Ed impressed me in our first meeting. Good people skills, well thought out actions based on my situation and above all, rationales and mental support. He seemed to be interested in the personal part of my stories and how he could help.

I am from out of state and I was desperately looking for a team that I could trust and delegate my case to. I retained Edward F. Whipps & Associates because of their experience and good plans for my case. They were ideal and made the process so easy What impressed me the most is the team remembers every detail of my case as if they are only dealing with my case exclusively.

I like Ed’s background in psychology. He is able to connect with people. I have interviewed quite a few attorneys and none of them did what Ed could, not even close. It takes a lot of coordination/negotiation to make the other party agree on what we wanted to achieve.

It was not only Ed himself doing a great job, but also his team members. They work together like a family. I wonder how they did it. Ed’s team is creative and flexible as well as really experienced and professional. It is hard to imagine a better or more supportive service as I have received. Without them, I would not know what to do.

I am now able to move on with peace knowing that I have my fair share of parenting time. Ed’s team shielded a lot of the unnecessary drama from my life and the entire process was as easy as it could be. It helped me a lot to recover from my divorce trauma and I do thank them from the bottom of my heart!!

I scheduled my initial consultation with Ed after using another attorney from a different law firm in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain a dissolution. That had left me feeling confused, anxious, and helpless. When I first sat down with Ed, I felt a sense of relief. Ed listened and shared pertinent information that immediately put me at ease. His knowledge and experience was evident. I left his office feeling a sense of confidence. He shared information about the divorce process and how he and his associates would navigate my case with me. Knowing I was not alone and had a solid team of legal professionals advocating for me was a wonderful feeling.

It was obvious that Ed was a seasoned professional who had all the knowledge and tools to get me through an experience that was completely foreign to me. My biggest fear was losing my daughter. Ed communicated to me the laws and his experience with parenting time. My worst fears were assuaged.

Ed worked with me to match me with one of his associates, Chelsea Long, who he felt would best match my needs. Chelsea exuded the same confidence and assuredness as Ed had during our initial consultation. Chelsea went above and beyond what I would ever have expected. In fact, I didn’t feel like a client. Chelsea took the time to get to know me and my daughter. She was in constant contact with me through phone calls, emails, and texts. The personal touch went a long way with me.

Ed’s understanding of psychology was significant in my case. My ex-wife is actually a Psychologist. When I shared my concerns with Ed, he shared his work in the field of psychology. Knowing that Ed had a thorough knowledge of psychology acted as an equalizer for me.

There is absolutely zero chance the divorce would have been settled as quickly as it was without the balanced and calm nature of Chelsea and Ed. They handled my emotions with sensitivity and handled the opposing legal team with a no-nonsense nature that cut through the emotional clutter, getting right to the point of things. I ended up with more than I was offering during the failed dissolution attempt. I kept my home. I received 50/50 parenting. My ex-wife actually owed ME child support, and I kept my pension intact. Chelsea and Ed made sure that I understood my rights and what was within the scope of what I had a right to keep and receive. Without their guidance, my settlement would not have looked nearly as good as it did.

The outcome of my case greatly affected the life of my daughter. She gets to see both her parents an equal amount of time. She is not exposed to silence, resentment, arguing, or any negative aspects of an unhealthy relationship. She gets to still live in the same house where she was born, sleep in the same bedroom, and play with the same neighborhood children. The quality of her life increased exponentially due to the outcome of my case.

Ed was very professional and concise. He was able to give insight on my desired outcome of the case. Many other law firms took messages and drilled me over the phone with ‘screening questions.’ Ed was cordial with a no pressure approach.

I was surprised at how very personalized they were and with their ultra quick communication as well as with Mr. Whipps’ preparedness. I now have peace of mind and closure which is invaluable. My children are secure and confident.

From my first visit to Edward F. Whipps & Associates, I was made to feel that my case was of top priority.

Most important was Mr. Whipps’ ability to persuade the court that the child and the child’s counselor should determine when, if ever, the child should be subjected to visitation with the defendant. Because of Mr. Whipps, the case was dismissed and we were once again able to return to a normal life without a constant worry and fear of what could happen. Without Edward F. Whipps & Associates, I feel very strongly that it would not have been a good outcome for my child.

I live out of state so I really needed to trust that I was in the right hands. I felt that right from the beginning and never looked back or doubted my decision.”

