Before opening her practice, Staton worked with a criminal defense firm and completed a placement with the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office felony drug team. At Charlotte School of Law, she also participated in a parental representation clinic assisting parents in termination-of-parental-rights matters and the Beazer Restitution Fund Clinic. Her undergraduate experience included an internship involving mediation and teen court. These placements provided familiarity with legal counseling, courts, and client needs.

Whitney Staton has supported community service initiatives including Wills for Heroes, which provides legal documents to first responders, and volunteer efforts in the Charlotte area. She has participated in professional associations for North Carolina attorneys and women lawyers.
