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.
