I thought my husband was cheating on me, but wasn't sure or with whom. Melendez & Associates found out and I was able to firmly secure not only a successful settlement during our divorce but permanent custody of our three children. -- RB, Newport Beach

about whittier
According to Wikipedia, Whittier is a city in Los Angeles County, California about 12 miles (19 km) southeast of Los Angeles. The city had a total population of 83,680, as of the 2000 census and encompasses 12.5 square miles (32.4 square kilometers). Like nearby Montebello, the city is considered to constitute part of the Gateway Cities and is part of the southeast area of Los Angeles County. Whittier was incorporated in February 1898, although it was first settled in 1887, and became a Charter city in 1955. The city's population has increased steadily since its pioneer days, but it experienced a rapid acceleration in growth in the 1990s. It has increased from 77,807 in 1990 to 83,680 in 2000 and is projected to grow to over 90,000 in 2010. The city is named for the poet, John Greenleaf Whittier and is home to the historic Whittier College.
Southern Pacific Railroad built the first railroad spur to Whittier in 1887.[3] The railroad spur helped promote the boom of the 1880s. By 1906, 650 carloads of oranges and 250 carloads of lemons were shipped annually by rail. In 1904, the Pacific Electric opened the trolley line known as "Big Red Cars" from Los Angeles to Whittier. In the first two decades over a million passengers a year rode to and from Los Angeles on the Whittier line. Groves of walnuts were planted in 1887 and eventually Whittier was known as the primary walnut growing town in the United States. After World War II Whittier grew rapidly and the sub-dividing of orange groves began, driven by housing shortages in southern California. In 1955 the new Civic Center complex was completed and the City Council met in new chambers for the first time on March 8, 1955. The City continued to grow as the City annexed portions of Whittier Boulevard and East Whittier, the 1961 annexation added over 28,000 people to the population, bringing the total to about 67,000.
In 1887 the Pickering Land and Water Company set aside a 20-acre (81,000 m2) parcel of land for the development of a college, but a collapse in the land boom stalled construction. Progress on developing a college was sporadic, but on July 30, 1896 the Whittier Academy, operating since 1891, officially changed its name to Whittier College with 100 students enrolled. The school mascot, appropriately, is "The Poet." By 1906, Whittier College was an educational institution with laboratories, boarding halls, a large gymnasium and athletic fields. Due to an economic depression in the 1890s, the first bachelors degrees were not awarded at the college for 17 years. The Mendenhall Building at Whittier College was donated by Leona May Mendenhall in honor of her husband, Oscar Mendenhall. The Mendenhalls were among the founding families of Whittier. Oscar's brother, Samuel Mendenhall, helped bring in the water system and post office. The Mendenhalls were large growers for Sunkist oranges and Blue Diamond walnuts.
There are several neighborhoods in Whittier. The area centered around Philadelphia Street and Greenleaf Avenue is known as Uptown Whittier and contains the traditional central business core. Just north of Uptown Whittier are the neighborhoods known as Central Park and Hadley-Greenleaf. They have been designated historic districts by the city Historic Resources Commission, and together comprise most of the area of the Whittier Historic Neighborhood Association. These districts contain many Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival homes. In and abutting the hills north of the historic districts is Starlite Estates, an upscale neighborhood. The area surrounding Whittier College is known as College Hills and was also recently designated a historic district. The area east of College Avenue is often referred to as East Whittier. East Whittier was a separate agricultural community until the postwar era. The eastern parts of East Whittier, developed in the 1950s and 60s, are known as the upscale Friendly Hills, Murphy Ranch and Leffingwell Ranch.
