Ms. Whitten's law practice extends from Bakersfield to Sacramento to Oakland. She has cases filed in federal and state courts all over the Central Valley. She has significant experience with jury trials in courts throughout the state. She knows how to get your case ready for a jury trial.

I had never been in a position to need an attorney, so I was at a complete loss on what to do or the process it would entail. I was scared, nervous, and feeling hopeless. I googled an attorney that might be able to help me with my employer troubles. As luck would have it- I found Bryant | Whitten. I emailed them and Amanda Whitten responded quickly. This set the president of our entire time together. She not only put me at ease, she gave me hope! Amanda is AMAZING at what she does! She is direct, communicative, easy to talk to, and was always able to answer any questions I had to help guide me through this difficult process. With Amanda, I got the best possible experience of a terrible situation. She was extremely knowledgeable. My employer had a tough team of lawyers at their disposal. This did not deter her at all. It was like she was able to envision everything prior to it happening. She made sure she got all the facts or evidence there was. Long story short- Amanda was able give me the peace I needed. I pray I am never in that situation again, but if so- I know who I will be calling!
