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.

I am so pleased to have the chance to recommend John to anyone contemplating the very stressful, confusing and frightening world of divorce negotiations. I am come through the process successfully thanks to John. John helped me understand the complex issues of divorce from a legal perspective but was there to support me intellectually and emotionally as well. He was willing to accommodate the civilized and flexible approach my spouse and I wanted for our divorce, both for our sakes and our children's. John's highly professional same day rapid and thorough responses made me feel confident that my interests were always valued and protected. I consistently found John to be responsive, available and understanding of my needs. He listened to me, strongly advocated for me, explained my options clearly and explained the law and the long term effects of proposals I was considering. In the end, we were successful in getting a settlement agreement that provides a secure future for me and my children. I strongly recommend John to anyone venturing into the world of divorce.

They're the best! You're in good hands with Joe and Chris.

I highly recommend the Joseph Law Group as one of your consultations when thinking about or needing representation through the process of divorce. I knew I made the right decision when signing on board with them immediately after the consultation which was completely thorough and provided me a complete understanding of what to expect. The Team, led by John Whiteman, was able to streamline and represent me in a way that eased this stressful process. I was always kept in the reality of what to expect throughout negotiations with no false promises. In the end I was completely satisfied with the legal services provided by the group. Should you be in need of legal representation, Joseph Law Group should be considered.

I would like to share my experience using John Whiteman’s services for divorce/legal separation. This process was truly a difficult one for me personally. When going through an experience that is truly life-changing, making the best choices can be very difficult. However, making the best choices was very easy for John. Looking back, the advice I got from John from day one through the end was truly insightful and on target. Everything John told me would happen did happen. John truly knows the legal system and what is best for his clients. I want to write the best review possible and a review that does justice to the service that John provided. So what I would like the reader to take away from my review is, I full heartedly recommend John because he truly has his clients best interest at heart. All of the solutions that he came up with were not only my best interest, but in hindsight they were in best interest for the family. If you utilize John services then you have made the right choice.

John was efficient, prompt, and straight forward. He made an otherwise uncomfortable process easy to deal with. Thank you for making it easier!
