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!

Above and beyond

I contacted Mr. White about a year ago due to some business related issues I had and he did a great job. He was very demanding to the other lawyer on what my demands were and didn't settle until we thought it was a good deal. Since then he has done so much more for me, he is my go to lawyer for any ...legal advice. He dose his research well and gives the best legal business advice.

Thanks so much for the kind words. This client and her family are the people that truly make this country great. While business law isn't my primary area of practice, I was able to assist them with their needs after doing some research. Other matters that developed only needed some brief research and strong-worded legal letters demanding certain action. I'm so glad I could help and that they consider me their go-to attorney. Since the first call made to me, this client and family are now considered both clients and friends.

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.

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.

Timothy White review

My Dad has used this lawyer more than once, when he found himself victim in two different automobile accidents. What I appreciated most about Mr. White was his practical and dependable approach. We needed a lawyer, hired him, he did his job and kept us informed. So many times in today's world peop...le can't be depended on, but if you are ever in need of legal services, you won't go wrong if you choose Tim White.

Wow, thanks for the review. It's nothing short of AMAZING that this man didn't suffer much more serious injuries, even death, in one or both of these collisions. One was a tractor-trailer that hit him from behind while he was stopped. The truck was traveling at least 50 m/p/h. This client utilized my connections for medical treatment for his injuries without any money or insurance up front. Prior to retaining me, he used his private insurance and Medicaid at the emergency room. Once his case settled, I negotiated a lower payment to Medicaid than those that were billed by the hospital. He's doing just fine now and was an absolute pleasure to represent.
