About W. Sean
W. Sean Whitaker is an Arizona attorney who practices family law across the Phoenix metropolitan area. He works out of multiple Jensen Family Law offices, including locations in Scottsdale, Gilbert, Chandler, Glendale and Mesa. His practice covers the common legal issues that arise when families separate or reorganize.
Whitaker’s professional path has been rooted in courtroom work and negotiated settlements. Over the years he has handled contested divorces, custody and parenting-time disputes, property division matters and spousal maintenance cases. He represents clients in both contested hearings and settlement negotiations, and he appears before judges and family court commissioners when litigation is required.
He maintains current membership in professional legal associations. Those connections provide access to continuing legal education and peer discussion on evolving family law topics in Arizona. He also uses those forums to stay informed about procedural changes and case law developments that affect family court practice.
Clients and colleagues describe his approach as practical and procedural. He aims to prepare thorough court filings and to marshal evidence carefully for hearings. When cases are appropriate for mediation or negotiated settlement, he pursues agreements that resolve outstanding financial and parenting issues. When litigation is necessary, he files motions, conducts discovery and presents evidence at trial or final evidence hearings.
Whitaker works in an environment of multiple offices, which lets him meet clients at locations convenient to their homes or workplaces. The Jensen Family Law offices in Scottsdale, Gilbert, Chandler, Glendale and Mesa serve different communities across Maricopa County. He coordinates with local staff and court liaisons to manage filing deadlines and court appearances in different municipal and county venues.
His day-to-day practice includes preparing parenting plans, drafting property division proposals, negotiating support terms and arguing for client positions at hearings. He handles temporary orders as well as final decree matters. He also assists clients who must respond to emergency motions or injunctions that arise during custody or domestic relations disputes.
Outside the courtroom he spends time reviewing case law and preparing client communications that explain legal options and procedural steps. He emphasizes clarity in explaining how the court system works and what clients should expect at each stage of a family law matter. In his current practice, he represents individuals across the Phoenix area through Jensen Family Law and focuses on family law litigation and settlement work.
