Recommending Mr. Whitener

Mr. Whitener representation was flawless, he had my case thrown out do to law enforcement violating my rights! He is a very skilled in his legal profession as a criminal defense lawyer and would recommend him very highly! Thank you Mr. Whitener!

Amazing Attorney

I had the opportunity to watch this attorney in trial action and I could tell that he was passionate in his belief of the law, criminal justice, and justice overall. In my opinion if more attorneys were this passionate the American judicial system would be completely different. This attorney has i ...spurred me to pursue a criminal justice career of my own.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
