After a lackluster experience with my first attorney, Denise jumped right in and worked extremely hard to bring the case to a fair settlement within two months. Denise doesn't waste time and gets right to the point. Unlike other attorneys, she works around the clock and answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. I am so glad I found her, she has been a bright light during the most challenging period of my life.

Theresa (at Trinity Family Law) is an amazing person, healer, and collaborative divorce lawyer…read more Don't confuse collaborative divorce with mediation -- they are different animals. Above and beyond her skills in the collaborative process, she cares deeply for her clients and is good at figuring out any underlying issues of what might be going on. I felt as comfortable as could be with a difficult process, divorcing a husband who was in denial and didn't want a divorce at all. Theresa supported me beautifully and led us through the process smoothly.

We followed through but I wish I'd just hired Theresa from the outset- feel free to learn from my experience. She and Trinity succeeded in several key areas where many others did not: communication, explanation , flexibility, billing. Theresa has a paralegal and an assistant and no email or call ever went unanswered. Most responses were same day or within 24 hours. Every time I needed something explained and reexplained they ALWAYS did so with patience and professionalism and would write it down for me. Theresa and Tribity were willing to work with our mediator but still complete the other portions of the divorce, which many attorneys won't do. Trinity has a monthly billing review which is automatically sent and you always see the hourly billing and rates and they take multiple forms of payment. Very transparent. So professional. Believe me, many attorneys and mediators aren't so organized. In my divorce there were many bumps in the road and problems and it drew out for a long time. Theresa and her whole team were very humane to me and were sometimes the only bright spot in the process- they were people to rely on and I hope if you're in the same boat as me an my kids were that you find the same respite in Theresa Kulat and Trinity.

I was recommended to work with Whitacre & Stefanczuk by a close friend of mine, and I have to admit…read moreit was the best decision I made as far as picking the attorney to handle my closing. Daniel Stefanczuk years of expertise and a variety of different cases ensured me that I made the right choice. It was my first real estate purchase and his professional approach and knowledge helped me go over the process smoothly and efficiently. He took care of all the aspects of the transaction and helped overcome some serious obstacles to make the deal happen. I highly recommend Whitacre & Stefanczuk services and I will come back to work with them in the future.

Our law firm is comprised of two attorneys, Kathryn C. Whitacre and Daniel Stefanczuk, graduates of Thomas M. Cooley Law School. Our goal every day is to work tirelessly for the benefit of our clients, often even long after the office closes and the blinds are drawn. We know that many of our clients choose to reach out to an attorney only as a last resort when their present circumstances become really difficult. With that in mind, we strive to be sensitive to the needs and concerns of each one of our clients. It is often the case that individuals do not even know whether they should retain an attorney to help them with their problem. Here at Whitacre & Stefanczuk LLC, we will happily sit down with you for a free half-hour consultation to talk with you and see if it is advisable that you hire the services of an attorney.

We cannot thank Mark enough for his exceptional work on our son's case--one that had been…read moremishandled for over five years by two prior attorneys. Finding Mark was truly a turning point and a godsend. Referred to us over Labor Day weekend, Mark met with us almost immediately, already fully versed in the details of our case and familiar with its history. From the outset, he was transparent, strategic, and methodical about how he would approach our situation. Mark is highly skilled, deeply knowledgeable, and remarkably effective in navigating the legal system. He combines professionalism with genuine compassion, treating his clients with respect and without judgment. His passion for justice is evident in everything he does, and he advocates with both precision and determination to achieve the best possible outcome. Within days of taking over our son's case, Mark developed a focused legal strategy, prepared critical documents, met extensively with our son, and brought long-overdue momentum to the case. His insight into the prosecution's approach allowed him to counter their arguments with sharp, well-executed legal tactics. What two other attorneys failed to accomplish in five years, Mark resolved in a matter of two months. What sets Mark apart is his integrity--he is driven not by profit, but by doing what is right. Throughout an incredibly stressful process, he remained steady, reassuring, and confident, giving us a sense of trust and hope we had long lost. We knew our case was in the hands of a true expert. Mark's dedication, empathy, and unwavering commitment to his clients make him an outstanding attorney and a trustworthy and honorable man. His efforts quite literally changed our son's future--from facing 28 years in prison for something he did not do, to receiving probation. We wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a passionate, competent, and results-driven attorney. God Bless you Mark and thank you for all you did for us. -- SJ, DJ, MJ

Mark is truly the best lawyer and a true professional. He handled my case with confidence and…read morecalmed me in my worst moments. He is well respected in his profession and his confidence with my case is what caused me to retain him. I'm a professional and I needed to protect my career and Mark made all that happen.

You will be well taken care of and know your case will be handled with confidence and care.

If I have a choice to give negative stars, I would definitely do that. I never worked with the…read moreother lawyers in the firm so I can not speak for them. I only worked with Alexander Sendlak who is absolutely terrible. I hired him in April 2025, since he got my case, he has not done anything other than transfer emails and response between me and the opposing lawyer. I did all the negotiation with apposing party myself the entire time, all he said from the very beginning is that "This is a good deal, sign it". never even made any effort to take a look at my case or even educate me on anything at all. what is worse is that he clearly stated that .3 hours is the minimum for the first task, after that minimum is .1, but guess what he charged me .3 hour on every single email and text messages he sent to me or anyone in the case. if you need a divorce lawyer, trust me that you have to find someone else if you don't want to hire someone just to bill you without doing anything. contact me if you have any question about this lawyer.
