Working with Katherine Whitney throughout my commercial lease negotiation was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business. From the beginning, she brought an incredible level of expertise, professionalism, and guidance to a very challenging negotiation with a difficult landlord. Katherine was an exceptional advocate every step of the way - responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in protecting both my business and my long-term interests. She helped identify important lease provisions and risks I never would have known to look for on my own, and because of her, my business is far better protected moving forward. Personally, she made an incredibly stressful process feel manageable and gave me real peace of mind throughout. I walked away feeling informed, supported, and confident in the final agreement. I cannot recommend Katherine highly enough to any small business owner looking for strong, knowledgeable representation for commercial leasing.
The word that comes to mind about Katherine Whitney is phenomenal. That can be used to describe her experience, approach, communication, and counsel. All of that you want to find in a lawyer when you are in need, and she does indeed bring that to the table. But what stood out about her, and what is so very hard to find in people these days, is her genuineness. She genuinely cares about her clients and it shows in all interactions as she represents you. She is extremely knowledgeable, fast on her feet, strategic in thought and approach, and guides her clients clearly through all steps. If you are looking for legal counsel in her area of practice, there is no need to look further. She was able to achieve success for the issue hired for, which most people would say “well sure that makes you happy and would write a good review”, but it is a testament to say even if the outcome was different, the decision to hire her would be made again and again. You just can’t go wrong with Katherine.
Katherine E. Whitney provided me with outstanding representation, showcasing her deep knowledge of real estate law, particularly regarding easements and rights of entry. She addressed all my concerns and resolved each legal matter with expertise. Katherine is a skilled negotiator who always looked out for my interests, demonstrating patience and keen listening skills. Her attention to detail is exceptional—nothing is overlooked at any stage. She also has an impressive ability to foresee and strategize for potential issues, ensuring smooth outcomes. Katherine’s follow-through and quick response to any arising issues gave me peace of mind throughout the process. For anyone needing a dedicated, thorough, and highly skilled attorney, I can’t recommend Katherine highly enough. She combines professionalism with a client-first approach, delivering truly exceptional results. Thank you again for representing me!
Katherine was an exceptional professional to have on our side as we trekked through the muddy waters of a residential real estate transaction(s). Katherine was very thorough and extremely prepared throughout our entire interaction with her! The amount of detail Katherine put into our situation allowed us to feel comfortable and confide in her expertise during many times of need. We highly highly recommend Katherine and are extremely grateful for her time and hard work!
Katherine was great! Very easy to work with and explained things that didnt make sense to me. Just a great person to have on your side to help navigate areas that I really needed help with. So knowledgeable and personable. I would work with her again if I ever need help in this area. Thanks Katherine!!
Ms. Whitney handled a property sale for us. She is very friendly, professional, and thorough; great with communication in both responsiveness and explaining the intricacies of the process. Highly recommended!
Katherine was quick to respond, and great at explaining things so that we felt confident about each decision to be made. She communicated very well with my real estate agent as well.
I chose "good" on "value for the money" because I have no other experience to compare against. But I can say she was available "after hours" and very reassuring during the process. She knew what to do, performed quickly, and was very detail oriented. I would hire her for any legal issue involving real estate.
Reviews
These client and peer reviews are from the Martindale-Avvo Legal Network.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
