TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

Wendy Whiteman and the staff are excellent. I retained the practice for elder planning & Medicaid approval and placement during a parental crisis. The team, Wendy, Zach, and Patty did their job with professionalism, deep background knowledge & so much care. My initial contact was Zach Wheeler, he is responsive, knowledgeable & caring. Patty, Medicaid specialist, walked me through so many complexities with patience and kindness and a wonderful sense of humor. The staff continue to be available for questions even after Medicaid approval & placement. I will always be grateful for their counsel and support.

Jennifer Davis Highly Recommend

Wendy Whiteman and her team were extremely helpful in aiding my handicapped sister in her fight for Medicaid services. Wendy spent over an hour on the phone with us, gathered pertinent facts and reviewed legal documents. She was able to explain and guide us thru the complicated Medicaid process. She was kind, encouraging and wise. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing legal help and advice.

Becky Drake Highly Recommend

I am a little delinquent in posting this review. I had a complimentary phone session with Attorney Whiteman on 2/13/25. She was compassionate and thorough. She listened to my concerns about my dad's potential Medicaid journey, along with some nursing home liability concerns. I appreciated her willingness to share information while engaging me, also. Unfortunately, my father passed away 3 days later, but I will always remember how kind and receptive Attorney Whiteman was. THANK YOU!

Dawn Conner Highly Recommend

Thank you so much, Zach, Patty and Wendy.! Without the help of this law firm, I would’ve never been able to negotiate the requirements of obtaining Medicaid for a relative.. They are very patient, thorough, and responsive. All my questions were answered clearly and promptly. I would definitely use them again. Great job guys!

Steven Blair Highly Recommend

Wendy and her staff are the best! They make it easy for those families needing to map and work out financial plans. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Use Wendy… you won’t regret your decision.

LaToya Davis Highly Recommend

What my mom and I did on behalf of my dad would have been virtually impossible without Wendy and her amazing staff. Honestly I wouldn't have even known where to start. I don't think I can truly put into words what her and her office and staff meant to my mother and myself when we were in dire need of assistance. I deffinetly recommend Wendy and the services she provides!

Tim Buck Highly Recommend

Wendy helped me tremendously with estate planning for my family member. Not only was she my attorney, she showed me care and respect as I went through a tumultuous time. I am so grateful for her professionalism and knowledge of the law. She always got back with me when I had questions and I appreciated her patience in explaining things regarding my particular case. The staff at Wendy Whiteman Law was always available to help me with preparing documents. Wendy gets a 10+ from me. She takes care of business! I would use her services again and I would recommend her to my friends and family.

Beverly Johnson Highly Recommend

Wendy did an amazing helping my brother and I maneuver through the Medicaid process and estate planning. She and her staff were extremely helpful and walked us through every step of the process.

Laura Owen Highly Recommend

I am so thankful for Whitman Law Firm. I want to send a personal thanks to Wendy, Ashley, Zach and Melissa for everything that they have done, they were truly tremendous and amazing and went above and beyond for myself my family and most definitely for my father. We hired them to help us with our elderly father and they were truly way more than what we expected and I can't thank W.W. Law firm enough, five stars is not enough for how great this law firm is and I would recommend it over a million times thank you so much.

Yolanda Clark Highly Recommend

Ms.Whiteman was a great help for me with my dad. She knows her stuff and it didn’t take her long to do what was necessary. She was a Blessing.

Debra Leonard Highly Recommend

I worked with Wendy and Zach recently to do some estate planning for my parents and wow what a team! They are so knowledgeable and super fast to respond and get things done. Especially through such a tough time I really appreciate their professionalism and kindness to answer all of our questions and make us very comfortable through the process. Zach is actually with GreatWorth on the education side of things(?) but he works very well with Wendy and also was able to offer us his notary services at the end! Super super experience.

Cindy Highly Recommend

Wendy is awesome, I recently needed her services dealing with a Power of Attorney for my mother, and Medicaid/Trust issues with another family member. She basically walked me through the challenging legal process and helped me make fully informed decisions. Wendy is a class and excellence personified.

Joel Lavender Highly Recommend

Mrs. Whiteman is kind, professional and VERY knowledgeable in her field. I had the pleasure of working with her on estate planning for my mother. I'd initially considered one document (T.O.D.D.) but she took me in a different direction that is 100% better for everyone involved. It is very imperative that we take care of things like this in advance with a competent and experienced attorney. I would highly recommend the services of Wendy Whiteman Law!
