Highly Recommended

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, harass...ment 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!

Great advice and strategy

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.

Lemon Law Case

Daniel did an outstand job for me handling a Lemon Law case I had. Daniel was responsive and always available to answer any questions I had about my case. Always willing to explain any questions I had , what a pleasure to deal with him during a difficult situation.

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 t...oo 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.

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 settl...ement 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.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've known Dan for several years. He is without a doubt at the absolute forefront of his practice. When it comes to serious bedbug cases, devastating termite damage and consumer protection/car fraud, he is hands-down the first (and only) lawyer that I think of in this area. Aside from the fact that he's a great guy, which is a plus, his case results speak for themselves. If you have one of these cases you will be in extremely good hands if he agrees to represent you."
