Compassionate Lawyer and Fierce Advocate

I was fortunate to be referred to Attorney Vincent White to discuss a thorny legal issue. While the matter fell outside of his jurisdiction and the case was an uphill battle by its nature, Vince was amazingly supportive. He spent over an hour extensively discussing options with me for no fee. Pr...ior to the call, he had researched a civil rights commission thousands of miles from his office as a creative avenue to pursue justice. He was warm, encouraging -- and consummately professional. He will make you feel heard and supported. While he could not take the specific case, he still put in the good fight. Any client would be supremely lucky to be represented by Vince. As a Supreme Court Justice recently told the American Bar Association, "I tell law students if you’re not used to fighting losing battles, don’t become a lawyer. Our job is to stand up for people who can’t do it themselves. Our job is to be the champion of lost causes." Vince is one of those champions.

Prompt communication, solid team

Vince introduces a tenacious approach to litigate your claims. Vince is a go getter and very well educated and effective to take claims all the way to trial. Vince also, is mindful of the effects these kinds of cases can have on an individual and approach clients with compassion and understanding. E...xpensive, yes; effective, absolutely.

Vincent Peter White is amazing!

Vincent White is a person that cares about people! He goes the extra mile! Fully understanding the law and standing up for folks rights! Helping folks to understand their rights in a situation and how the law applies to it. We thank God for him! Keep up the good work Vincent and thank you! Thank you,... thank you, thank you! Thank you for all of your help and assistance with my situation. I was feeling very beaten down until you gave me clarity. Your extra time and attention was truly noted and very much appreciative!

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, mon...ey hungry lawyers. If you are looking to retain a lawyer, do not hesitate to chose Vincent and his team!

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.

Employment discrimination issue

It is with great respect that I write this review for VIncent White, Esq., I reached out to him as well as other employment attorneys regarding my employment issues involving the ADA and it's guidelines. He returned my call promptly, answered every question and concern I had and never once during th...e course of the conversation made me feel uncomfortable, and also was not focused on the "monetary cost" of retaining him, unlike the others I spoke to who did not seem very genuine and continually mentioned the "fees" involved in retaining an attorney. I made my decision to retain Mr. White based on a few factors, primarily because he was genuinely concerned for my employment situation and was very knowledgeable about laws that govern the ADA as well as the EEOC. Unfortunately having experienced past "failures" with attorneys of course I was cautious and very selective. My case was very complex to say the least, despite the complex nature of it, Mr. White never wavered in his commitment to me to resolve my employment isssues resulting in a positive outcome. As challenging as it was, he always kept me informed, returned calls when he said he would EVEN @ times I felt so emotionally battered from the ordeal, he always "listened" to my concerns and addressed them promptly. In today's world, most people are quick to share their negative experiences, I feel so compelled to share my positive experience. This ordeal involved not just a job, but my career as a professional and how it was handled would have a profound impact on my career. Mr. White truly understood that and never wavered in his ability to to see it thru to the end AND with a positive outcome for me. Mr. White exceeded my expectations and epitomizes the attorney/client relationship. He will go above and beyond for you as a client. It is my hope that you select him to represent you, he literally gave me back my life !! Very caring, very professional, he is truly a rare find !!

"I have had the privilege of working with Vince for several years. I know him to be a diligent and extremely competent attorney who always goes the extra mile on behalf of his clients. Having referred some of my own clients to Mr. White for his legal expertise, I can say with certainty that Mr. White is extremely responsive to client needs, and delivers a "great product". He can be extremely aggressive when it comes to getting the job done, and I will continue to refer my clients to Mr. White in the future when they need immigration, bankruptcy, small business and corporate matters handled right."
