Representing injured and deceived consumers is what we do. Too often, consumers are taken advantage of by businesses with deep pockets who have no regard for fair practices or doing the right thing. Consumers are often ignored when they complain of being treated unfairly or when they receive vie less than what was expected, whether in a deal for a car, in a new apartment, or when buying a new home. By obtaining experienced legal representation, consumers can fight back and force a bad actor to do the right thing.

Consultations are always free, and 99% of my cases are taken on a contingent basis, meaning there are no out-of-pocket expenses for my clients, and all attorney's fees and case expenses are paid out of compensation we recover for you.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Mr. Dan is an awesome guy! 2020 I went to finance a car from a dealership and they failed to tell me everything that I needed to know about the car I didn't have a title to the car and this went on for months and I couldn't get my tags or my registration and I was still making payments, the dealer kept giving me the run arounds about the title and kept blaming MVA. 3 months later I found out from MVA that the car was salvaged with a rebuilt title, I went back to the dealership to get my money back and give them the car back they refused to give me my money back. I called different lawyers who told me they do not think I have a case. I found Mr. Whitney on google and talked to him about my situation he allowed me to explain what was going on and then had me to send him all my paperwork from the dealer and told me I have a case and that he will start on my case right away. Mr. Whitney kept me informed of everything that was going on from start to finish. I am able to say today that Mr. Whitney fought for me and got my money back and I am very thankful for him. Mr. Whitney Thank you so much.

Really can't say enough good things about Dan. After discovering that our apartment was utterly uninhabitable, we approached management with the sincere belief that our concerns would be addressed. Instead of them resolving our issue, we instead found ourselves subjected to months of bullying, harassment and intimidation. We felt utterly voiceless. We found Dan and from our very first conversation with him felt an immediate sense of relief and empowerment. Dan handled every aspect of our case from start to finish with expert knowledge, professionalism and confidence. He was always easy to reach and communicated extremely well throughout the process. We are very satisfied with the outcome of our case and I really can't recommend Dan highly enough. Thank you Dan!

Rental Property
My family and I were lucky to find a knowledgeable attorney like Dan Jr. Before working with him the legal advice we received from other lawyers was pretty discouraging and left us with a feeling of defeat. He called me and agreed to represent us at a perfect time, I was on the verge of signing an agreement that would’ve removed our landlord from any legal ramifications. His confidence in our case and expertise in what he does gave us the hope we desperately needed at a tough time. Very grateful to have worked with Dan and the Whitney firm, I would definitely recommend them for anyone seeking legal representation.

Very highly recommended!
Dan Jr. at Whitney LLP agreed to help my family at a difficult time for us. We were involved in a messy consumer dispute with a company we did business with, and I was worried that we could be out of options. Luckily we asked Dan, who immediately identified the issues and took action. We felt grateful to have his tireless help on our side, and sure enough, he got rapid results. I am happy to give Dan and Whitney LLP my highest recommendation!

Could not ask for better representation. 1000 stars!
Whitney, LLP has helped my family over a ten year+ period with several legal matters, including a case against a major national car rental company that tried to defraud us--and just recently, in a battle against a national moving company that held a pod of our possessions hostage and refused to deliver it to our home after a cross-country move. In the case of the moving pod, the company supervisor insisted repeatedly that the company would not deliver the pod to our driveway where we could unload it at our leisure, as agreed in the contract. Instead, the supervisor invited our attorney to contact him to be told why at OUR expense, we would have to rent a huge truck and hire workers to unload the pod in a remote location, 40 miles from our home, into a truck, and then drive the re-loaded items to our home and unload them a second time ourselves. Despite the supervisor's urging us to have our attorney contact him, within 24 hours of Dan Whitney Jr.'s emailed letter to this supervisor, the company not only resolved the issue, but ended up providing workers to unload the pod for us at our home! It was both Dan's knowledge of Maryland Consumer Protection law and effective tactics in his general approach that got us such amazing results--and so quickly. In other words, Dan didn't just fix the problem, but we ended up better off than if the company had just done what it promised originally. I cannot say enough good things about both Dan Whitney Sr and Dan Whitney Jr. after having their help with several legal matters of different types. They are both incredibly smart, sharp, and moral--exactly the kind of attorneys that you want fighting for you, making sure that injustices are remedied fairly and expeditiously. Look no further for world class representation and results from attorneys who truly care about their clients' welfare.

Great legal advice when I needed it. He was always available and willing to discuss my situation when I had questions. Dan had a strategy and was able to apply it to get what I thought it was very fair. I would not hesitate to call him again.

Exceptional Legal Support
I was the victim of a consumer fraud case in MD from a car dealership. I found the Whitney Law Firm online and presented my information to them. Dan Jr. contacted me soon after and agreed to represent me. He was always knowledgeable, professional, and prompt with correspondence. He never seemed too busy to answer any questions, and always kept me informed. His persistence and legal action resulted in me receiving a full refund settlement without going to court. I highly recommend the Whitney Firm. I cannot express my level of satisfaction with just 5 stars.

From Start To Finish, Dan Whitney Delivers The Best Results & Experience
From Start To Finish, Dan Whitney and the Whitney Law Firm Delivers The Best Results & Client Experience I have ever had the pleasure of receiving from a legal encounter like the one I just went through. I am extremely thankful I have Dan in my corner as my attorney. Before My wife and I purchased our first home, My recent & previous landlord planned to keep our security deposit against MD law and human decency. Dan Reviewed my lease and my situation carefully. After getting the full run down of the situation he simply told me to NOT worry at all and that I would get my deposit back in full. He said that we would have to follow a certain set of strategic steps that would result in a WIN for me as long as we followed the path he laid out. Per MD state law, on day 46 when my deposit was not returned in full, and I never received an itemized list via certified mail, Dan sent a letter to the landlord outlining their violations and exactly what would happen if my deposit was not returned in full by 8/30/2018 @ 5pm. After the landlords attorney tried to negotiate multiple times issuing petty threats that they would see us in court, I would receive calls from my landlord. Dan said to keep everything via text so We could have a paper trail. Within two text exchanges, instructed from Dan to me, they said they would drop off my check the next day 8/28/2018, a full 2 days earlier than the deadline for them. I suppose the defending side wanted no more interaction with my attorney and saw how much worse this was about to get for them. After Dan was brought in, the landlord did what was right and paid me my money in FULL. THANK YOU WHITNEY LAW FIRM! JK

Could not be happier with the service and results I received from Dan Whitney Jr and his firm. My wife and I were involved in 2 separate car accidents leaving us injured and without any vehicles. Dan took the time to get us the help we needed medically and from the owner of car dealership. He made sure we made whole on every level. Highly recommend!

Great job
Daniel Whitney Jr. represented me in a bedbug case. Not only was this case finished in a timely manner I received a more than fair judgement for the circumstances. Mr. Whitney kept me informed and assured me that his firm was fighting for me being taken advantage of. Bedbugs are no joke and the settlement reached is not a laughing matter to the business that neglected my welfare. I never needed an attorney prior to this incident but now i have one that i am grateful for and would highly recommend to anyone needing their services.
