Amos Matthew Whitney

I’m thankful I met and got to know Amos Whitney of Weinberg and Schwartz, a family law firm in Columbia, MD. A competent and knowledgeable lawyer, he guided and helped me accomplish the three important documents and put my wishes in place. I’m glad everything is now settled and in order giving me a p...eace of mind. Amos and his staff were very helpful and patient during the whole process. No doubt I would recommend this firm to my friends.

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.

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!

Mr. Whitney was such a God send! He helped me through the rigorous process of serving my soon-to-be ex-husband with divorce papers out-of-state, and helped me get full custody of my son. He made sure I understood everything through the entire process and gave me confidence about the outcome. I finall...y feel like I can make a fresh start, and have a good life with my son. I could not have done this without Mr. Whitney's expertise and help. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of the same assistance!

I sought legal counsel from Mr. Whitney after being served with divorce papers by my ex-husband who is also an attorney by profession. My case was contentious and highly charged. There were three attorneys and four counselors involved in my divorce proceedings. I was specifically seeking an experienc...ed attorney that specialized in family law. It was also important to me that he/she reflected my cores values of honesty, integrity, respect, and was sensitive to the needs of my children. Prior to the initial consultation with Mr. Whitney, I had many questions regarding my children, future, home, the cost of retaining an attorney and the opposing counsel. The opposing counsel was hostile and seasoned. I had a high conflict case. This experience was daunting and emotionally exhausting. It was difficult to assimilate what my future would look like. During the consultation, Mr. Whitney was empathic to my situation. He was poised, professional, and confident. I immediately felt comfortable. For the first time since I was served with the divorce papers, I felt peaceful. His demeanor did not change for the duration of my case. He answered all my questions and assured me that he would work diligently to protect the right and interests of my children and I. The only concern that I had was his youthful appearance but even that proved to be an asset. I believe the opposing counsel underestimated how well-versed he was. Mr. Whitney's rates were competitive. He was sensitive and cognizant of the time spent while working on my case which helped defray my legal expenses. Mr. Whitney made it very clear by his actions that my legal matter came before his profits. He was dedicated to my case. Mr. Whitney invested the time and attention that was needed to get the outcome that I desired. I could not have asked for a better attorney or outcome. He is and was brilliant! I highly recommend Amos Whitney to anyone seeking a family law attorney. If you are looking for an attorney who is as invested in your life, your children, and your interests as you are, Mr. Whitney is that attorney. His passion for people and family law is evident; and his legal expertise is beyond question. Thank you Mr. Whitney!
