Quality Service

Kori met with us and created multiple documents for us. She was very professional and respectful of our wishes. She was extremely personable, friendly, and easy to work with. Papers were filed in a very timely manner. We are very pleased. HIGHLY recommend!

Estate Planning

We hired Ms. Whisenant to set up a trust that lays out a specific plan protecting our daughter (and anticipated second child) in the unlikely event of our deaths. Ms. Whisenant was clear with her explanations of how the trust would function and what our options were, helping us choose what worked the... best for our situation. We found her to be very personable as well as efficient, organized, and responsive. Her knowledge and abilities were invaluable in setting up the trust so that we can be assured that our children will be cared for no matter what.

Wonderful Experience

Kori took the time to listen to my situation and offer a few different options for me to consider. She was very knowledgeable and helped me to determine the right path. It was obvious that Kori cared about doing what was right for me and the situation, and not just to rack up bills. She will be my fi...rst call in the future when I have estate/probate questions or if any of my friends are looking for this type of help.

Couldn't hope for a better lawyer.

I'm not sure where to begin with how wonderful Kori is to work with. Originally I hired her to work with my family to plan my Mother's legal documents. About 30 minutes into the initial meeting for my Mother's business I knew my Husband and I would also hire her to take care of our long overdue medic...al/legal/final will and testament paperwork that we'd been putting off for far to long. Kori is above reproach in everything that she has done for both my Mother as well as my legal documents. It is evident right away that she lives up to very high ethical standards. I believe she is a true advocate for her clients. She was very patient and easy to work with. Her ability to work with my schedule was amazing, even during a global pandemic. I found our meetings took way longer than they needed to because she is just so easy to talk to, so well versed. I looked forward to our meetings as I knew I was in for some great conversation. Not sure how often one walks away from a meeting with their lawyer in such a great mood, but we certainly did each and every time. I couldn't recommend a lawyer with more fervor than I do Kori. I only wish she practiced in other arenas in the event we ever needed legal services again. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her right away.

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.
