“Mark and his team are extremely patient and detail oriented throughout each engagement. They are thoughtful and consistently ahead of it with each step of the way. I would highly recommend Whitney Law Group for any legal counsel with regard to employment law.”
"Thank you to Mark and his team for partnering to share their expertise that has helped me to better serve my clients."
"Mark Whitney served as primary employment law services provider at two financial institutions where I was CEO. Not only did he demonstrate proficiency in the law but also broad courtroom experience and depth in informal settlement situations. These skills translated into efficient, cost effective solutions for my institutions. If it became necessary to brief the board Chair or a board committee, Mark’s approachable communication style facilitated their ability to absorb the legal matters at hand and appreciate the range of probable outcomes of our cases. That same communication proficiency made Mark the perfect choice for executive management and board training situations. Mark has convinced me during recent years that he is hiring for and conveying to his staff these same professional characteristics. If you decide to retain the Whitney Law Group, you will be doing your firm a good service.”
Ed Lopes
Community Bank CEO
“When I needed an attorney to handle a contentious employment matter, Mark came highly recommended (“Reach out to Mark. No question. He’s the best”). After working with Mark and his colleague, Maureen, on a complex matter related to a former employer’s NDA, I wholeheartedly agree. Mark is incredibly knowledgeable, strategic, and extremely thorough in every regard. His style is direct yet empathetic, which was displayed when he helped guide me through what was a very trying situation. His colleague Maureen is also great. She was accessible when needed, is super sharp, and thoughtful within every interaction. What was also refreshing to experience, was how both Mark and Maureen always kept things on track, which was appreciated as legal matters can get costly. In the end, the outcome was an extremely positive one and I will forever be thankful to Mark and Maureen for their help and their professionalism. If you ever are in need of a legal team to handle an employment matter, you need to work with Mark and Maureen. No question, they are the best.”

“Highly recommend WLG and Mark! Mark and his team had great communication and were extremely professional. Mark went above and beyond to make sure I was fully prepared and feeling comfortable with the entire process before going into the mediation. His experience and knowledge was very much appreciated and really help create an overall positive experience.”
“Mark came highly recommended and he delivered as promised. He set appropriate expectations with me, and was professional on my behalf. He's a good advocate to have fighting for fairness/justice.”
"WLG worked on our behalf regarding a dispute. Opposing counsel made the process unnecessarily protracted. Maureen and Mark kept us informed throughout, letting us know when they needed us and when we would need to wait for responses. They were direct and efficient in all matters. Best, they were incredibly knowledgeable and insightful which ultimately saved us a lot of money and time. We felt very lucky to find them and have them as our advocates. Highly recommend. Brilliant "pay as you go" approach rather than prohibitive retainer costs."

Knowing that it had been a retaliation, I consulted 4 attorneys in New Hampshire, including some well known ones. They were all unwilling to represent me, but Mark stood up after hearing my story and knew that I could get better than what was offered. Through his work in the end I gained a substantial amount extra pay."

Marketing Executive
"After understanding my situation, Mark got into several negotiations with my former employer. He's very conscientious and cares about my benefits. It was a difficult negotiation process because my former employer was not cooperative. Mark gave the other side's lawyer our best reasoning and what normal companies would do for my situation, but my employer let their ego get in the way, instead of doing the right thing to investigate, they terminate the good person and wanted to to pay a small fee to let me go away quietly.

"Mark and his team at Whitney Law Group were a fantastic resource in a recent non-compete dispute. Over the years, I have witnessed first-hand how much quality legal representation is often tied to how deep your pockets are. Mark and his team offered me that kind of service, taking the time necessary to understand the case and negotiate the best terms for me. From the beginning of my case, it was clear that there were roadblocks that would have been impossible to navigate without Mark's exposure and experience. Leaning on Mark's thoroughness, we were able to act quickly through botched agreements, inept opposing counsel, questionable procedures, and complete disregard for timelines from the opposing party. If you are looking for an attorney in your Labor/Employment issue that will do everything possible to do right given your circumstances, Mark is your guy. Professional, understanding, and laborious."
"ABSOLUTELY THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS! -- I hired Mark to guide me through a separation settlement with a former employer. Due to the nature of my job, I interact with different lawyers on regular basis, and I have worked with some of the best out there. So I reached out to few, and I must say that I was not impressed, till I spoke to Mark. Just few minutes into the conversation, Mark was able to fully assess the situation, and discuss some options with me. He is extremely bright, tenacious, and very accessible despite his very busy schedule. Mark's advice and approach were very sound and was happy with the outcome. His honesty, integrity, and work ethic are a rare breed in this business."
"Mark did an outstanding job in negotiating a better severance package for me when I left corporate life.
He quickly understood what I was looking for and was clear, direct and effective in doubling the value of my severance.
Also a pleasure to work with."

