MCLENDON & WHITACRE - Key Persons
Benjamin Whitacre understands that when you have a legal issue, it is the most important and difficult thing going on in your life at that time. Your situation is personal, and so it's personal to Ben and he takes each client's issue seriously as though it is his own. Being an effective advocate demands more than simply being a voice for your client. It requires that you know your client and understand what they are going through at any given time. When a client puts their trust in Ben, he is dedicated to what each client deserves. The commitment is simple: protect you, your family, and your future - its what you deserve.
