Kevin Carson Whitacre

Kevin Whitacre at The Valley Law Group is an outstanding attorney. When my previous legal team abandoned my case just three weeks before mediation, Kevin stepped in and worked tirelessly to get up to speed. He took the time to understand my situation, communicated clearly, and gave me honest advice—e...ven when it wasn’t easy to hear. His professionalism and empathy made a difficult process manageable. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney.

I hired Kevin Whitacre to protect my rights as a father, but his negligence led to devastating consequences: 1. Missed Statutory Deadline: Whitacre FAILED to file the Petition to Establish Paternity within the legally mandated timeframe. This oversight led to the court dismissing my paternity act...ion, effectively terminating my legal standing as a father. 2. ​Inadequate Oversight: Whitacre relied on his paralegal to manage critical deadlines without proper supervision. This lack of diligence directly resulted in the late filing and subsequent LOSS of my parental rights.​ Due to these errors, I was excluded from any involvement in my child's life, and the adoption proceeded without my consent. This outcome has caused immense emotional pain and permanently severed my relationship with my child. ​I strongly caution any parent seeking legal assistance to avoid Kevin Whitacre. His negligence can lead to life-altering consequences, as it did in my case. My case here: Cox v. Hon.

Kevin made a big sale in the first consultation, as to how he would be a perfect fit to me against my narcissistic husband. Yet, the outcome of my divorce was not favorable for me in any way. If your husband abused you, Kevin won’t know how to protect you. I would NOT recommend if you have a highly ...contested divorce.

I’m writing this with tears in my eyes. This is the first Christmas that I spend without my children because I lost custody to my children due to Kevin representing me. I warn and urge everyone to look at the other reviews as to how poor his representation is and how vulnerable you’ll be in family co...urt with Kevin representing you. I can’t go back in time and choose another divorce attorney, I’ve already lost my children. But what I can do is share my honest testimony, so at least I can prevent others from having the same fate I did.
