Amos Matthew Whitney

Amos helped our family navigate an outdated custody plan designed for grade school children which no longer fit the lifestyles of two teenagers. The custody case was originally settled more than ten years ago in a different state while my ex-husband and I were still active-duty military and we had bo...th moved to different states after divorcing, making shared primary custody impractical. Additionally, I had initially agreed to no child support in exchange for primary physical custody and settled for minimal child support for 10+ years while I paid for medical expenses, child care, and day-to-day care and feeding for both of our children. It was unfair; however, I prioritized having my children with me while we traveled the globe in support of military service. Amos helped navigate this complex situation, stayed calm, professional, and focused even when the other side missed deadlines, failed to disclose income, made veiled threats, and tried to fight against paying a reasonable amount of child support. Luckily, patience and sticking to the facts prevailed and we were able to settle for extremely favorable terms with a child support increase of more than 250% and included provisions for arrears support! I highly recommend Amos Whitney & Heather Harriss for all of your child custody needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a soon to be single dad, I had a lot of concerns around custody, child support, and dividing of assets. Amos and I were able to move quickly and formalize and agreement that protected me and my child in all areas. I was able to secure primary custody of my daughter and also minimize the money owed... in my divorce. Our situation seemed to change daily, but Amos was always accommodating and encouraging throughout the entire process. I highly recommend working with him, especially if you are in a similar position.

When I was served for an increase of child support, I was concerned that all of the lawyers would not be on my side due to me being a male. Majority of all the positive reviews across searches for lawyers were from women. I found Weinberg and Schwartz then Amos. He was very friendly and truthful with... me. I informed him that I had an upcoming case to obtain full custody of my daughter in which he requested to work with my custody lawyer out of state in VA. I gained full custody and Amos strategically fought against Social Services and stayed persistent. He was able to maneuver in a way that the increase was withdrawn. Immediately he filed for a motion to terminate child support. In which he the other party was avoiding being served. Long story short he got her served. The court date was issued but due to family obligations he wasn’t sure he’d be able to attend, so he employed an associate lawyer Jacquelyn Limsky to represent me on his behalf. I met her on the court date in which she did an amazing job. She explained to me the process when I showed up to court and she performed very well as Amos assured me. Long story short, my motion to terminate child support was granted and post dated back to July 2019 when I gained custody. I’m so happy!!!! He also filed for me to gain child support which will be coming up shortly. Amos fought for me and I will always be grateful for his services. I have been proven wrong that men can’t win in child support cases. Those men just had the wrong lawyer. Hire Amos!!!

As a father being sued for additional child support I was very concerned about the potential legal outcome and the overall complexity of the case. Amos did a fantastic job at reducing the matter to the material legal issues at hand and working hard to get a fair resolution to the matter. Amos kept ...it out of court, keeping costs down, and negotiated a fair settlement that protected me and was in the best interests of my children. He also made sure that I was protected from the matter being re-opened in the future. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.

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.
