Posted by Jessica Sutton | June 29, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Lacks communication with clients

I retained Whitney through another law firm she worked for in July 2021 to represent me with my first offense case to get expunged. I gave her the necessary paperwork she needed in order to represent me and my case. She put me on a payment plan to pay $200 since I couldn’t front the whole $2500 upfro...nt. We did chat up until November 2021 (week before thanksgiving) and after that, communication stopped. I reached out to her in January 2022, then in March 2022. The first week of March 2022, I did pay off my payments. I emailed her and the law firm I hired her through, to let them know i did pay off my payments….still no response. I texted her cell phone, left voicemails, etc etc. still no responses. FINALLY, the beginning week of June 2022, she emails me from a brand new law firm email, saying she’s switched firms and she would like to set up a meeting. Cool..I told her I’m available anytime and have her number. Until this day, June 28th, 2022 I have not heard from Whitney Scherck. Now, I gotta save up money again to retain another attorney. I feel like I got scammed and now I gotta wait longer to become a RN because I have to get this expunged. I do not recommend this attorney to represent anyone. Do not give her your money, look elsewhere.

Hi Jessica - I never come on this website (and perhaps for good reason) and just saw your post for the first time. Your situation was, regretfully, a complete outlier. We’ve spent quite a bit of time discussing what happened - after which I took full responsibility on behalf of myself and others and provided you a full refund out of my own pocket. I will message you privately and ask that you take this post down, which I would have done sooner had I seen it. I know you were frustrated at the time, and for good reason - but, as you now know, it is inaccurate and I’m disappointed to see it.

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 12

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've known Whitney for over a decade, and very few attorneys have her zeal to protect those who find themselves accused of crimes. I've seen her argue motions and win trials throughout the state of Georgia. She is passionate and will not back down under pressure from the state. Juries love her, because she breaks the case down to the brass tacks. Judges love her, because she knows the case law better than anyone else who appears before them. She's the best kind of criminal defense attorney, because she puts her clients above all else. I wholeheartedly endorse Whitney, and anyone would count themselves lucky to have her in their corner."

"I endorse this lawyer. What makes Whitney a threat to any prosecutor's efforts is her strong handle of the law and ability to creatively and practically strategize a strong defense for her clients. I've seen her in action and have been inspired!"

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
