This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional in every aspect.

Michael Whisonant provided a lot of hope to my family and I at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a positive resolution seemed highly unlikely. He is very professional lawyer to say the least. Not only was he able to defend me from a difficult situation, his calm and empat...hetic demeanor offered a lot of support to myself and my family. My mother and I are very grateful for his service and I 100% would recommend Michael for tough cases without hesitation.
