Did a great job!

I went to Whitney for my estate planning and she did a great job. She took the time to figure out my needs and helped me through the very daunting process. In the end, it wasn't as bad as I thought and I shouldn't have put it off. She was great!

Posted by Dawn | November 02, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Highly recommend

Originally hired Whitney about employee/contract issues and she is very knowledgable and her response time to questions is quick. We continue to use Whitney on retainer and have worked with two other lawyers in this firm have been extremely satisfied.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
