Intern Testimonials:
"From the beginning, my mentor has been nothing but kind and helpful. He was always approachable and never missed an opportunity to explain or correct something for me. He had his own work to deal with, so it meant a lot that I never felt uncomfortable going to him when I needed help. I am thankful he made time for me in the way that he did. Being the new person can be uncomfortable, but he made the process easy and simple."
"I cannot thank Whitinger enough for giving me a chance to intern at the Fishers office. It has dramatically increased my confidence in my degree, my own abilities, and my future. Having now signed a full-time offer with the firm, I feel motivated and eager to pay back what has been given to me so far. My time at Whitinger has already been so formative, and I'm eager to see where the journey takes me."
