I was Heard

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Amanda and her team. Amanda was sent from heaven and I will always be thankful to her. Words cannot express everything Amanda did and continues to do. Amanda was compassionate and extremely professional. She was a great leader and always kept me up to d...ate with all I was supposed to know. Amanda taught me so much in how to stand for myself and believing in what is right. If there was a higher rating Amanda would definitely deserve it. She stood up for me against plaintiffs attorney and like I stated she was extremely professional. I highly recommend Amanda. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Amanda. Thank you in abundance for believing in me.

Amazing Attorney

If Amanda Whitten can handle me, she can handle anybody! I was in a very stressful and challenging situation, and Amanda went above and beyond every step of the way. She showed incredible patience and professionalism, making sure I understood the process clearly and addressing every concern I had wit...h care. Amanda was always available, responsive, and proactive, which gave me so much peace of mind during such a tough time. Her expertise, especially in employment law, was evident throughout my case. I can’t say enough how amazing she is! From helping me prepare for depositions to keeping me informed about what to expect next, Amanda was there, making sure I was never surprised or caught off guard. I felt fully confident with her in my corner, and I knew I was in the best hands. She truly stood up to the opposing attorney with strength and composure, which was so reassuring. If you’re looking for a fierce advocate who genuinely cares about her clients and their outcomes, Amanda Whitten is the one you need.

Highly Satisfied with this firm

Amanda responded to my inquiry right away. Her firm made the documentation gathering really easy. She told me what to expect in deposition and that helped tremendously. Her knowledge in employment law made me feel at ease. She was always quick to respond to my emails. I was glad that I had a good... attorney who knew what to expect and who stood up to the company’s attorney. Highly satisfied with this firm.

Still in Shock

I had never been in a position to need an attorney, so I was at a complete loss on what to do or the process it would entail. I was scared, nervous, and feeling hopeless. I googled an attorney that might be able to help me with my employer troubles. As luck would have it- I found Amanda Whitten. I em...ailed her and she responded quickly. This set the president on our entire time together. She not only put me at ease, she gave me hope! Amanda is AMAZING at what she does! She is direct, communicative, easy to talk to, and was always able to answer any questions I had to help guide me through this difficult process. With Amanda, I got the best possible experience of a terrible situation. She was extremely knowledgeable. My previous employer had a tough team of lawyers at their disposal. This did not deter her at all. It was like she was able to envision everything prior to it happening. She made sure she got all the facts and evidence there was. Long story short- Amanda was able give me the peace I needed. I pray I am never in that situation again, but if so- I know who I will be calling!

  • 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.
