After many years of working with a an attorney whom I assumed was the benchmark standard of excellence, I was finally proven wrong. Disappointing results from my attorney with whom I maintained a multi year relationship with. I took a chance and inquired about a particular matter through the Quatela Chimeri firm. Their response was confident and reassuring enough for me to retain Mr. Whiteman for my custody matter. The case was complicated, with multiple turns, and snags along the way, however Mr. Whiteman handled the process with professionalism, and conviction. I learned that although one may not appreciate the immediate short term dynamics of the case, Mr. Whiteman convinced me to "Trust the process" and place my faith in his ability. A comment I will never forget, as it proved to be accurate. It was Mr. Whiteman's tactic, and overall commitment to winning and remaining true to the process that resulted in a victory for my case. My family is in a much better, more stable place today as a result of the hard work and tireless efforts of Mr. Whiteman, and the entire Quatela Chimeri firm. Using them was a very smart decision, and a choice I would advocate to anyone in need of competent marital law assistance.

After 4 years of being passed around attorney to attorney, losing all hope in settling my case, I was blessed to have John step in. He was very attentive, listened to my concerns, kept me in the loop every step of the way, was honest and always kept his word. What others couldn’t do in years, John accomplished in just months for me. I am beyond thankful and would recommend John to everyone. I can now move forward and leave my past behind all thanks to him. Happy and grateful for everything he has done!

I hired Mr. Whiteman as counsel for my divorce case. From the onset of our working relationship, he was very professional, highly knowledgeable and a great advisor to a case that was made complicated as a result of the opposing party (my former husband). On numerous occasions, we needed to show firmness in our stance with the opposing party and Mr Whiteman was a strong advocate fighting for my rights consistently and fairly, yet still maintained the case as amicable as possible to avoid further legal complications and settle out of court. Mr Whiteman was very responsive to any questions or issues I had during the case, and explained thoroughly each step of the way. I appreciated him keeping me in the loop for any correspondence with opposing counsel. I would highly recommend Mr Whiteman for any legal matter that is handled by him.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal representation I received from John Whiteman. Going through a divorce is undoubtedly one of the most challenging experiences, especially when kids are involved, and having a dedicated and empathetic attorney by my side made all the difference. John not only demonstrated a profound understanding of family law but also exhibited a tenacious spirit in fighting for my rights and interests. From the initial consultation, in which i was totally Scared, to the final resolution, he provided unwavering support, strategic guidance, and a level of commitment that exceeded my expectations. John navigated the complexities of my case with precision and diligence, ensuring that every detail was addressed and every avenue explored. John communicated openly and honestly, keeping me informed and empowered throughout the process. Thanks toJohn, I not only achieved a favorable outcome but also felt supported every step of the way. If you are seeking a divorce lawyer who will go above and beyond for you, I wholeheartedly recommend John Whiteman, he will fight for you!

I worked with John P. Whiteman III who was straightforwardly down to earth, very precise, and realistic as to likely outcomes. John was also very pragmatic and cost conscious when it comes to choosing a strategy to answer a family court matter. I can only recommend him highly, and wished we had started working together earlier.

From my first meeting with John, I felt at ease and that I would be in great hands. It was very easy to speak with him; I felt that I was heard and this gave me comfort and peace of mind as I navigated unfamiliar territory. John is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, smart, personable, kind and understanding. He always got back to me in a timely manner and gave me excellent advice. His priority was to help me, and he told it to me straight and never sugar-coated anything, all while being compassionate. He guided me throughout for the best result, and pushed for a divorce agreement and not a long court battle. If any of my questions/needs went outside what he deemed was his area of expertise, he recommended other professionals. I respected him for his honesty and knew I could trust him. I'm so happy to be at the finish line. It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to have worked with one of the most effective, and most trustworthy professionals I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I recommend John highly. Thank you for being one of my pillars throughout the proceedings!

John Whiteman is an excellent lawyer.. was always available, top notch with knowing the law and protecting my rights. I was confident with him and his attention to detail. I never got to a trial but our court conferences he was excellent. He was so prepared that opposing counsel didn't want to engage or meet with him. Frustrating for me that their counsel dragged it on but through no fault of John. I have referred him to 2 people already. He came recommended by a good friend who actually was represented by a different lawyer against John. You know that's saying something when a friend doesn't recommend the lawyer they used but referred John Whiteman who was opposing counsel. He is an excellent divorce attorney knowing the law inside and out. Sound advice. He will fight for you.. Be confident in knowing that.

Thank god I hired him!!! I would probably still be going through a divorce if I didn’t! Very difficult ex. John is thorough and to the point! Almost like a machine “TERMINATOR “ but he’s compassionate and he is fair. Straight shooter and tells it like it is. Thank you John for your knowledge and dedication and helping me through this.

I never imagined that I would be someone who would go through a divorce. When the process started, I was really devastated. Initially I hired a divorce attorney who I thought would be good, but turned out to be terrible, adding to the drama and stress that was already weighing so heavily from the process itself. I needed an advocate that I could trust, not another person who made me feel like I was a burden to them, and creating additional anxiety. It was even more devastating when I was practically forced to fire my first attorney, so I was really in a panic when I needed to find a new, highly competent attorney I could trust. Thank goodness I chose John Whiteman with the Joseph Law Group. I was already one and a half years into the divorce and going nowhere fast. Although my ex and her attorneys were incredibly challenging to come to a settlement (putting things nicely), John was really amazing. It was like night and day compared to my previous attorney. Despite negotiations being fairly contentious, John was able to navigate through some rough waters, and get me to an agreement that was both fair and that I was comfortable signing. John was always accessible and actually listened to my input, and attempted as best he could to incorporate my ideas into our final agreement. In less than 6 months, I went from feeling hopeless, to completing this difficult chapter of my life (just waiting for the court to sign off). I am so grateful to John for his outstanding work and efforts, and I would not hesitate to recommend John Whiteman and his team at Joseph Law Group if you ever find yourself in need of a divorce attorney.

I was referred to John by a colleague of mine who couldn’t speak enough about him and his law firm. Once I met John personally I knew he was the person to help me navigate my Child Support case. I would highly recommend John and his staff!!

John Whiteman is a consummate professional. He never lost sight of the human complexity interwoven in my case. He took a course that encompassed the interpersonal challenges involved and expertly navigated the legal issues. Brought his professionalism and skills to a difficult situation, and with wisdom and delicate understanding brought my case out of the rough seas and to a stable and sustainable resolution. I highly recommend him and his firm. It was an honor and gift to work with John and the Joseph Law Group.

John is professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and as genuine as they come. He managed to keep me sane and composed throughout my unnecessarily long divorce. I was advised to contact John when venting my frustrations to a friend about how my previous attorneys were failing me miserably. From our initial meeting to present, he ensured that I was always well informed of all matters and what to expect. I was never left in the dark. Everything John explained and told me would happen, did transpire. He truly knows the legal system and what is best for his clients. Most importantly, his patience and compassion while guiding and advising me throughout this process, were beyond appreciated. Divorce is not easy, and I am grateful I had John walking me through it, achieving a timely end to it from his commencement on my case. “John P. Whiteman III is one of Long Island’s most respected divorce lawyers.” This statement could not be more true. I highly recommend John and Joseph Law Group, P.C.
