Client Review

Exceptionally skilled and honest!
by R. Stefanova
January 24th, 2013

5/5stars

In 2005, I was struck by a car while crossing a highway intersection on foot, sustaining serious injuries. My original lawyer waited until the day before the statute of limitations was to expire, to file my case, and then filed it in the wrong county. In 2012, I learned through my daughter (who was working at a law firm and accessed my case through the court website) that my case had been dismissed two years prior because my lawyer failed to provide discovery to the defendant.

Testimonials

We selected you because you took time to talk with me at first contact. I believe it was a good 15-20 minute phone conversation involving a mix of business and personal. In fact, you were the only attorney that asked about what it is we wanted. Every other attorney merely quoted a rate for services. As I recall, you did not even mention money until I asked near the end of the conversation. You give attorneys a good name. I only wish the majority of the other attorneys on this planet had your knowledge and demeanor.
Satisfied Attorney Client
After years of frustration with an incompetent attorney, I had the good fortune of finding Mr. Whelan. His clear and concise communication style led me to hire him after a free consultation and enabled speedy filing of my case. The difficulties of managing a NJ rental property from CA became manageable thanks to his expertise and knowledge about the complex rental laws in NJ. You took time to talk with me at first contact. You were the only attorney that asked about what it is we wanted.
Celeste B.
I will never forget my attorney's dedication to obtaining a substantial recovery for me under a severe time deadline and with no cooperation from my former lawyer. Also, Mr. Whelan was very accommodating of my limited English throughout the case and my lack of understanding of the American court system.
Personal Injury Client
Chuck is well versed in business law, real estate law, landlord and tenant law as well as Planning, zoning and land use. Believe me we challenged his patience, creativity and legal knowledge. Chuck's intellect and ability would be enough. However, his integrity is what impresses me as much, if not more. I would highly recommend Chuck for a variety of legal services without hesitation. We are grateful to be associated with Chuck and appreciate his hard work on our behalf.
