Responsive, professional, organized, and high quality work

I don't even know where to begin. Greg and Hope have been the greatest of help. They helped me with one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make! (family law) Within a few minutes of our first phone call, I knew I had a great attorney and staff to represent me. He was honest and i mean hones...t he doesn't sugar coat anything, straight forward and definitely knew what the court would do/not do. That is what you want in an Attorney! Responsive, professional, organized, and high quality work, I Recommend Greg and his wonderful assistant hope ! They were great i will say...it was harder to say goodbye as they really become apart of you and your every day life

Good man, razor sharp litigator.

I have had the pleasure to work with Greg Whitten on family, civil, and criminal cases, for over ten years, in one instance on a tough liability issue we obtained a large recovery for each of our clients. Greg is reasonable, ethical, and tough. Solid co-counsel or a formidable opponent he represen...ts his clients well and never quits when a case gets tough.

Outstanding Family Attorney

Greg exceeded my expectations as he representative me for my divorce. His ability to handle my complex divorce which included a complex business structure was invaluable. I enthusiastically recommend adding Greg to your team when in need.

Wonderful law office

Greg provided excellent service for my case! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal advice! If I ever had a question he always had the correct answer, and if he did it he found out for me. Wonderful lawyer and excellent team that he has.

Professional, compassionate , Efficient

Greg took my high conflict case, and knew where to start and how to sort through the mountain of documents, discovery, evidence, and emotion from me that went along with it. He and Hope provided professional service, and compassionate support through a terribly difficult season in my life. I wouldn...’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone that needs an aggressive advocate that also listens and considers your individual circumstances. His legal assistant is also top notch.

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Whitten for almost two decades. My knowledge of Mr. Whitten's work ethic, practice areas, legal experience and trial expertise is based on my personal interaction with Mr. Whitten at several of the same law firms at which we were both employed in the past and where we were both trained by senior trial lawyers with decades of legal experience in a wide variety of legal matters. Thereafter, my experience with Mr. Whitten has been through either working alongside him on various lawsuits or in general as a fellow lawyer in the community. I endorse this lawyer because of his outstanding command of the law, top notch firm experience, and the zealous manner in which he pursues each and every client matter.
