Before joining Jay Goodman & Associates Law Firm, Whitney served as an elementary school teacher and administrator, as well as a Guardian ad Litem.

She understands that legal matters often carry emotional weight, and she approaches each case with a sincere commitment to guiding clients through the process with clarity and care.
