All around Excellent!

Ken came highly recommend to me and I was not disappointed he was professional, thorough, and very timely. Ken 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. Unless he was with another client or in court K...en responded backed to me in a very timely manner, less than 24 hours and in most cases much sooner than that. I highly recommend his services, he pushes hard for his clients to reach the best settlement legally possible for his clients! You will NOT be dissapointed. One think I did forget to mention his legal fees are very fair and reasonable as well, Ken does try to keep in mind to work efficiently on you case while keeping in mind of the cost to his client and fiscally responsible with his clients money.

Excellet attorney

I am very happy with Kenneth representation. I also made the mistake of hiring other lawyer before Kenneth, wasting time and money. Kenneth, with his professionalism, made the complete process easier. He communicates clearly, is always quick to reply to questions and follows up on the case issues dil...igently. He is approachable, explained the case in terms that anyone could understand. I was impressed how calm he keeps when the negotiation got tough and how well prepared him was to defend me. It really made me feel that I was in good hands. I highly recommend Kenneth and Mr. Shane, who also helped in my case. Both are very professional, honest and knowledgeable.

Hands down...The best Divorce lawyer!

I was served with divorce papers in June 2013. Through the advice of a friend, I hired a NY divorce lawyer named Allison Aplin who also practiced in NJ. I was told she was a bull when it came to divorce representation and after 3 months , I realized I had made a huge mistake ! Not to go into detai...ls but I was on the road to total disaster with Allison who did absolutely NOTHING to help me ! I decided to fire her as my Lawyer and through a freind who did extensive research on top lawyers of NJ, we found Kenneth White. From day one, I was confident he would protect me and represent me to the fullest extent. He immediately kept me informed and never had to chase him for information. He is direct and to the point. He doesn't try to manipulate the system and does everything by the book. He is extremely knowledgeable and always kept my mind at ease. His demeanor is calm , cool and collective yet extremely confident. He did an amazing job for me. He knew my case was difficult yet he never let me down . My case was definitely one for the books. Dealing with my ex was a complete nightmare.Yet, Ken handled my case with the up most professionalism. I cannot stress enough how highly I would recommend Kenneth White. He is worth every penny you will spend!

Best divorce Attorney in New Jersey

Kenneth White is the best divorce attorney in New Jersey. He is a bit pricey but well worth it and when you need someone in your corner he is the man to have. He is a fair, trustworthy, very knowledgeable and responsive attorney that kept me informed by e-mail or phone even on weekends. He has tak...en my case that another so called divorce attorney had bungled and had turned it around so I got a fair shake. The one attorney that you do not want to hire is Alison Aplin she should have not been allowed to pass the bar. He had shown me how to avoid paying alimony in my case and this alimony I would have to pay for the rest of her life which saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars. He providing me with a list of private investigators that I could pick from that were trustworthy to get the information I needed to avoid paying alimony. He put in language in my divorce settlement that if I lost my job and did not have the income, that I could recalculate my child support payments. Thanks to Kenneth’s foresight, because I did lose my job. The company that I worked was bought by a Chinese corporation and had relocated to China and I lost my job. Because I am close to retirement it took almost 3 years to find a job at half of what I was making before. Without that language I would have been in jail because I would have not been able to pay my child support payments. Now I was able to recalculate my child support payments and now my Ex is paying me child support payments as we each are taking care of one child.
