Mark did an outstanding job in negotiating a better severance package for me when I left corporate life. He quickly understood what I was looking for and was clear, direct and effective in doubling the value of my severance. Also a pleasure to work with.

I hired Mark to guide me through a separation settlement with a former employer. Due to the nature of my job, I interact with different lawyers on regular basis, and I have worked with some of the best out there. So I reached out to few, and I must say that I was not impressed, till I spoke to Mark. Just few minutes into the conversation, Mark was able to fully assess the situation, and discuss some options with me. He is extremely bright, tenacious, and very accessible despite his very busy schedule. Mark advice and approach were very sound and was happy with the outcome. His honesty, integrity, and work ethic are a rare breed in this business.

I reached out to Mark at the suggestion of a family member when I was worried that my employment of almost 19 years was possibly going to end due to a restructuring. I was able to make good decisions with his advice before, during and after my the eventual loss of my job. He assisted in consultation, review, and feedback on all of my interactions with my former employer critically during the severance package review. I would strongly suggest working with Mark as he was a true professional providing me the information and confidence I needed. I will surely recommend him to any other friends or family members from the Greater Boston, North Shore and Merrimack Valley if they should need legal services. He made me feel brave, empowered and supported during a really difficult time in my professional life.

I hired Mr. Whitney in the spring on 2017 and he was instrumental in helping me get back to work as quickly as possible! His sense of urgency with my situation, his responsiveness and professionalism confirmed that I made the right decision in hiring him!

As General Counsel for a company with nearly 1000 employees, we do occasionally need the help of a very experienced employment lawyer. Mark has counseled us numerous times on many issues, including new hires where we are dealing with non-competes from prior companies, difficult employees, hearings before the MCAD and much more. He is a consummate professional, easy to work with, and provides sound advice. I highly recommend him.

Mark Whitney is hands down the best non-compete attorney that I have experienced. I was a Vice President at a manufacturing company and I had an "iron clad" non-compete contract. I was trying to leave my employer to start my own business. I consulted with several attorneys and all of them were in agreement that I had no chance of getting out of this non-compete contract. I was referred to Mark Whitney from an investment banker that wanted to fund my startup business. After my consultation with Mark ... I knew I found the right lawyer to represent me. I quit my job and I hired Mark. He performed a miracle! I had a full release from my former employer in less than four weeks! I absolutely recommend Mark Whitney.

It's rare to find an attorney/firm that actually cares about the outcome, vs. just trying to settle the litigation. Mark was referred to me by my corporate counsel and the best employment lawyer around. They were right. From the initial encounter to hours and hours of preparation time, to the sit down with the other sides law firm, he was tenacious in his pursuit of the best possible end result. And, he out argued the facts that their side was too lazy to discover, which cost them in the end, quite a bit of money in the settlement. My company(s) and I owe him a lot as a result.

Mark partnered with my firm to help me fight my non compete lawsuit. He was a thorough dedicated professional. I just completed my 10th anniversary at the workplace he helped me stay my helping me win the unreasonable lawsuit.