Ed worked with Jessica Wood throughout the case. Jessica was knowledgeable and kept me updated as things progressed. I always felt as though Jessica and Ed were completely in sync and had everything prepared. I completely trusted Ed and Jessica and they did everything they said and things went as they described.

Ed never missed a beat and kept everything on track and on point with the judge. His mastery of the courtroom and ability to have the judge see his points as the correct ones always made me feel at ease.

I have 6 attorneys for various matters. None of them came close to the professionalism or personal attention that Ed shows every day to the client. Ed gave me his honest opinion and was completely on target with his opinions. My view of attorneys is completely different than it was before I met Ed and now I have faith that being honest still has merit.

I chose Edward F. Whipps & Associates because I had a lot of confidence and trust in Chelsea Long. Psychology played a major role in my divorce since psychological evaluations were necessary. Ed and Chelsea knew how to utilize these results benefiting my case.

It took years and was costly. In the end, it was worth every penny that was spent. The firm is truly caring and you are not just another case. They treat you like family.

The outcome of my case is that my children are now very happy that they get to spend the majority of their time with me – the parent they desire. I would highly recommend Edward F. Whipps & Associates.

At an extremely stressful time in my life, Attorney Whipps’ genuine concern made me immediately comfortable. He sincerely took the time to listen and due to his experience and knowledge of the law and psychology, he quickly evaluated my situation and determined how he would proceed. He is truly compassionate, honest, respectful and professional – a true advocate for his client. Ed’s associate, Chelsea, demonstrated utmost professionalism and valuable legal counsel. She is to be commended for her dedication to my case and the extremely positive outcome. She truly makes you feel you are her most important client.

The services of Edward F. Whipps & Associates were truly client-oriented. They have excellent communication with clients and a willingness to delve into every aspect of the case. They also have an excellent reputation with peers and are highly respected in the courtroom.

My successful outcome will provide me with security for my future. I feel blessed to have been represented by this firm and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking family law representation. They care about clients.

In my initial consultation, Ed was very professional and also personable. I quickly saw that his knowledge and years of experience would be valuable. Ed and his associates pride themselves in being personal and making sure that you are comfortable with what is going on and are involved.”

Mr. Whipps gave me the strength to stand up for what I believe in. Had I not had Mr. Whipps I would have given into the mental bullying of my ex. I had the fortitude to stay strong and this allowed me to keep my house where my son and I can continue to live.

Ed handled things with my ex with a finesse that was astounding. In the end, I ended up with more than I had initially hoped for and we did this without going to trial. Mr. Whipps is leagues above other attorneys in my opinion.

Ed and Jessica couldn’t make a better team. Their understanding of the law is phenomenal. I could not have asked for a better team to support me. They care about your well- being and when they say if you need anything call, they truly mean it. I do not feel that any other attorney would have done the job that Ed did.

In my initial consultation with Mr. Whipps, I found him to be a great listener. Having a medical degree was to my advantage, in that I was able to identify the contributions that an understanding of psychopathology would add to my case. I needed the services of an attorney who had experience and a clear understanding of the connection between psychology and the specific situation in my case. I was impressed by Ed’s methodical approach and his attention to detail. He was also quite candid in not making any unrealistic promises.

Stress is magnified many fold especially when the case involves psychological undertones associated with a personality disorder. Lies, deception, manipulation and false accusations were involved. Many lawyers are unaware of the existence of personality disorders but Mr. Whipps was. Based upon his connections in psychological circles, I looked no further. I knew that I had found a law firm with clear experience regarding the contribution of psychological problems as they affect a divorce and I knew that their legal approach would be tailored to this.

Mr. Whipps’ understanding of psychology played a big role in the handling of my case. He was able to direct the attention of the judicial system to the existence of psychological dysfunction in the opposing party. The court needed to be convinced about the contribution of the opposing party’s psychopathology, especially the existence of a personality disorder which could compromise the safety of the minor children. It needed to be exposed.

During depositions, Mr. Whipps was able to identify that the opposing party loses contact with reality and that in addition to a personality disorder, there is psychosis. Thus, with his experience in psychology, he was able to expose the opposing party’s psychological dysfunction.

I was pleased with the expertise and organization existing in this law firm. My overall experience with the firm has been quite positive and I would highly recommend their services to anyone without hesitation.
