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 deliv...er 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.

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 gratefu...l 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!

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.

Dan is the man!

I've been referring clients to Dan for 5+ years now. He helped me with a minor car accident a few years ago as well. Highly recommend!

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 purchase...d 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

"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."
