Time to think

Whitney E. Short Esq. provided exceptional representation for my disabled and veteran husband and for myself. Thinking of ‘End of Life’ planning and the treasures and memories we leave to our loved ones is extremely difficult and nobody wants to think about it, however, our journey is inevitable.... So many attorneys are trying to make a quick buck, and to them, this is just paperwork. Not so with Whitney Short. Not so, she was like a family friend that you can trust.

Estate Planning with Ease

I have been meaning to get a trust for years, and it finally happened with the great team at Short & Stevens Law. Whitney Short and her team made the daunting process of doing all the paperwork easy and way less stressful than I thought. They were thorough, helpful, knowledgeable, and affordable. ...I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who needs help with estate planning and more.

Caring, genuine work.

Whitney answered all our questions regarding estate plans and provided us with an efficient plan that met all our needs. She was so friendly and helpful and genuinely cared about our concerns. I could not recommend anyone more than Whitney and her exceptional work.

A Refreshingly Easy Experience with Short & Stevens Law

I’m not usually one for dealing with attorneys or paperwork, but working with Whitney Short was a completely different experience. From the moment I sat down with her, she made everything easy to understand. She took the time to explain every step in plain language, never rushed me, and made sure I f...elt comfortable with each decision. What really stood out to me was how she treated me—not like a client, but like family. She was patient, respectful, and genuinely cared about helping me get everything in order. I walked away feeling confident and at ease, which is something I never expected when dealing with legal matters. Whitney is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly compassionate, and I highly recommend her. She made the whole process simple, and I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me.

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.