Business Development Executive
"Mark and his associate Maureen were hired to help negotiate an Employment Separation Agreement. Their services were outstanding from the beginning. They were extremely professional, and responsive, yet were always considering my emotions as my position was eliminated after working 14 years at this company. They handled negotiations with a very large and influential employer with great knowledge, and an understanding on how to position myself to receive the best severance package possible. The services I was provided during this process exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend Mark and Maureen."
"Hired Atty. Mark Whitney twice. Two times a victor! It's rare to find an attorney/firm that actually cares about the outcome, vs. just trying to settle the litigation. Mark was referred to me by my corporate counsel as the best employment lawyer around. They were right. From the initial encounter to hours and hours of preparation time, to the sit-down with the other side's law firm, he was tenacious in his pursuit of the best possible end result. And, he out-argued the facts that their side was too lazy to discover, which cost them in the end, quite a bit of money in the settlement. My company(s) and I owe him a lot as a result."
"EXCELLENT ADVICE DURING JOB ELIMINATION -- I reached out to Mark at the suggestion of a family member when I was worried that my employment of almost 19 years was possibly going to end due to a restructuring. I was able to make good decisions with his advice before, during and after my the eventual loss of my job. He assisted in consultation, review, and feedback on all of my interactions with my former employer critically during the severance package review. I would strongly suggest working with Mark as he was a true professional providing me the information and confidence I needed. I will surely recommend him to any other friends or family members from the Greater Boston, North Shore and Merrimack Valley if they should need legal services. He made me feel brave, empowered and supported during a really difficult time in my professional life."
"EXCELLENT, KNOWLEDGEABLE COUNSELOR -- We hired Mark to help us with some employment law and contract issues. He was extremely knowledgeable and detailed, and he was very responsive - even on weekends! Mark was an excellent investment. saved far more money by hiring him than if we'd undertaken the process on our own. I fully endorse Mark and would recommend him to anyone with similar needs."

C-Level Executive, International Retail Company
"KNOWLEDGEABLE AND AGGRESSIVE -- As General Counsel for a company with nearly 1000 employees, we do occasionally need the help of a very experienced employment lawyer. Mark has counseled us numerous times on many issues, including new hires where we are dealing with non-competes from prior companies, difficult employees, hearings before the MCAD and much more. He is a consummate professional, easy to work with, and provides sound advice. I highly recommend him."
"Mark Whitney is hands down the best non-compete attorney that I have experienced. I was a Vice President at a manufacturing company and I had an "iron clad" non-compete contract. I was trying to leave my employer to start my own business. I consulted with several attorneys and all of them were in agreement that I had no chance of getting out of this non-compete contract. I was referred to Mark Whitney from an investment banker that wanted to fund my startup business. After my consultation with Mark ... I knew I found the right lawyer to represent me. I quit my job and I hired Mark. He performed a miracle! I had a full release from my former employer in less than four weeks! I absolutely recommend Mark Whitney."
"Attorney Mark Whitney saved the day!!! I had a situation at work where I could have lost my job unless I had sought the skills and expertise of an attorney like Mark. My situation had not been portrayed accurately to HR and as a result I did not have many people at the organization to stand by my side. Mark helped me structure the facts and delivery of information to HR which helped clarify the situation and ultimately made the charges against me completely disappear. If Mark had not helped manage and draft compelling letters to human resources the outcome of my situation would have been dramatically different. Thank you Mark....I truly believe that your actions saved my job and more importantly my career."
"I hired Mark to handle my discrimination and non compete case. Before hiring Mark I consulted with three big law firms in the New England area but was not convinced with them and decided to go with Mark. Best decision i ever made. Mark did a spectacular job handling my case and got it sorted out in less than 4 months. He is a great guy to deal with as well. You will never get the feeling you are dealing with a lawyer, you will really feel like you are dealing with a friend. He is always very patient and friendly and will give you the exact facts. He is not out to get your money and is always looking out for your best interests. He is tough and super smart and really knows what he is doing. The best damn lawyer around. Don't waste your time and money with the big firms. I would highly recommend Mark he is a rock star."
