So Glad I found her

My husband decided randomly he wanted a divorce. Through searching many attn profiles I came across Mrs. Whitaker's website. Her initial consultation was very detailed and made me feel comfortable in being 100% completely honest with her from the start. She def has her clients best interest, and an a...ttn that doesn't miss a detail. Another impressive quality that Mrs. Whitaker has shown, is her free consultation, was exactly that, a detailed consultation. We did not even discuss her retainer fee until I decided she was exactly the attn I needed. I had called several attn who asked for $4k up front, just for a consultation, without me knowing anything about their practice. Divorce always brings out many emotions. Mrs. Whitaker has the personality and knowledge, that you know you can trust during life changing events. I highly recommend her, she is always available, even if you need to call to vent.
