Joshua Whitaker Founding Member and Managing Partner Whitaker & Hamer, Garner, N.C.

A founding member of Whitaker & Hamer, Josh Whitaker’s practice focuses on residential and commercial real estate and business transactions. The firm has grown from one to seven offices across the Research Triangle. Staff longevity is a hallmark of the practice.

“Our law firm is fortunate to have experienced very little staff turnover since we started the firm in 2004,” Whitaker says. “Our top professional success lies in helping create an environment in which attorneys, paralegals and staff feel safe, valued and comfortable.”

Whitaker, who earned his law degree from Campbell University, points to his colleagues and team at his firm when he mentions the attributes that have made him a successful attorney.

“I couldn’t imagine doing what I have done without the professional, highly educated staff that surround me every day,” he says.

Whitaker and his law partner, Joseph Hamer, also operate the Judica County podcast, which provides information about all things legal. This podcast was nominated for a People’s Choice Podcast Award in 2022
