Don White handled the estate for my mom. Seems "ordinary" enough, doesn't it? You just look up any attorney, hire them, and boom.... have them handle your estate. Simple! How hard could it be, right? Before you answer, think about it for a moment. Because when met with circumstances such as the dynamics within OUR family, it was ANYTHING but "simple" for Mr. White. Highlights include: Lost paperwork from my moms employer... twice. A terminally ill sister who was the personal representative.... but was far too ill to perform the duties. A brother, who was forever waffling between "playing by the rules" and "burning everything to the ground" from one minute to the next. And myself... who lived too far away to really be of any help to the aforementioned sister on a daily basis, so I was constantly calling Mr. White.... and crying (how embarrasing).... on the phone over the whole sad and ridiculous situation! But through it all, Mr. White was patient, kind, and extremely understanding. Day or Night, he always called me back.... personally, I might add.... and always had an answer of some kind for me. I'm thankful to have had Don White as the attorney for my mom's estate. He is one HARD working man. I would absolutely recommend him.
Don has worked with me in closing on two houses. Both closings were by proxy and involved out of town lawyers as well. There were several delays on the other party's side, but Don and his staff kept me informed and current on all issues. He was great to work with.
I have a strong residential and commercial real estate practice. I have closed in excess of 10,000 residential and commercial transactions during my years of practice.
I work with a number of small business entities (corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and limited partnerships) in handling their legal work.
I regularly assist clients with estate planning issues, including the preparation of Wills and Trusts, Living Wills, Health Care Powers of Attorney and General Powers of Attorney.

Excellent
I found Donald Hunter White to be an excellent attorney. I used him for a closing on my house. His professionalism is unparalled. He is courteous, patient in answering the questions that I had, and efficient. The appointment I made was kept on-time. No wait time! The closing didn't take long because of his meticulous preparation. His secretary warmly greeted me. I heartily recommend Donald Hunter White for legal work. I plan on using him exclusively for all of my future legal needs including writing my will. He can do it all!

Not responsive to clients
I am in the process of refinancing my mortgage and the White Law Firm is supposed to be my closing attorney. My loan processor has been trying to get important documents from them for over 2 weeks and can not get anyone to respond. I can't believe they treat clients in this way. NOT a good way to do business!
