When I decided to leave my husband I was a new mom caring for my 5 week old baby, out of work on maternity leave, had never been married before-hadn’t been married for long and was absolutely TERRIFIED to be at home with my newborn and an abusive husband; so I fled the state to go home to be with my ...family. My ex husband is forceful, powerful and aggressive man who has access to plenty of money and is seasoned in divorce. To say I had let my open heart and trust get me into a VERY BAD situation was an understatement, words cannot begin to describe how paralyzed I felt with fear. I was petrified to ever face him again, but I had to fight for the safety and well being of my baby. I was only gone for days before my ex threatened to take away my son with his expensive “prominent” attorney. It was the lowest darkest part of my life, but as a mother I knew I had to protect my son at all costs. My father reached out to The Law Offices of Vance and Whitley. After my first conversation with Cait (my case manager/paralegal) I felt like someone genuinely understood how afraid I was and believed in me as a mother and as a woman. Cait sincerely listened and has held my hand through the whole process. Whether it was comforting me on the phone, meeting me up to pick up paperwork so I wouldn’t be alone, texting me to see how I was doing that day, giving me tips on new motherhood, letting me use her office as my personal storage unit, the list goes on and on. I needed help and Mrs. Whitley and Cait’s strength, compassion and experience were the reasons I could find my voice again. But most of all, it was their sincere love for children and the well being of my child and his safety that mattered to me the most. As someone who has never needed law representation before in my life, I can tell you through my experience that it is so important for your sanity to find a law firm that you know will go to war for you and Vance and Whitley is that firm. Mrs. Whitley was always totally prepared and her professionalism and respect for the courtroom and the law did not go unnoticed with the judge. 6 months later and my ex husbands’ parental rights are terminated, which was the first time in the 30+ years, my judge had made that ruling. What I wanted seemed almost impossible to achieve at times, but Mrs. Whitley never wavered and her determination and hard work got me the second chance at the life I deserve. If you are unfortunate enough to be in a similar situation to mine stop looking for another lawyer now and call Vance and Whitley!

There is hope in life after Divorce!!!! I had been divorced for 3 years, 2000 miles away from home (ex-military wife) with two children. However, the bullying and the scare tactics that i felt from my ex and his new wife just keep getting worst and there was nothing I could do anything about OR SO I ...THOUGHT. When I was referred to them I was scared, frustrated and I never felt more alone. But that soon changed, after hiring Vance and Whitley they made me realize I had rights and the right to defend against that behavior. Now I’m not saying that it isn’t stressful but that comes with the process in any custody issue they just made the process and the stress from it much easier to handle. They were there every step of the way, I never felt like JUST a client, but more like my family was there helping me. They also truly listen to you, direct you in the right direction with all communication that was between my ex -husband, his wife and I. This was huge for me I was known for just giving in just so I didn’t have to deal with the fights and drama which never works out that and only adds to the problems because before I hired V&W if I said no ever about anything it was WW3…..However, By the day of court I had enough strength, knowledge and confidence to go in and do what I never had been able to do before, and that was stand up for my right as a mother and the rights of my children. This team is full of amazing, honest people with moral values that sincerely care about you! I never felt like just a customer….NEVER!!!!! I could never thank them enough… Especially Cait, Loni and Deanna these women are more amazing then I could ever express. They gave me my life back!

miss Whitley and her team were very very responsive excellent choice for an attorney she help me with my custody case to win to get my grandchildren! through CPS very rough rugged road but we made it and again she was very calm cool and collective continued to work hard even know CPS derailed a few t...imes bumps in our road CPS made this a rough time for me I swear it was very calm and soothing when we spoke I want to thank her team for all their effort and for being there and just listening sometimes when I vented and ranted and raved about nothing ....excellent choice don't hesitate and don't think about it just do it you won't be sorry

Seems like she don't really care about my case. She never clearly explained all legal processes. It was impossible to reach her by phone, email or in person. I wouldn't say she won my case, I was left with nothing basically. In her mind my case was a winner. I didn't get what I ask for and left every...thing to my Ex. She missed some information about joint account and now I have to come back to court to resolve my issue with Ex. Her services was too expensive for the result I received.

First, Cait, Ms. Whitley’s partner, is an extraordinary and giving person. She has a heart of gold and I couldn’t have made it through my brutal divorce without her. I cannot say the same for Ms. Whitley. From the beginning she belittled me for being emotional and weak, during a time when, yes..., I absolutely felt emotional and weak. But I didn’t deserve to be yelled at, hung up on, and made to feel even more wretched. Aside from that, the main problem was lack of preparation and communication. I could have done a bulk of that preparation, but her one job was to guide me and let me know what she needed in order to win my case. I know now what I needed to do but, having never gone though this experience before, I didn’t know then. That’s her job. That’s what she gets paid for and that didn’t happen.
