I'm fed up with negligent drivers and demand justice for my clients. I use medical doctors that can treat clients without insurance or up-front payment. I use companies that loan money to clients that help with case expenses, too. Demand justice!

Tim White got the largest settlement I could get!

Not all cases are multi million dollar settlements, in fact most are not. But that doesn't mean they are not just as deserved. We won my case against a VERY bad insurance company. My injuries were valid but not extensive and could have been argued that they were ore-existing since I was just out of t...he walking boot after Achilles surgery. What impressed me most about Mr White was that I got the attention like my case was the biggest thing in his career. He answered questions quickly and made sure I understood before moving on. He went into great detail sometimes, just to be sure I understood and was comfortable before I made my decisions. In the end he was generous with his fees and I felt he worked harder than what he got paid for. I didn't know Tim at all before this case started and I was never involved in a injury case before, But if I ever have a need again, He would be my first call. I recommend him highly.

One of the Good Guys

I first met Timothy White several years ago when he was a public defender in Pickens County, Georgia. He represented my daughter and he did an excellent job, both at that time and later. It was a complicated situation with a lengthy probation involved. When, years later, she violated her probation..., racking up separate charges in another county, we called Timothy White, who was no longer a public defender, but a private attorney. He was incredibly helpful and wasted no time getting her out of jail and into a facility and situation far more helpful to her in the long run. This attorney is not only sharp as a tack, he has a sense of who his clients are. He sees them as people, not as their crimes. He has an uncanny ability to understand the effects of the Criminal Justice System and its potential to rehabilitate, not just punish. He has a great sense of humor, which goes a long way in stressful situations, and his fees are more than fair. I hold him in the highest regard and would and do recommend Timothy White to anyone in need of legal representation or advice. He is excellent. They don't come any better!

The Saint

Last time we went to court with him for my wife the judge said don't come back again you will spend the rest of probation lock up. But Mr Tim had her out in like 3 hours I was prepared for the worst. There was a lady sitting in front of me who turn and said to me who is he ? He showed high respect f...or the court and said lots of times we respect you & your decisions. Very smart man & honest & affordable

Well, I truly thank the author (client's husband) for these kind words. He is a true, honorable American, believe me. We were fortunate to have had a judge, a former prosecutor by the way, that is intelligent and truly wants to do what's right in every case. We plead out this client's DUI, because the stop of her vehicle was warranted and the video evidence was indisputable. That was the easy part. Shortly after taking the plea, the client faced a probation revocation due to testing positive for alcohol in a probation urine screen. Rather than give in, the client correctly chose to fight the accusation. Her medical condition provided a valid argument that contradicted (at least confused) the state's evidence. Moreover, even if the judge disregarded my medical explanation, I offered what I felt was the best possible argument in that situation. I argued, professionally, that even assuming the client violated probation by drinking, quitting an addiction, like alcohol, is not as simple as flipping a switch. I reasoned that the judge should expect addicts on probation to relapse. I argued that the judge should release the client back on probation because she is trying to beat the addiction. As already mentioned, the judge did release her. A wonderful result for a man and his wife that deserve the best in life.

Accident

I was recently involved in a two vehicle accident and received a ticket for "following to close" which carries a $250 fine and 3 points. Feeling that the points and fine were inappropriate given the circumstances, I contacted Tim, who presented me with my options. After doing some research, he co...ntacted the prosecuting attorney and presented my case. Tim was able to get all 3 points dropped and the fine significantly reduced. In addition, because we did not need a court appearance, he reduced his fee, which was already very reasonable. If I need legal representation in the future, I will definitely call Tim. Many thanks!

Like many other clients, this client found me using an internet search. We never met in person. Everything I did was through telephone calls, emails, and letter writing. Folks, when you are accused of causing an accident, you absolutely need to hire an attorney. Pleading guilty carries serious penalties if the other driver was injured. If your insurance company doesn't settle the personal injury claim, you may be sued. Your plea of guilty is an admission of guilt and will be used at the civil trial against you. This could result in a verdict of money against you. Be careful of what you do when you are involved in an accident and you receive a ticket. Make sure your lawyer has experience with personal injury and criminal/traffic cases.

traffic ticket reduction

I retained Mr. White, for a very fair fee, to help with a traffic ticket I received. As a CDL A driver, it was important to take care of this matter, as quickly as possible, without having to plead nolo to it. Mr. White kept me informed every time he contacted the DA in my case, and was able to resol...ve the matter in a very satisfactory manner, without it affecting my license, and livelihood, and without having to appear in court. I would recommend Mr. White to anyone who needs a lawyer's help, and will retain him again if I have need in the future.

I want to mention something I feel is important about this case: This client found me doing an internet search. We never met in person at anytime during my representation. This case was resolved by me for a very reasonable fee by making calls, sending emails, and providing the client detailed instructions on how to make a payment to the court to the reduced charge. Keep on truckin' Dathan!

"Over the past 20 years of practicing law in the same jurisdiction and matters as Tim I have never seen a more ethical and intelligent attorney! His ability to analyze the law and legal principles then apply them to his client's facts and circumstances to achieve the best possible outcome is far superiour to most other attorneys in the State of Georgia. His litigation skills in a courtroom is phenomenal! As an attorney myself I would not have any doubts or regrets in having Tim represent me, a family member a or a friend on any matter."
