Deanna Lynn Whitley

First call resolution. One call - that's all it took. After explaining my situation involving wrongful withholding of adequate child support, I stepped back and got out the way as Attorney Whitley and her team surgically executed to a powerful resolution. There were situations in this case that he...r attorneys simply foretold. How reassuring to watch matters unfold just as they said. That type of savvy is only borne from a team of true professionals who know the angles, mindsets and proclivities of people they need to battle. Just as with my divorce, Attorney Whitley delivered in ways that spared me and my children financial hardship in the long run. I am so thankful to have found someone with grit who is passionate about fighting for me and my child. Attorney Whitley is much more than a winner. She is someone who you never want to war against when it matters concern preserving her clients.

I hired Deanna and her team in 2018 when my marriage of 23 years was coming to an end - with a final divorce date of May 2019. Deanna and Dallas and the team were non-judgemental, supportive, and patient, while diligent and thoughtful in all their dealings with me and my ex's numerous attorneys. I kn...ew I was in good hands when I showed up for mediation and the mediator confided in me that he always enjoys working with the Whitley Law Firm. They were recommended to me by my victim advocate on JBSA due to their help with military divorces and difficult circumstances. I was able to put all of my trust in them completely - provide them with the facts and they would navigate the system to benefit both myself and my children. They helped me navigate selling a house, transferring names from cars, getting military benefits and a nasty tax situation. If they can avoid court - they will. And they have great relationships with their fellow attorneys. I keep Deanna on speed dial and know they will be for me when I need them again - which seems to be a trend for my dear ex. I suggest you contact them for a consultation if you are in need - you won't regret it.

The entire Whitley Law Firm is amazing. My wife and I met with Deanna in our first consultation, was quoted an amazing retainer fee, and they were off and running. The Dallas was great at keeping us updated and being flexible with the challenges we were having with the court. At every turn the team w...as professional and courteous but even more they really cared about us and the outcome of our adoption. It was a real pleasure working with them and we will definitely reach out again if we have a need.

July my life was turned upside down my soon to be ex told me I’d have no contact with our daughter, and that I was not her father and I had no rights to her. I had no clue where to start or how to make sure that didn’t happen. I am a trans father my daughter was conceived through IUI, so I had one op...tion. Find a attorney that not only supported LGBT but one that would fight like no other for my rights as a father. I was pointed in the direction of Ms. Whitley and her team. The day I called the firm a calming voice answers and we go through all that has happened. With no pause I was invited that same day for a consultation. The moment I stepped foot in that office I felt a sense of relief the atmosphere, the lay out, the staff. Everything! we maybe waited 10 if that. Once I was in with Ms.Whitley and all was on the table with my case she went into depth on her history as an attorney as a person and as a mother. I had never felt more comfortable. The way she spoke in nothing but high spirit so positive and reassuring tones. I felt so confident. I felt relief I felt assured we were going to win this case. The work started right then and there. I left knowing my family and I would be able to sleep a little easier that night. Her team was in constant contact with me via email text and phone. I loved knowing I could send a quick email and I’d have a response in minutes. I also likes how all the invoicing was done a breakdown of all that is being done and where you money is going. Because we all know money is important and to be able to see how it’s being used was helpful and honest. The day of court came around and I was put in the hot seat with a case that wasn’t in my favor due to being in a small rural town and lgbt isn’t quite understood or even accepted. And if you need someone to educate Ms. Whitely is the person you need. I learned a few things that day as well. The judge walked in that court room with her mind set so we were gonna have to work hard. And we did just that! Visitation was established, by that time it had been well over a month since I had seen my daughter. After our almost 6 hour court hearing we had good news. I was gonna get visitation and the judge ruled “standing”. Which isn’t good enough in any situation I believe. So Whitley was ready to take it to appeals and we were gonna win this. She wasn’t backing down she knew the law and knew I had rights. But luckily we didn’t have to go that far and we ended up settling. I got all that I asked for I get my child often and it has been the biggest blessing. All thanks to an amazing team. I will forever be grateful to the Whitely law firm and her partner. If you are looking for someone who is fair firm and consistent Ms. Whitley is right for you.

I finally found the light at the end of the tunnel with the help of Deanna! She is a GOD SEND. My divorce took me 2 years of ups and downs. I was so devastated and so lost in the beginning, unsure, not knowing where to turn. I am so grateful to have Deanna and her legal team represent me in my case. ...My case was not a simple divorce case. She was able to maneuver confidently in the courtroom while giving me peace. She comes up with creative strategies that helped me. I know she made some suggestions to me pertaining to my case that I didn’t understand at the time why she was recommending it, but boy am I glad I listened to her. Before I decided to hire Deanna, I have gone through a vigorous process of interviewing a dozen of attorneys. None of the attorneys that I have interviewed could give me the assurance that I would get the best representation. It wasn’t until I made a consultation with Deanna to discuss my case that I knew I made the right choice. I listened to my heart and I knew she was the right attorney to represent my children and I. The divorce itself was so painful; Deanna is a well-seasoned attorney who has practice family law for a very long time. I honestly took a leap of faith with her. One thing I can say is that Deanna and her legal team really does care for their clients on a personal level. I was treated with dignity and respect even when I was an emotional wreck. In fact, I got everything I wanted in my divorce with the help of Deanna. I am so grateful for this! I will say that yes the firm gets really busy so some of the steps that I took to help my case: - Get organized!!!! - I put all documents in a document protectors and in a binder - I also put sticky notes of events to explain documents - I made 2 copies. One for me, the other for attorney to ensure we both had corresponding documents - I had a character list of all parties involved. I.e.: Karol=my mom etc. - I had a timeline of all the significant events that occurred & typed it out on word DOC. If new situations occurred I revised word doc and resubmitted. Timeline is ex: Summer 2017… Spring 2017. This happened… I am very happy with my decision. If you need a strong attorney who will go above and beyond for you and actually cares about you call the Whitley Law Firm, you will not regret it! This firm is awesome, I feel like they are family!!! -
