Amazing attorney!

Caring, kind, honest and helpful!!! This is the attorney I will hire when and if I need one! She walked me through fear and confusion. She explained things to me and made a game plan with me. She did not try to fear monger me into hiring her prematurely! Much respect for this attorney. She has also a...llowed me to contact her and ask questions. Thanks Andrea!

Bankruptcy Help

Facing Divorce and Bankruptcy at the same time was one of the most difficult times of my life and Andrea made the journey less painful for me, listening to my story, answering all my questions and making me feel better about the whole situation.

what a GREAT attorney and staff

After consulting with various attorneys I knew after my consultation with Andrea Whitehill that I would immediately retain her services. She took her time with me and never made me feel rushed, answered all of my questions, provided me with loads of information and help. Throughout my divorce/custody... battle, she was there with me EVERY step of the way with great success. I have never dealt with an attorney that is not only as respectful and professional as Andrea Whitehill but she is also compassionate and understanding. The office has always welcomed my emails and phone calls and have always attended to me right away. Janine works in the office and is such an asset to the team at the Law Office of Andrea Whitehill! 5 out of five stars!!! Highly recommend!

  • 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.
