Quick and Sharp Attorney!

I recently hired with Mendy for a time-sensitive legal matter. He was sharp and attentive. He answered my questions immediately, and guided me with the correct information and understanding. Very experienced attorney. I highly recommend him!

Highly Recommend

Excellent services provided by this attorney. I initially consulted with him regarding the circumstances relating to my case, and he assured me that justice would be served, and he could handle it without issue. In less than six months, he was able to have all pending charges fully dismissed. He woul...d have been able to resolve it sooner, if it hadn’t been for the lengthy process of the court system. Mr. White is extremely knowledgeable, and works relentlessly to ensure satisfaction from his clients. He takes into account his client’s needs/interests, and fights for a favorable outcome, that reflects justice. Highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice/counseling/representation, and will be referring him to future litigants.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Mr. White to assist my son with his case against the New York City Police Department. My son has never been arrested before and Mr. White was able to get his case dismissed. I highly recommend Mr. White to anyone who needs an attorney for their family law and criminal cases. He is understa...nding and hilarious.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
