Located in Durham, Judy Whisnant Attorney at Law, P.C. proudly provides trusted and effective representation for clients in the areas of Family Law and Estate Planning. My decades of legal experience allow me to help you resolve your legal matters and move forward with confidence. As a certified AOC mediator, I have built my legal practice around helping my clients achieve their divorce goals by providing mediation and collaborative law services.
Date of marriage, date of separation (if any), address or whereabouts of a spouse, recent tax returns, mortgage statement, pay stubs, account statements, etc. Judy Whisnant, Attorney at Law, P.C. provides family law and divorce services and representation on estate planning and probate matters, including wills, trusts, and powers of attorney.
At the beginning of my representation, you'll pay an advance fee based on the type of case and my assessment of the amount of time it may take to resolve it. The advance fee amount will be discussed in your initial consultation and reflected in the fee agreement. This isn't a flat fee - your actual legal fees and costs may be more or less.
I'm not your average divorce lawyer. I have all the trappings of a successful attorney - degree from a good law school, coveted clerkship, solid courtroom record - but my approach is often to remind my clients of the following principles: Life is short; this is not a board game; what goes around comes around; and, we can get through this together.
Legal matters such as divorce, division of assets, alimony, preparing a will or trust, or fighting a probate court battle can be stressful and emotional. A key factor to alleviating this stress is working with a knowledgeable, experienced divorce lawyer who can provide clarity each step of the way and let you know what to expect.

Judy Whisnant went above and beyond our expectations. She is an excellent listener, asks appropriate questions, knows the law and gets results. She explained legal terms and processes clearly and made sure we understood each step. She is warm and supportive and at the same time wholly professional and effective. I highly recommend her.

I was referred to Judy Whisnant by a friend who used her services for a divorce case.
Judy Whisnant has just finished preparing my will and I feel as positively about working with her as my friend did over ten years ago! Quite the opposite of the stodgy lawyer figure, Judy Whisnant is caring and personal. I would definitely like to work with her in the future and recommend her to my friends.
