Excellent Lawyer!

I agree with another review. Everyone should have Whitney in their corner when going through a divorce or high conflict custody situation. She is quick with responses, prepared and strategic to ensure you have the best outcome. I would highly recommend Whitney and her firm to anyone seeking or needin...g legal help.

Everyone should have a Whitney in their corner!

Whitney has been absolutely amazing! She is straight and to the point, well informed, a great listener, sympathetic to my MANY concerns and ALWAYS made time to answer my questions and alleviate my stresses. Our family custody case has been anything but normal, she didn't flinch at the chaos and rid...iculousness from the opposing party and handled every bit of nastiness with decorum and poise. If I wasn't already a grown up I'd want to be like her when I do!!

Hardworking, Highly Repsonsive Attorney

From the first meeting I had with Whitney, I was comfortable and knew that I would be well taken care of throughout my case. There were several times I would she would contact me in the evenings and on weekends; I was kept informed every step of the way. What should have been a cut and dry case was... far from, but Whitney and her team were well prepared for any and every thing that was thrown their way. I would highly recommend Whitney if you want an attorney that will work with you and be sensitive about your feelings yet firm in getting you to do the right thing.

A stick of dynamite loyalty and experience

By all means do not judge a book by its cover. Attorney Whitney Borgman is tiny and petite but she came to the court room with explosive energy. Ms. Borgman commanded and supported me through a very difficult time. Stop wasting money and time give her a call, I know she'll complete a successful task... .

Posted by Michael | April 22, 2014 | Divorce & Separation

Produced very satisfactory results!

Ms Borgman guided me though my recent divorce and settlement , her communications are prompt and clear. The opposing counsel constantly threw up obstacles and stalling tactics which Ms Borgman handled professionally . Her advice showed her knowledge of my case and and of the legal system. I would... recommend Ms Borgman and her team for any legal matter with confidence of a fair outcome for her clients.. My case was settled to my satisfaction .
