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!

Woodstock county

Hey everyone, So I hired Mr. White as my attorney to help with a pretty serious case. Had no clue what I had to do, he sat down and explained it very well to me. He's a very down to earth guy and you can call him at any resonable time and he will answer. I had quite a few serious charges and we aske...d if he could get most of them dropped. Which he most defiantly got them dropped. He's one of the greatest attorneys I know. If I ever have to hire another attorney I would most definitely go back to Mr. White. To Mr. White thanks for all that you did for me man, I greatly appreciate it.

I have to tell you, this was another of those cases that, when you hear the charges, you say: WOW! this is so bad! I assumed this client was facing jail or prison time for this one. This client did so many things wrong that night and he'd willingly agree. It was one thing to drive that trashed. It's another thing to help his friend he was following in another car escape the scene of a crash. My client pulled his friend off a person's front yard where his car crashed into three others on the property, and left the scene in my client's car. But, for whatever reason, my client returned to the scene a little while later. By this time, police were everywhere. A description of my client's car was out there, and he was immediately stopped. What's worse, he was questioned by police and admitted everything. This case began in a municipal court. Due to my client's age, any plea would result in a license suspension. The prosecuting attorney was tough on him. I convinced him that a delay as long as possible was the best approach. At the last minute, we transferred the case to the State Court. That court, however, quickly had the case moving forward. After a great deal of preparation and research, an incredible plea deal was negotiated and agreed to. However, my client was still under age and still faced license issues. I had to beg the judge for one continuance and he very reluctantly agreed. He did this only after scolding me in open court about everyone wants delays, continuances, etc. By the time the plea deal was taken, my client was 21 and as a result, no license issues resulted. What an incredible result. This client's life could have changed, big time, had the events of that night just been a little different. He's lucky nobody was injured or killed (other than his friend). The client's doing just fine now and definitely learned his lesson.

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!

Posted by anonymous | October 11, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Outstanding lawyer!!!!!

After being ticketed with a DUI charge and a failure to maintain lane I called Mr. White. With these charges I was facing possible jail time, an incredibly high fine, suspension of license, probation and community service, all of this was heightened by the fact that I was also underage at the time of... my arrest. Mr. White took on my case, he worked incredibly hard, he made sure to keep me informed through emails and phone calls and was always there to answer any questions I had. Over the four years of working my case he stayed up to date on everything and never failed to show dedication through each passing year. As he worked on the case he always let me know that it was my decision on what I wanted to do, he gave me sound advice and then I made the decision to move my case to trial. When I moved my case I was aware that any plea bargain I was given was no longer on the table. After moving my case to a trial by jury he then worked endlessly to form a case, pages and pages worth of questioning were created by him, he reviewed the tape of my arrest countless times until he knew the video by heart. I always felt very confident that he was doing everything he could to create a solid case. Any time we had to appear in court he never failed to be early and prepared. With all of his hard work it was four years before we were up for trial. But soon after he told the court we were ready for trial he sat down and reviewed the case with the DA. After that meeting the DA decided to give me another deal instead of going to trial. This included me pleading nolo, and paying a fine, I would receive NO points on my license, NO probation, NO community service, NO loss of license, and NO jail time and NO DUI record. He again left the decision up to me, where then I decided to take the plea. With all of this being said, Mr. White was a miracle worker I wouldn’t have known what to do without him and his knowledge. I am very thankful for him and his time he put in pro bono for my case. I highly recommend him not only as lawyer and but as a upstanding human being. No matter what your case may be I have full confidence that he would do everything in his power to do the best job for you.

What a great client! Thanks for the kind words. For those of you wondering, she pleaded Nolo Contendere to a reduced charge of reckless driving. The two counts of DUI were dismissed by the prosecutor. That reduction came, no doubt, only because of my very detailed motions that had been filed throughout the case. Especially those filed once the case was rapidly approaching trial by jury. These Motions in Limine challenged just about every result and decision made by all officers involved. Had this case gone to trial, the prosecution would have faced just about every legal argument under the sun. As a side note, four years previous to the plea, at the client's first arraignment, I offered the prosecutor a plea deal on a reckless charge and he said "our office doesn't reduce DUIs." Had the prosecutor accepted the offer, my client would have lost her driving privileges for one year due to her age. Four years later the state didn't reduce the DUIs, they outright dismissed them both! The lesson here, folks, is never give up. Fight criminal charges aggressively. Make sure your lawyer is willing to go the distance. You are the one that ultimately decides what to do. Don't let your lawyer pressure you into unfavorable plea deals. Good luck!
