Vincent P. White, Esq. - Vincent White completed his undergraduate studies at Le Moyne College and Nagasaki Gaidai University, Japan.  He went on to receive his Juris Doctorate, under Dean’s Scholarship, from The Hofstra University School of Law with a concentration in Corporate and Securities Law.            

Vincent was admitted to the practice of law in New York State in 2009, and soon after was admitted to practice in both the Southern, Eastern and Northern Federal District Courts of New York.  Following admission to the bar, Vincent worked at Leeds, Morelli and Brown P.C., a litigation-centric employment law practice where Vincent’s efforts lead to over $5,000, in verdicts and several hundred thousand dollars in settlements during his time with the firm.            

Vincent then transitioned to a role as Manners and Associates’ lead litigator and managing associate, helping to develop the firm beyond its corporate expertise to a full-service law firm capable of handling clients’ diverse employment litigation needs.  Vincent has practiced before the Federal Courts including the Bankruptcy Courts, both Civil and Criminal State Courts, the New York State Court of Claims and the State’s Administrative Courts.  In addition, Vincent has garnered settlements for his clients at mediations before the Equal Employment and Opportunities Commission and the New York State Division of Human Rights.

As one of the founding members of NYC Job Attorney, Vincent's efforts drove that firm to become the largest dedicated plaintiff-side employment firm in New York. From there, NYC Job Attorney has grown to practice in 22 States and has become a national law firm.

Extremely knowledgeable
Vincent knows what’s he’s doing. He is also had the best price out of everyone I tried talking to. His office settled my case in less than a month! Don’t bother going anywhere else, it’ll be a waste of your time!

Informative, supportive, and knowledgable
Look no further, this is the place you will get the representation you are expecting. It was during the Pandemic and I needed support, advice, guidance, and representation. His informational videos on Youtube lead me to his practice. From day one, Vincent and his team are truly impressive as they include you in every step of the process with impeccable communication and knowledge. They discuss cases together and I am a believer that it is wise to consult a team on strategy. I am very happy with the outcome and experience.

100% Reliable
I reached out to Mr. White as a brief conversation to decide whether to move forward with a Gender / Race Discrimination case and when he assured me that he was interested in my case, I knew I picked the right firm. Mr. White provided great service and communication throughout the beginning of my case and gave me peace of mind during the first steps of filing the suit. Overall, great experience with Mr. White and will recommend this firm for anyone going through Race and/or Gender Discrimination at a job.

Compassionate
I’ve never hired him as a lawyer although I have no doubts of how amazing he is. He answered a question that I believe is not his typical work out of compassion and care. I am thankful for such a kind man. If I ever need a lawyer I will come to him. Thank you Mr. White.

Selflessly provided prompt concise insight
I contacted Vincent with a query regarding an employment issue during a difficult time. He got right back to me on a holiday weekend and provided clear, concise and documented info that I found extremely helpful in guiding my path forward. I highly recommend this attorney as he is clearly competent and possesses high integrity.

Got a favorable result for me
Hired Vincent because I was scared of how I was being harassed and mistreated at work. I initially hired him just to defend my livelihood and survive. Not only was he and his associate Nina successful with this, they also managed to reach a very remarkable settlement with the EEOC! I was pleasantly surprised and extremely pleased! I highly recommend Vincent and his firm for any employment legal needs!

The best lawyer I have ever met
After meeting with a few lawyers, they barley listened to me and they refused to take on my employment case and even told me I had no case. But finally after meeting with Mr. White and his team he knew they were wrong about my employment case and he was ready to fight for my case. The best employment lawyer and team in New York!

Stand up guy.
Very friendly, knows what he's doing. I would recommend him to anybody who I feel needs his service. When searching for a lawyer he was the last one I called after speaking with a handful of lawyers that all told me they couldn't help with my case but Vincent was the only one who stood up to the plate and took a swing and I appreciate his time and effort

Awesome Lawyer
Vincent White is the real deal and not your typical lawyer. He is compassionate, accepts phone calls ALWAYS, keeps you grounded, listens to your needs, and only has his clients best interest at heart. Prior to my selection, I researched well over 30 attorneys who were your typical insensitive, money hungry lawyers. If you are looking to retain a lawyer, do not hesitate to chose Vincent and his team!

Response from Vincent White November 6, 2018
Thank you so much for these kind words. One of the things I have always noticed is that attorneys tend to fight and argue all day. That's great, except when it comes time to speak with our clients. That sort of behavior has no place in the attorney and client relationship, especially in our field where our clients' livelihood is on the line. We need to be understanding and supportive with out clients, but still ferociously fight the other side. I am glad to hear we are striking that balance, we always strive to.

Patient and caring lawyer. Professional.
Vincent cares about me as a client and he keeps his words to fight for my best interest. He offered professional legal advice throughout the negotiation with the opposing counsel. His team also worked hard to put together the files timely for the case.

Handled my age,gender and retaliation case
Mr. White was extremely helpful in handling my case. He and his team are always available when you need them. I was very relieved to know that although my case is concluded for now Mr. White would always have my back if some new situation arises. He cares about his clients and is always there when you need him.

Discrimination questions
I called the offices of Vincent White, my surprise was that he actually answered the phone and was very helpful in answering my questions and concerns instead of trying to get a consulting fee, he was able to tell me that at the moment I do not need any legal assistance, but if I needed any assistance he would assist or represent me in the future. He personal approach is unique and something I have never experience before with a lawyer. I highly recommend Vincent!!
