About

Whitney M. Matney attended the University of Arkansas School of Law in Fayetteville, Arkansas.  During law school, she served on the Board of Advocates, was a member of the W.B. Putman Inn of Courts, won first place in the Closing Argument Competition, and received the "Best Oralist" award for her appellate brief argument.  Whitney clerked for The Honorable Judge John Scott in Benton County, Arkansas, where she developed a passion for client advocacy and litigation.  This passion remains with her today.  She is willing to tackle any legal challenge for any client, at any time.   Whitney gained experience clerking in the areas of civil litigation, domestic relations, personal injury, wrongful death, and medical malpractice.  Whitney also has experience with criminal defense.  She obtained her Rule XV Student Attorney Certification during her last semester of law school, and represented clients in their appeals from their capital murder cases.  Her work there gave her valuable insight into the fact that Justice should be afforded to all persons, no matter the charges against them.   Whitney has experience in divorce, child custody disputes, insurance claims, criminal defense, and breach of contract cases.  Whitney is a certified civil mediator and ad litem.  While her experience is in these areas, she welcomes the opportunity to guide clients through all walks of legal issues.

Ms. Matney is thorough, persistent and very smart. She reached an abundantly acceptable resolution on my case.

She returns emails and phone calls quickly, does not waste time in resolving conflicts or stalemates with the attorneys on the other side, and she fights well for her clients. She has represented me and I trust her.

Whitney has represented me in a variety of cases including traffic tickets, guardianship, and domestic relations. Each time she has provided clear and concise advice regarding my legal issues. She is able to explain the law in a way that is understandable to a non- attorney. She gave me the confidence to decide how I want to move forward so I could make the right choice for my situation. If you find yourself in a situation that requires representation and are nervous about the proceedings, Whitney will guide you through the process with as little stress as possible.

We have used Whitney for civil cases in the past and when I was arrested for felony domestic battery I immediately called Whitney. Whitney was able to negotiate my charges down from a felony to a diversion. Extremely rare occurrence and I could not be more satisfied with the results.

I hired Whitney in 2017 to help me through a particularly difficult custody case. I've spent many hours in her office in regards to different issues and she never once treated me as If my concerns weren't valid. She is really great at giving you straight forward answers and calming any uncertainty that exists. Whitney works hard for her clients and has the backbone we needed. I've referred a few people to her and will continue to do so.

Mrs. Matney did an amazing job with my divorce and custody case. Her communication skills were fantastic. I was always kept in the loop about my case and she was always accessible. She was so good i can't even think of anything i would say she needed to improve on.

Whitney helped us with custody issues for my son. She was honest and compassionate. She listened to my concerns and kept in touch with me every step of the way. Before Whitney I had gone through two other attorneys and they all disappointed in some way and didn't seem to care. Whitney made me feel like I was her only client and let me vent to her on more than one occasion! She also recommended a great counselor for my son to see as well. She knows what she is doing and will take care of you.

I had a very ugly divorce. I had initially hired a different lawyer recommended by a friend, which ended up with some miscommunication and an unpleasant outcome. I was desperate to find somebody to represent me and Whitney took my case under her wing. Even after the divorce, I struggle with my ex and she was there for me for advice. She gives you 100% of your time when you are with her, she makes sure you understand the process, and she doesn't sugar coat. I love that she is a shark and is really passionate about what she does. Her dedication to her client show and I wish I would have found her before all of this happened! If you are looking for somebody to hire, I would HIGHLY recommend Whitney! Not only is she AMAZING at what she does, she is super personable and very easy to talk and consult with, without being intimidated.
