Went above and beyond

Whitney was wonderful to step into my case after I had hired another lawyer that I started to feel wasn't working for me. My case was a very difficult case and the attorney that was representing the person against me was very tricky . Whitney stood her ground and wasn't swayed or tricked into settlin...g for less . She is always quick to respond to my messages and keeps me informed on what is going on and what to expect and what my options are . She does her research and knows her stuff going into court .. After my case was over I was able to rely on her to do any follow ups needed and make sure i received the items I was suppose to receive in a timely manner .. I always feel that she is on my side and is working hard for me . I really needed that and appreciated all of her hard work in my case

She's simply the best!

I was fighting my ex for custody of our 2 kids. Everyone told me there was no way in Arkansas that I would win. I was constantly told that majority of the time, the judge always gives the mother custody of the children. I almost gave up on fighting, until I met Whitney. A friend recommended that I sa...t down with her, so I did. After explaining my situation and provided my evidence, her passion alone proved to me Whitney was perfect for the job. I hired her immediately. She explained everything so well and in a way that made it easy to understand. She worked so hard and passionately to lead us towards victory (to win the case). End result: My daughters live with me full-time and we are all living happily ever after. She still currently represents me and is there for me anytime I need her. As a joke with 100% truth behind it, I always tell her that she is the wind beneath my wings. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! In fact, I tried to recommend her to someone and their reply was "I already have an awesome lawyer!" only to find out that she was ALREADY Whitney's client. In conclusion, Whitney made what I thought was only a dream come true. She will never know how much i appreciate and love her for what she's done for me and my family. Thank you Whitney! You are the best!

Best Attorney to have on Your Side!

Whitney has, without a doubt, been the best attorney I could have asked for in my messy divorce. There has been challenge and opportunities come up frequently in our case and Whitney has not only handled them perfectly, she has also communicated what they mean to me and helped me see the big picture.... She has made incredible recommendations to me during our case the that has helped expose truth to the court and ensuring my boys voices were heard, their safety was ensured and their best interests represented. I can't recommend Whitney enough!

Knowledgeable Attorney!

Whitney represented me in my divorce case. I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable attorney! She was so helpful to me as far as helping me understand my rights. Whitney NEVER once made me feel intimidated like some attorneys I have dealt with in years past. Whitney is very easy to talk to, an...d answer what questions I had. She never made me feel rushed & always spent adequate time with me! Whitney is a very vibrant and intelligent woman who knows her job very well!! I would recommend Whitney to anybody that I meet or know that Is in need of a great attorney!! I personally cannot thank Whitney enough for a job well done!

Greatest Lawyer in Arkansas!!!

Whitney is truly the best lawyer I have ever interacted with. Whitney was honest and told me all of my options up front. I used her for two different custody situations and both of them ended in AMAZING results. Whitney was great at negotiating but also looking out for my best interest when needed. ...She brought her game to every meeting and made sure nothing was overlooked. I would encourage anyone to use Whitney, I have personally referred two friends to her. If I have ANY issues in the future she will be the first and only person I contact. I truly trust Whitney and know she will fight for her clients. She didn't just take my money like lawyers I used in the past. She actually called me multiple times to give me updates on my case. I can not say enough good things about her.
