This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent vision

Mr. Whittenberg did a remarkable job planning a very complicated multigenerational family business which required over ten years to complete. It's been 2 years since my children and grandchildren took over and they've been able to build on what I started in ways that wouldn't have been possible wit...hout Mr. Whittenberg's insight and tenacious influence to convection me to do the planning. I'm grateful for his guidance.
