Very thoughtful, thinks outside the box.

Consulted with Mr. Whitaker on an issue that seemed insoluble. He understood and analysed the situation fully and had a very thoughtful solution. Moreover, he came up with a Plan B, just in case. Fortunately, and thankfully, I did not need Plan B. Clearly, a very resourceful attorney who I would rea...dily recommend.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
