Car Accident 50%

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!

Very Effective!

I highly recommend Mr. White to handle your legal affairs. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed and always backed up his claims of contact with the prosecution with documentation. Mr. White is very professional and I was very pleased with the results of my case. He's a very fair and hon...est man and those are qualities that are difficult to find in lawyers these days.

I want you to imagine this scenario, ladies and gentlemen: This client, a resident of another state, while driving in GA gets a traffic violation that leads to an arrest. He found me via the internet doing a search for GA lawyers. We spoke over the telephone about his case for about an hour. We never met in person. His goals were to avoid jail time, avoid having to come back to GA for court, and, if possible, get rid of the charge that got him arrested. I contacted all involved officers and made certain I knew their version of events. I determined that there were no viable defenses to our case. Through negotiations with the prosecutor, all over the phone and internet, my client's case was resolved to his satisfaction- No court appearance, no coming back to GA for court, and the charge client wanted to go away was dismissed by agreement. I'm very pleased this client was satisfied with my representation.

Did a wonderful job!

From the first phone call, the appearance in court and follow up emails since, Mr White has been extremely knowledgeable and professional. He did everything he said he was going to do. I appreciated his candidness and wilingness to explain the legal process to me. I would definitely recommend Mr Whit...e to friends and family and would certainly use him again if need be.

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.

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."
