Specializes in family law with excellent experience
Ken is very knowledgable and experienced in the family law. In my case, he helped me with my divorce. I wanted to have an attorney who could advise with great knowledge and draw from his years of experience, and Ken fulfilled both criteria. He can be blunt at times, but I appreciate that quality because some times a good advice isn't what one "wants" to hear, but is "needed" to hear. He also knows his way around the middlesex court house and knows people and judges there very well. I can not imagine a better person to work on my divorce, I would definitely recommend him.

Highly recommended and Very Knowledgeable
After reading many reviews here and speaking with other attorneys, I set up a consultation with Mr. Ken White and Lauren and I am glad that that I made a right choice. Kenneth and his team, with their professionalism, made the complete process easier. Their office worked in a very fast and efficient manner. Kept me informed through the entire process of my case and was VERY easily reached and accessible. My divorce process was a bit different and complicated but Ken and his team handled everything with courtesy and professionalism I highly recommend his services, I am very happy with his services and with the outcome of my case. Thanks Again Ken and Lauren.

Great Professional Lawyer
Ken, has a great understanding of Family law. He pays great attention to the minute details of the situation and has a very realistic approach to tackling each step of the case. I have found him to be very responsive and available throughout my case. He is able to deal with custody, and parenting challenges with great professionalism even when the parties are relocating outside the U.S. He has decades of working relationship with the court and is highly regarded at the court. This has enabled him to lead my case through the system at a faster pace than others could have.

Great! Lawyer
If your looking for someone to get to the point and goal of a divorce, Ken is the right guy for you. He doesn’t mess around, but try to stay on course and get the divorce finalized as soon as it’s legally able too. He helped me with mine, especially, if your spouse is as stubborn, controlling, and uncooperative human being. Thank you! Ken, for all you have done and got the messy divorce done, as soon as possible. Appreciate, all the support and helped me keep track of what’s important. Thanks again!

Divorcing a Narcissist during COVID was TOUGH
Divorce is never easy, there are no winners, especially when you're blind sided and love your family (2 kids) and home. Emotions are tough to manage and COVID didn't help the situation - imagine not knowing why you're divorced! Hiring an attorney who understood what he was up against was tough for me because it was difficult to explain to him clearly. He was up against two tyrants who were going after everything they could, even a premarital home that she was in no way entitled to, while turning my children against me. She wanted to destroy me. Ken was the right candidate by far! He knows things you would not even think about and does his job profoundly well. I was sure I was going to lose it all and Ken navigated things to the point that I feel like a survivor of not only a divorce, but narcissistic abuse. His recommendation for "Reunification Therapy" with my 16 year old son was priceless to me, as he was a victim being turned against his Dad. When times were unbelievably stressful because of harassment and bullying from the other side Ken managed to get me to a place of assurance, and I knew everything was going to be alright - I just had to get to the other side of this. I'm very grateful for how he handled this divorce and the outcome could not have been better, or more fair. I would never go for anything that was not fair and received what was rightfully mine after 18 years of marriage. Ken made sure that my premarital property was left untouched as the other side and their attorney went after it tooth and nail - like criminals. Again, in divorce there are no winners and the best advice I can offer anyone is: Kenneth A. White will make it easier, you just have to get to the other side and that's the process that seems endless. Once you're there, look ahead, never look back. Narcissists are cunning and deceptive. Best of luck to all that are in this horrible situation - but it does get better,

My review fir Mr. White
He was a very professional lawyer and his legal cost was very reasonable. He took his time to explain to me the legal process and to close the case in my advantage. Use of computer technology resulted in much faster way to review and finalize legal documents. His staff was all excellent for preparing legal documents.

Divorce
Ken and his staff were very patient and detailed with me during this very difficult time. I heard horror stories of divorces taking years and mine was completed in 10 months. He always explained everything very clearly and I was never caught off guard or by surprise due to Ken’s explanations being very clear. I highly recommend Ken.

A true Professional
Divorce is a process that you can never predict what will happen next. It is always a nightmare, no matter which side you are. Ken was my second lawyer and he was so different from the first one hired. We can tell when people are taking advantage of us, and that's what happened with my first lawyer. With Ken, he was honest and straightforward, he will give me all the options and the pathway each one leads to. It was very easy to deal with Ken because you know he is not trying to take advantage of your situation. When attorneys have become more business-oriented than saving society from chaos, we need more professionals like Ken. Thanks Ken for your guidance and honesty.

No Regrets
Before retaining the services of Shane White in my divorce case, I was represented by another legal counsel prior to his arrival. After several months I immediately ceased any further work with this person as I thought they had not had my best interest in mind and did not take the proper steps to advise me of my rights. During my initial consultation with Mr. White, he came across empathetic to my circumstance and concerns that I had, regarding my ongoing case which he was able to get up to speed on in a timely manner. He also took me on as a client when I was seeking medical attention outside of the U.S. Come to think of it, my only regret is not having him as my attorney from the beginning. I am very pleased with the outcome of the case and Mr. White and his teams services. Thank you for all your support.

Trustworthy and Dependable
I was frustrated since other attorneys. I was wasting time and money... Honestly, I felt unsure and scared about my future. One day, my collegue told me " To find a good lawyer who can help you" From that day, I spent a lot of time for reading the attorney's reviews on the Avvo site. After carefully reading all his reviews more than 20 times I made a decision to meet with Mr. Ken White. When I had consultation with Mr. White, it was like no other consultation. He has more than plenty of knowledge in his field, which helped relieve a lot of the stress. He also answered all my questions and helped me feel at ease. He is a knowledgable, professional and trustworthy attorney that always has his client best interests in minds. I am so pleased to have found him. The office worked in a very fast and effiecnt manner. I received email whenever there was any update that needed to be addressed or they just thought I needed to be aware of. I am glad that I made a right choice. If you are in need of an attorney who knows the law and will fight for you, Mr. White is best around. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
