After interning in Washington, D.C., Whitney returned to law school, graduating from the University of Kentucky College Of Law in 1986.

Whitney’s law practice has focused for 30 years on courtroom litigation. He has tried cases in state and federal courts throughout Northern, Central and Southeastern Kentucky. His cases have ranged from First Amendment issues, personal injury, insurance defense, insurance coverage disputes, estates and wills, construction law, business litigation, premise liability, arson, family law, insurance bad faith and appellate cases.
