When my father died I contacted John. I was in the most frantic state of my life. John gently went over the estate laws. He assured me that my family could not be put out on the street. He advised me step by step to a miraculous outcome. Everyone walked away happy and we didn't get thrown out on the street. I suggest him to all my friends when they need legal assistance. In situations such as death you need someone who is sympathetic as well as knowledgeable. John has all of those qualities.

He completed our wills and power of attorney efficiently and effectively in a short period of time and we were able to settle our mother's estate with no problems. We have recommended him to several friends.

John has been a Godsend to the family, handling a very emotionally-draining estate administration for a disabled surviving spouse. He has been extremely patient. He provides more than basic legal services; he's been extremely helpful and super-patient, even providing a shoulder for her to cry on when the going gets extra tough, and can approach sometimes-difficult family members with apparent ease. John was the perfect selection for the family's needs, and I would gladly recommend him.
Private Individual
John is very responsive and answers calls in a timely manner. He is always professional and comforting.

Mr. Whalen was sincerely caring and offered appropriate counsel. He made himself available outside of office hours during a trying time. I would recommend him to anyone without reservation.
