects, I will always be grateful for Amos and all of the other staff at his firm. Because he believed in me when many would not help me, I have stood up to a bullying ex-spouse and have the best possible future for me and my children ahead of me. Thank you Amos, and a special thanks also to your paralegals, who provided invaluable assistance!

I am a grandmother raising my grandson and was in the middle of a de facto parent custody case. I was not satisfied with my lawyer at the time and decided to go for a consultation with Amos Whitney. From the very first meeting Amos embraced my case as if it were his own. He fought like he was front ...line on the battle field. He won a case that was not a normal everyday custody case. I now have custody of my grandson and am legally the de facto parent. I will forever be grateful to Amos. Winning a de facto parent custody case is not common and required a lot of attention, perseverance and dedication. He is an outstanding and impeccably professional family law lawyer. I recommend him to my family and friends because of the outstanding job he did. He will not disappoint you. He not only knows the law like the back of his hand he will counsel you, defend you and get you the results you want. His litigation process is one with experience, confidence and excellence. If needed he worked around the clock, on weekends and was always available to our family. He is an honest man with good morals. It’s comforting to know going forward I have Amos to turn to if I need legal help at any time.
