This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Awesome Job...

My apology for this late review... Mr.Whalen was recommended by a friend and we went to see him in his office. From the beginning he is very very precise and specific of what paperwork's needed to get my daughter to become a US citizen. He didn't make it hard and everything is clear with how he will... explain how it works. His communication is very very prompt and he answers every questions all the way...He accompany my daughter to the interview and on October 2016 my daughter took an Oath and gotten her Us Citizenship. Thank you so much for your help in my daughter to be in the safest place in the World...

Immigration lawyer | Jun 13

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known David for the past 12 years as a fellow lawyer in the community and he was instrumental in the launch of my own law firm. From initial support with his deep knowledge of Immigration and criminal law, through practical advice of being a lawyer, he was always there when I needed him. He is one of the best legal writers I have known. His legal briefs are perfect and he is excellent in the court room. I often refer my complex cases to him to this day. But aside from being a great lawyer, he is a great human being first. He often helps the needy and is interested in many things outside the law. He is a true reflection what a great lawyer should be and I am honored to call him a friend and a fellow member of the Bar."
