Ms. Chelnik returned phone calls and emails promptly. She guided me through the divorce process so that I felt confident about the decisions I was making. I like that she is pro "Collaborative Divorce", which has helped us as parents to remain on friendlier terms for the benefit of our child.

Whitney was excellent at brainstorming and coming up with non-orthodox solutions that took into account my unique situation and my personality. Great quick thinker. She was always positive and emotionally supportive through those challenging times. Whitney was great at educating me and answering my multiple questions (even silly ones) with exemplary patience.

Ms Whitney Chelnik is the best lawyer I have ever known . Her prompt and perfection service is great appreciated.

I retained Whitney several years ago and for various reasons did not go through with my divorce. I recently contacted her again to finally continue and finalize the process. She and her assistant, Lisa, were so gracious, patient and accommodating. I knew I was in good hands and had made the right choice. I could never thank them enough.

I was referred to Whitney by a friend from Short Hills in the Finance industry who had switched to Whitney in the midst of his divorce. Whitney demonstrated an effortless understanding of both the financial and legal sides of my case and worked tirelessly to protect my assets from an unrealistic, greedy, and illogical erstwhile wife. Not only was she fluent in finance and divorce law, she was incredibly empathetic and was able to "talk me of the ledge" from the frequent irrational and criminal behavior of my ex. I don't know how she did it, but she was always available when I needed her.

While this may seem odd, this is the second time I had to use Whitney's services in less than three years. She delivered above expectations on both cases. Whitney is not only very knowledgeable about family law, but she also understood well my priorities; by teaming together we laid out a strategy that allowed securing the best financial outcome realistically possible. And if you are lucky you may get a little discount on your final bill! I would recommend this attorney to friends - but keep her contact secret from any prospective or current spouse. You want Whitney on your side, not the opposite...

Whitney was great! She is smart and has great negotiation skills. She knows when to be strong and tough and when to use her charm to be persuasive and make her points. She also won’t over negotiate the case in order to get her billable hours up. I highly recommend her!

Whitney and her team are very responsive and professional throughout my divorce, which made this painful process as painless as it could be. All my questions and inquiries were responded within several hours. When it was needed to make late calls, Whitney was always accommodating. She is knowledgable about matrimonial law and very patient to explain things to me. She and her team are also honest about the billing hours. I am glad I chose her as my lawyer and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a honest and capable attorney.

Whitney provided me with the most comprehensive representation. She provided a clear and concise interpretation to unfamiliar legal jargon as well as made solid recommendations in which I was able to make informed decisions.

I have had Whitney handle my divorce & post-divorce cases for several years now. She is very ethical and always focuses on my children's well being. She is committed to family law and understands the nuances of my case. Her strategies, in the long run, prove out to be the right ones and successful ones. Whitney is very responsive with questions and gives it to you straight. If you hire Whitney, your case is in very good hands, especially with a difficult case as mine was.

I hired Mrs. Chelnik to assist in my divorce settlement. With children involved and an ex that was not properly prepped for what was to come in the divorce proceedings, Whitney was able to deftly handle every aspect of the case. She is a complete professional was able to handle my case with confidence and ease. Most importantly she was able to listen and advocate for my wishes, set my expectations properly, and humble me when necessary. She's a great advocate, highly recommended.

Whitney Chelnik is the BEST! I went through 2 attorneys during my divorce that i had negative experiences with. So when i was looking was taking my ex wife back to court to have my alimony stopped i did much more research for the right attorney. I found Whitney, and i could not be happier. She is compassionate, super intelligent, and as tough as it gets in the court room. Her follow up was exceptional. Any one who has been through these kinds of things, know the anxiety that goes along with waiting to hear back from your attorney. I never experienced that with Whitney! Every time i called or emailed i would always hear back from her that day. Its an easy decision if your looking for an attorney to be on your side and work with you, its Whitney Chelnik.
