John took care of my elderly father's Will, and that was extremely happy with the choice we made. John came to my father's house to take care of all the paperwork, which made it so much easier for us. He is trustworthy, knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend him.

John was a great help to me as he helped me and my Uncle through all the details of his will. I felt he listened and understood the issues that we were concerned about and explained things to us in a very straightforward and easy to understand manner.

My mother passed away in 2019 and I needed a lawyer to handle probate. I didn’t have any referrals so I went to AVVO and chose John B Whalen Jr. Thankfully AVVO didn’t let me down! John was professional, personable, efficient and knowledgeable. He responded to all of my questions quickly and articulately. I never felt like he was annoyed with all of my questions or that he was too busy for me (I have had two other experiences with lawyers and that’s exactly how I felt with them). Good guy – but even more importantly good lawyer!

John Whalen Jr handled our estate needs with integrity and expertise. We are highly satisfied and would definitely recommend his services.

Mr. Whalen is professional, intellectually superior, and reassuring. He is seasoned at estate law and provides piece of mind. I highly recommend his services!

I have known John for many years, since High School. The way he approaches his job is grounded in the highest ethical and moral standards and his experience and demeanor create an instantly comfortable situation. He has handled situations for me and most of my older family in an honest and competent way. In my life his advice has guided me when it was needed most. Some brag, John lets the music do the talking. Everyone I have ever introduced to John have been grateful. Evaluating lawyers is like going to Clown College. John can restore your faith in humanity!

I asked several questions without Atty Whalen pushing for a consultation which I would have to pay for / his answers were quite helpful / I believe his answers were truthful / I did not hire Atty Whalen but it was because of other issues involved in my legal issue / If I were to hire anyone it would be Atty Whalen

I contacted John Whalen when I had some legal questions over my grandfather's estate. I learned of him through Avvo, and was impressed by his many great reviews. He promptly contacted me. Over numerous phone calls over multiple days, John was able to answer all of the legal questions I had. He was thorough in his answers, and I never once felt rushed when I spoke with him. We discussed all of my options, and he did a great job of explaining the pros and cons of each potential outcome. He was an effective communicator, and helped me understand what we were dealing with. I would recommend John Whalen to anyone in the area.

John Whalen was awesome, as I have a home business he helped me get things in order and correctly choose a beneficiary for my home, business and pets.

John B. Whalen was very helpful to me and my Mother. He explained everything to her and made her feel at ease with the details of our situation.

It is so rare to find an attorney who is willing to meet you at your place of convenience rather than always having to go to their office. I am extremely impressed with how John is so personable and service oriented. I would definitely refer him as the attorney to take care of your probate and will needs.

John was very helpful in explaining why this was not needed and also helped to clarify other legal issues on powers of attorney. Thanks to his advice we did not need to spend on excessive legal fees and can resolve open financial issues easily.
