Prepared and Ready

Mr. Whelan and Joanna, his Paralegal were exceptional in handling my case regarding custody modification for my 10 year old. They were compassionate / knowledgeable and most importantly realistic; they didn’t give false promises and put it straight forward. We had lots of documents and they were ab...le to weed through them for substantial exhibits to be used in our case. Went from joint legal only to joint physical/legal. While we were utterly prepared for court, we settled outside of court standing firm. We were recommended by a couple others to this attorney and we will use/recommend him and his staff in the future.

Two Thumbs Up!!

Mr. Whelan represented me for a lengthy child custody change case. He and his staff are all top-notch professionals, and were always willing to quickly respond to questions and calls to give advice in urgent situations during the process. They were all polite, courteous, and knowledgeable. Just pr...ior to, and in the courtroom--I was amazed at his attention to detail and specifics of the complicated case. He was extremely well prepared at each hearing along the way and there were no surprises. He's honest and will make you aware of what to expect, or not to expect. I highly recommend his firm.
