Jaffe, Hanle, Whisonant & Knight, P.C.

As a fellow attorney, I wish to formally acknowledge and review the legal services provided by Jaffe, Hanle, Whisonant, & Knight, P.C., with particular reference to the legal representation by Richard Jaffe and Michael Whisonant in a serious criminal case involving a relative who was faced with State and Federal criminal charges and facing a potential life sentence without parole.

Being an attorney from out of state and unfamiliar with criminal defense attorneys in Alabama, I was referred to JHWK. After an initial consultation with Mr. Jaffe, I engaged the firm to represent my relative. This decision turnout to be one of the best decisions I ever made personally and professionally. I had significant concerns regarding the possibility of my relative serving a life sentence without parole and doubted whether any counsel could mitigate his circumstances. However, Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Whisonant’s astuteness and determination, and exceptional legal acumen throughout the proceedings, led to an astonishing outcome. At the sentencing hearing, their efforts resulted in a reduction from “life without the possibility of parole” to “time served,” an outcome which exceeded my expectations.

Throughout nearly 25 years as a legal practitioner, I have interacted with many law firms, and JHWK stands out as one of the most effective and best in criminal legal firm. Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Whisonant handled the matter with professionalism, ethical integrity, and respect for both me and my family member. Their meticulous attention and commitment to the case alleviated much of the anxiety associated with the legal process, especially with criminal cases. I was particularly impressed not only with their diligence, but also with the respect and care they showed to those they represented. Based on this experience, I confidently and unequivocally recommend Richard Jaffe and Michael Whisonant, and their firm, Jaffe, Hanle, Whisonant, & Knight, P.C. to anyone seeking experienced and dedicated criminal defense counsel in Alabama.
