10/10

Wonderful person and extremely knowledgeable. Helped me a ton and would highly recommend!

Posted by Esham | May 22, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

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.

Mr. White is a fantastic attorney who knows the law and goes above and beyond to advise his clients. Would highly recommend him for complicated custody cases.

Service thats above and beyond!

We were referred to Atty. White by a close relative for a criminal case that my spouse was wrongly amd maliciously charged with. He immediately jumped on the phone and helped us every step of the way and even sacrificed much needed family time to attend our court hearing. He provided us re-assurance... and expressed genuine empathy throughout the whole process and we couldn’t think of a better lawyer to help us out during our time of difficulty. We highly recommend Atty. White for all your future legal needs - he is very competent, knowledgeable and a very easy person to work with.

Excellent consultation!

Mr. White effectively answered all my questions concerning the adoption and guardianship process, which enabled me to move forward in a much more positive direction. Thank you Mr. Menachem M. White!

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.
