Exceptional legal support during difficult times!

I hired Whitney to help with a custody case, and I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and support. She explained every step of the process clearly and answered all my questions. Whitney is very compassionate and made me feel heard during a difficult time, and always responsive. Thanks to her hard... work, we reached a fair custody agreement that worked well for everyone involved. I highly recommend Whitney Matney to anyone going through a family legal matter.

Highly Recommended

After going through a very long custody battle and using different attorney's in the process, Ms. Matney was by far the best fighter for me. Not only was she prompt in responding to my emails and calls, her knowledge for my case was superior. She new exactly what needed to be done to achieve what I ...wanted and knew to be best for my son. Her recommendation for an ad litem for my son was also outstanding because she new that he would be very thorough in his part of our custody case. Thanks to her she has prevented and saved my son from a very negative, dangerous influence. I cannot express how much I appreciate her. I recommend her to anyone who needs someone to fight for the safety of their child.

The best custody lawyer one could ask for!

I hired Whitney in 2017 to help me through a particularly difficult custody case. I've spent many hours in her office in regards to different issues and she never once treated me as If my concerns weren't valid. She is really great at giving you straight forward answers and calming any uncertainty th...at exists. Whitney works hard for her clients and has the backbone we needed. I've referred a few people to her and will continue to do so.

A great family lawyer!

Mrs. Matney did an amazing job with my divorce and custody case. Her communication skills were fantastic. I was always kept in the loop about my case and she was always accessible. She was so good i can't even think of anything i would say she needed to improve on.

SO SO GREAT!!

Whitney helped us with custody issues for my son. She was honest and compassionate. She listened to my concerns and kept in touch with me every step of the way. Before Whitney I had gone through two other attorneys and they all disappointed in some way and didn't seem to care. Whitney made me feel li...ke I was her only client and let me vent to her on more than one occasion! She also recommended a great counselor for my son to see as well. She knows what she is doing and will take care of you.
