Very disappointing experience — please be careful and ask questions before hiring any Attorney I am extremely disappointed with my experience with this law firm. Before hiring the firm, I had an approximately 40-minute consultation directly with Mr. Wally of Whalley Law PLLC. I explained my divorce situation, my concerns, and what I needed from an attorney. He explained his approach, and I left that conversation believing that he understood my circumstances and that he would represent me in my case. That conversation gave me hope and confidence that I had found the right attorney. Based on my understanding from that consultation, I decided to hire the firm and paid the requested fee. Three days later, I was informed that my case would be assigned to a different attorney. I was extremely disappointed because my decision to hire the firm was based in significant part on my consultation with Mr. Wally and my understanding that he would handle my case. If I had known before paying that another attorney would be assigned to my case, I would have wanted to consider that information before deciding whether to hire the firm. I was also concerned about the level of experience of the attorney who was assigned to me compared with what I had expected when I decided to hire the firm. For me, this is not simply about money. It is about trust, communication, and transparency. When someone is going through a difficult divorce and is paying a substantial amount for legal representation, they should have a clear understanding of who will actually represent them. English is not my first language, and I was already in a vulnerable position because I urgently needed legal representation. That made clear communication particularly important to me. I needed to understand exactly who I was hiring and who would be responsible for my case. My experience left me feeling that my expectations were not clearly addressed before I paid the firm, and the change in attorney shortly afterward seriously damaged my confidence and trust. If you are considering hiring this firm, I strongly recommend getting everything in writing before paying. Ask: • Is the attorney I am consulting with going to personally represent me? • Who will actually be responsible for my case? • Can my case be reassigned to another attorney after I pay? • What experience does the assigned attorney have with my type of case? • What happens to my retainer if the attorney I expected to represent me does not handle the case? I am sharing my experience so that other people, especially anyone who may be in a vulnerable situation or who may have difficulty communicating in English, can ask these questions before making a financial commitment. I believe every client deserves clear information about who they are hiring and who will actually handle their case.

I cannot recommend Mitzi Lowe enough, I feel like she answered every question and honestly kept it real with me through the whole process. She stuck up for me when needed and fought to get me every dollar possible. She always kept me in the loop on everything going on and I cannot thank her enough!!

I found Whalley Law to be experienced, knowledgeable, and sympathetic to my needs. They took my case when a couple other law firms wouldn't. They walked me through every step of the process, and they left the decision to settle in my hands. Paralegal Mitzi went above and beyond in staying on top of deadlines, keeping me informed, and negotiating payouts to make sure most of the pain and suffering money went to the person who experienced the pain and suffering - me! Highly recommended! 👍👍👍

If I could give 0 stars, I would. This place is very unprofessional. I set up a consultation, gave them all my information and everything, and on the day of the appointment, nobody called me. I called multiple times throughout the day until someone finally picked up the phone in the afternoon, just to be told that I wasn’t scheduled at all. The lady who answered the phone seemed to get upset toward the end because I couldn’t hear her clearly the call kept cutting out or there seemed to be an issue with the phone connection. You would think you’d be speaking with professionals, but it doesn’t seem that way. Just go somewhere else.

I worked with Whalley Law on a protection order case and had a good overall experience. Karl Verzani represented me and he was calm, definitely not as stressed and nervous as I was, and he was just prepared and very clear in how he handled things. There were a few errors early on , on my declaration, but to their defense we had to RUSH to submit it because I had hired them pretty late and there was a deadline, but everything was corrected and handled professionally. Overall I am satisfied and would hire them again and probably will need to hire them again in December….KARL VERZANI IS AN O.G (mic drop) -Albert Neris

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for their unwavering support and guidance throughout my divorce process. From the very beginning, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and dedication. They were consistently clear, communicative, and thorough at every step, making a difficult time much more manageable. I always felt informed, heard, and supported, which made all the difference during such a challenging transition. I truly appreciate the time, effort, and care they invested in helping me navigate this process, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and reliable legal team.

• David

I was very disappointed I worked with David on their team. Very nice and professional I will say. However, I was a single mom divorcing an abusive husband where I paid all the bills and mortgage. I wanted to keep my house for my kids since I also used my money to buy and paid the mortgage. I told David I needed someone to stand up for me because I have no backbone with my ex and his mother. I paid him $10,000. During the divorce mediation David spent the whole time in an online court case. I got completely mangled and now am in a horrible financial situation stuck with ALL the debt and forced to sell my house. My ex will also get majority of the proceeds from the house even though I had to also pay for ALL the repairs and the sell of the house because my ex REFUSED to work. At the end of the mediation David said “well we have a case to take to trial but the starting cost will be $30,000”. Ya no thanks.
