The Best!!

Stephanie represented me in a DUI Hit and Run. She was very informative and represented me in the best way possible. Her communication with me was paramount. I was very pleased with both her service and the outcome of my case. I feel that with her representation I have received the best outcome possi...ble. I highly recommend her if you are in need of legal representation.

Title

Stephanie the entire time made me feel like I was walking through my experience with a partner by my side. She is insightful, helpful, caring, and a force in the courtroom. I would highly recommend everyone reach out to Stephanie. She works aside you and keeps you informed and involved every step of ...the way.

Great Laywer

Stephanie recently represented me in a case. I was looking at DOC time and the Prosecutor in the case was new and looking to make an example out of me. She was looking for a conviction with penitentiary time behind it. Stephanie worked hard for me and was prepared every step of the way. What ...I like most about Stephanie is that she is honest and is a straight shooter. She fought tooth and nail for me as I was charged with over 14 charges and ended up with a plea deal for two! Instead of jail I was able to go to a halfway house and keep my job I have been at for 4 years and still provide for my family. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone! Not only did she represent me well as my Defense Attorney, a very close friend of mine also hired her and he had a favorable outcome as well!

Beware

Several years ago I selected Stephanie Whalum for a case the I was involved as the defendant, and she was a public defender. However, I should have kept the public defender who was appointed to me. Stephanie Whalum resembled a prosecutor in my case instead of a defense attorney. At the time, there we...re two cases (same circumstances in different courts). The other defense attorney had similar characteristics as Stephanie Whalum, but she acted as a defense attorney and that case ended well. Recently, I read the statement from my accuser who lied profusely, yet everyone believed my accuser. Stephanie Whalum never told me what my accuser stated. Had I known about the false statements and the severity of convictions then I would have demanded a trial or paid for an attorney. I asked Stephanie Whalum to take my case to trial. However, she opposed a trial likely due to the false statements from my accuser that she likely believed. She stated that it was due to a trial that she lost with another client. At the time, I was a novice of the judicial system. In hindsight, Stephanie Whalum did not try to defend me. Unaware of convictions and their impact, I was convicted of the severest convictions in their class that were misapplied, and the convictions have stripped me of many privileges that affect my livelihood.

Great Lawyer

My name is Elvin and Ms. Whalum represented me on a legal matter and I can personally say she is the best lawyer I've ever had or seen period. I went to trial and was found not guilty on all charges. I highly recommend Ms. Whalum because you will not regret it.
