About Vincent
Biography
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.

Replied last November 06, 2018Thank 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.
