Whitney understands that her clients often come to her during some of their most emotional, overwhelming, and sometimes frightening periods. Recognizing that few anticipate needing a family law attorney, she aims to demystify the legal process, making it less intimidating and confusing. Whitney finds personal and professional fulfillment in guiding clients through difficult times, genuinely caring about each client’s situation and their future well-being.
A knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and empathetic attorney, Whitney builds trust with her clients and colleagues by actively partnering with them every step of the way. She never underestimates the emotional stress and turmoil her clients may experience. While courtroom proceedings are sometimes necessary to protect clients and their families, she believes that the best outcomes often result from individuals controlling their own decisions about their lives. This belief makes her a strong advocate for mediation and alternative dispute-resolution techniques.
Born in Cleveland, TN, Whitney joins us after several years of practicing family law in Denver, CO. She earned her Juris Doctor degree from the University of Tennessee College of Law in Knoxville and holds a finance degree from the same institution. In addition to practicing law for over 10 years, Whitney’s legal training includes extensive experience in litigation, collaborative law, mediation, and acting as a Guardian ad Litem. Whitney’s dedication to her clients’ financial and physical security is further evidenced by her certifications as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and her training in domestic violence mediation.
With a strong background in both law and finance, Whitney is committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate legal support to all of her clients.
It depends on what type of divorce you are pursuing. If both parties are in agreement on how assets and debts will be split, you are likely eligible for our uncontested divorce. Uncontested divorces run between $2,000 and $3,000 dollars, occasionally more if you need extra documents like QDROS. Call us today for a consultation and a personalized quote.
Contested divorces happen when there is disagreement between how to split assets or debts, or there other arguments about the case. These run significantly higher. A typical starting retainer can be between $3,000 and $5,000 but will need to be replenished as your case progresses. Every contested divorce is different, but usually requires a minimum of $10,000 or a significantly higher maximum.
Every firm has different procedures. Here at Angela C. Larkins, Attorney at Law, our consultations are a flat fee of $200. Your appointment will last one hour, during which you will explain your situation to Angela and she will give you some preliminary information and advice. We offer consultations in-person, via phone call, or via Zoom meeting. If you already have documents associated with your case (Summons, Final Decrees, Financial Documents, etc.) you are more than welcome to bring them with you for Angela to review during your time together. At the end of your consultation, Angela will quote you either a flat fee or a retainer depending on your unique situation. After, you may choose to retain Angela as your legal representative or you may seek other representation more suited to your needs.
While you are welcome to bring almost anyone with you to your consultation, please know that only you, the Client, are protected by Attorney-Client privilege. All information disclosed to a third party is no longer protected. We welcome and understand that Clients often need moral support, but we also hold your safety and confidentiality as a top priority.
Please do not bring your other party with you, even if you are having an amicable divorce. Angela can only represent one party in each case. If both parties want to speak with her, please look into our mediation services as an alternative to consultations or representation. We do not have child care services available during your consultation. All children must be of an appropriate age to sit in the conference room with you during your session.
All clients, new or returning, can speak with Angela on an appointment-only basis. Please reach out to us at (423) 648-6622 or the email below to schedule an appointment. We look forward to speaking with you!
