Outstanding Advocate in a Difficult Case

Recommendation for Mary Elizabeth White It is difficult to put into words how grateful I am for Mary Elizabeth White and the work she did on my behalf. During one of the most painful and challenging seasons of my life — a long and exhausting custody battle that ultimately went all the way to the V...irginia Court of Appeals — Mary Elizabeth stood beside me with strength, wisdom, and unwavering dedication. From the very beginning, she believed in my case and fought tirelessly to make sure my voice was heard. Family court can be incredibly overwhelming, especially when emotions are high and the stakes involve the well-being of your child. Mary Elizabeth handled every challenge with professionalism, intelligence, and confidence. What meant the most to me was not only her legal expertise but also her compassion. She understood that behind every case is a family and a person trying to hold their life together. During moments when I felt discouraged or afraid, she remained steady and determined, and her advocacy made all the difference. Because of her hard work and commitment, we prevailed in a case that helped protect my daughter’s stability and future. I will always be grateful for the role she played during such an important chapter of my life. Mary Elizabeth White is not only an exceptional attorney but also a person of integrity who truly fights for her clients. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate advocate. With sincere gratitude ~ Rebecca Michael — former Mastoras See: Mastoras v. Mastoras, Virginia Court of Appeals (June 10, 2008)

A Lifesaver and True Fighter

I can’t say enough good things about Mary White. She took on my case after I had been left desperate by a previous attorney who dragged my divorce on for a year and a half. From the very first 60 minutes, Mary gave me hope. She showed more interest in my case in that short time than the other lawyer ...did in over a year! Mary is a fighter, and other lawyers don’t dare to play games with her. That’s the recipe for a win—she knows exactly what she’s doing, and she does it with her full heart and commitment. In just one week, she completely turned my case around and got results in my favor. Her professionalism and dedication were exactly what I needed.

Client

Unprofessional is a kind word. She is a vindictive woman going on personal crusades to disbar other lawyers dragging out cases to inflate cost, going after opposing clients and has been arrested for getting into a fist fight with a court reporter. A complete embarrassment to herself and her clients.

If you want a bull dog in court, this is your lawyer. I fired my previous attorney because of an over willingness to compromise my child’s best interest in the name of parental rights (I am a father here), hogwash. Mary stood up for my child and me. Thank you Mary.

Amazing and Professional

I was referred to Mary White by another lawyer in Alexandria, VA when I asked him who he did not ever want to go up against in court and he stated Mary White without any hesitation. Mary was approachable in her office, and professional in court, she went above and beyond obtaining more than I had ev...en dreamed of. She cared for not only me but the welfare and happiness of my entire family. I would retain her in a heartbeat again.
