Speedy and always accurate
Atty. Whitbeck is a very knowledgeable, patient, kind and communicates very well. She's helped me and so many others with her concise, yet thorough responses to the legal questions asked on here. I haven't hired her personally bc I actually didn't need an attorney for my specific case but based on he...

Complicated situation
While I do not know Ms. Whitbeck personally or professionally, I was able to have some of my questions answered by her. My custody/child support situation is a very complex one, with many factors involved as well as emotions. I appreciate the bluntness to which her responses consistently portrayed, m...
It's reviews like this that prevent attorneys from participating on this forum, or only giving comments like, "You need to consult an attorney." How many attorneys bothered to give you ANY advice? Sure, my advice was very direct. But you need to know that the legal arena and court process have zero "patience and empathy" which is why I feel it is more important for people to understand the reality of their situation and options.

Very judgemental and rude!!!!
If I could give her no stars I would have..her response was very inconsiderate and rude I asked a question pertaining to child support and she responded. She came to some conclusion about how I should make more than a certain amount of money at this point in my life.. When that wasn't even my questio...
My response, based on the question and facts that were posted, was entirely accurate and can be reviewed by anyone who wishes to do so. The post was about how minimum wage imputation worked as between CA and NV, as the poster did not feel it was fair to have CA minimum wage imputed when living in NV as NV minimum wage is lower. It is truly unfortunate that people seeking free legal advice . . . where very few attorneys even bother to respond . . . cannot appreciate that the advice given is limited by the facts presented. It is not intended to be judgmental, but to explain how the legal system would view the situation as described. Further, this kind of site is not a substitute for consulting with an attorney to review your court orders and specific situation and circumstances, and was never intended to be such a substitute. It is because of narrow-minded and hostile reviews like this that so very few attorneys answer questions on this site. I ask you poster: How many attorneys answered your post? And how many gave you any real information beyond "you need to consult with an attorney?"
