Outstanding Attorney

I can't say enough about Jeannarie Whalen and the staff at Dominick,Cunningham and Whalen. I was severely injured on a construction site where liability was not cut and dry Jeanmarie Whalen Took on my case when others said it was too complicated. Through her persistence, knowledge, compassio...n and willingness to never give up, my case was one with an incredible settlement She goes above and beyond when negotiating with insurance companies and never settled until she was satisfied that the outcome was in my best interest I highly recommend Jeanmarie Whalen and her staff for their professionalism and perseverance

Highly recommended

Recently my wife and I were involved in a serious motorcycle accident. We retained Jeanmarie Whalen from Domnick Cunningham and Whalen. Upon meeting Jeanmarie,we quickly realized how knowledgeable courteous and friendly she is . We received calls from her 2-3 times a week to check on our well being a...nd making sure to answer our questions during this difficult time. She was truly a blessing. Jeanmarie remained vigilant and maximized the take home of our settlement. She and her staff handled our case in a very caring and professional manner. We will be forever grateful,and would highly recommend this law firm .

Personal Injury

Jeanmarie Whalen worked for six years on our case. It was a very intricate pyramid of companies, each trying to put the responsibility on the other. Jeanmarie never gave up. She continued to fight for our rights. In the end Jeanmarie won our case with an outstanding settlement. This settlement i...s helping us face now and the future with the means and security we would not otherwise have. We are forever in her gratitude for her endeavor and tenacity, with which she won our case. You will not fine an attorney that will fight harder for your rights.

Trustworthy, Compassionate and Gets Results

My husband sustained very severe injuries shortly after we arrived in the Palm Beach Gardens area and I did not know where to turn. I was referred to Jeanmarie Whalen and she took charge. Jeanmarie stepped in and effectively dealt with the insurance companies while protecting the integrity of our cl...aim. She showed compassion and strength and I immediately felt relieved. She steered the case through a very complex and contentious fight that proceeded through trial. In the end, Jeanmarie Whalen obtained a multi-million dollar verdict. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Jeanmarie. Jo-Ann

Jeanmarie Whalen - An Excellent Attorney

My wife and I were new to Florida when I was injured. I was in intensive care for weeks and we had no idea how to navigate through all the new Florida-specific provisions for handling insurance or filing a claim. Jeanmarie Whalen was recommeded to us and we are so glad to have chosen her. Ms. Wh...alen stepped right in and immediately came to the assistance of my wife - who otherwise would have had to handle everything by herself. It was truly overwhelming and frightening for us and we would not have known what to do without Ms. Whalen's help. Once I got out of the hospital, Ms. Whalen continued to be a lifeline. Her compassion and personal involvement are truly wonderful. Whenever we have a question, she picks up the phone immediately or, if she is busy with other matters, she calls us back no later than the end of the day. Ws. Whalen keeps us informed regarding the status of our case and she provides valued guidance. Jeanmarie Whalen's passion for helping and dedication to the practice of advocacy and personal injury law is an example of why people enter the profession - to help others. During my career I had the opportunity of working with many lawyers, Jeanmarie Whalen ranks at the top.

  • 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.
