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.

Through the worst times of our lives, Deanna and her Team have been present for my family. The Firm quickly adapted to serving their clientele safely during a pandemic, so as not to delay necessary action. They are responsive to voicemail and email communication in a timely manner. They are acti...ve listeners who really hear what you are trying to say, but might be having a hard time getting it out due to emotions of the situation. Deanna is especially creative with problem-solving to meet individual child needs to aide them in flourishing during a tumultuous time. Just when you think you’ve thought of everything to help your children, Deanna thinks of more ways to help them be their best selves, focusing and fighting diligently to protect their rights. The Firm has also graciously worked out a payment agreement, helpful during a time of financial adjustment. This Firm’s dedication to the mission of creating happy homes is the reason there is peace and joy in our home today. Top notch legal representation!

I retained Ms. Whitley and her team to represent me in a contested divorce in which the proposed settlements were very far apart. She was very effective in presenting our position to the court as fair and reasonable, and as a result the orders were very close to what I sought. Her team is meticulous... in filing documents and ensuring the evidence is clear and concise. She very knowledgeable in her field, has a tremendous team assisting her, and tries to settle with a fair proposal rather than drag the matter into court. She was also able to assuage my concerns when I became concerned about potential negative outcomes. Thanks to the entire firm for all of their support during this difficult time. I give her my highest recommendation!

I interviewed a wealth of attorneys as I sought to divorce a very manipulative and abusive man. It was going to be critical for me to find a smart, fearless and experienced team that would also relate to me in both a direct, yet compassionate manner. I had done plenty homework on what to expect in ...a quality attorney, but still felt befuddled at whatever legal future events loomed ahead. I interviewed and by-passed a number before finding Attorney Whitley. I set my intentions on checking out Attorney Whitley, realizing that an attorney is only as powerful and competent as her team. What a team! My first encounter was an intake interview with one of her staff. By the time I finished clarifying my case, needs and concerns while also listening to responses and information given me, I felt at great ease. If this team member truly represented the essence of the Whitley Law Firm, I knew this should be my choice. By the end of my intake interview, I felt heard, regarded and well positioned. I felt I had possibly found the team to do this critical life-impacting work for me. My next step was to then meet Attorney Whitley. I was understandably nervous for I wanted this to work, based on what I had already experienced. Still, I recognized that she had to be that one complex piece of the legal puzzle, offering a glove-snug fit. Before meeting Attorney Whitley, her receptionist greeted me with a calm that I took effort to note. If her demeanor was indicative of an overriding welcoming and confident team spirit, then this was likely to be another great experience. I was led into Attorney Whitley’s office and shared my case. Neither pushing nor shoving, she queried and commented in a manner that helped hone my delivery, astutely revealing specifics of my need. Attorney Whitley took time to listen intently, as if I were her only. Her cool, competent demeanor was empowering. She responded in specifics to my case, never disrespectfully lending to general conveyor-belt assessment. She possessed a grit signaling that she would not be tampered with – and neither would her clients be. How I needed someone who would know how to turn up the heat and fight for me, if warranted. With zero reservation, I decided that Attorney Whitely and her team would represent me. In the months that followed, I interfaced with one of her highly expert paralegal staff. I respected her manner for we were able to address finer details in direct nature without wasting time or needless back and forth communications. I never felt any "stone left unturned" and my every query was swiftly and professionally addressed. Time came for the mediation – done via Zoom due to COVID. That’s when I met Attorney Dallas Olsen. Groundwork astutely done by para-legal, Dallas now worked with me in live virtual online forum. The best way for me to describe her competence is to say it plainly. Attorney Dallas “kicked butt”! I watched her discuss and pen my case like a champ for me. By the time all was done, I was indeed awarded what I had hoped. I attributed this to the thorough work of Attorney Olsen. She later accompanied me into the judge’s chamber to conclude the divorce. It comforted me to see this titan of a woman once again representing me. Her calming, no-nonsense demeanor reassured me that every “jot and tittle” of the law would be addressed – and it was. Lastly, my interfaces with the financial staff of Attorney Whitley’s firm were all positive, swift and exact. I always knew where I stood financially. That was important to me for it was critical to be able to govern my funds with certainty. I most highly recommend Attorney Deanne Whitley and her efficacious “A” Team to anyone needing hefty legal representation. They absolutely deliver!

After being attacked by false accusations by my angry stalker soon to be ex husband and completely neglected and robbed of my entire life savings from my first lawyer, Deanna stepped in and cleaned up a mess that most people would not want to deal with. Not only did she get the current lawyer Roger S...tephens, who had stolen $7k retainer and refused to allow me to fire him, she also was able to write a custody agreement that was fair and in the best interest of my child. Deanna and Kat are professional, organized, and help put your mind at ease during a very stressful time. It was clear that she was a respected lawyer in the court room. She is honest, fair, and understanding. I highly recommend hiring her for a high intensity custody case.
