Donald H. White

I used this firm for a real estate closing in June 2025 as the seller of a property, since the buyer chose this firm. The transaction involved FIRPTA withholding requirements. During the closing process, the firm's paralegal asked if she could consult with my CPA regarding the FIRPTA requirements. I ...agreed to this request, not knowing that this consultation would result in $1,053 in fees charged to me. I was not informed beforehand that I would be responsible for these costs. After the closing, I contacted the firm requesting reimbursement, explaining that in my previous real estate transactions, closing attorneys handled FIRPTA withholding as a routine matter without requiring external CPA consultation. The firm responded on September 9, 2025, offering $200 toward the expense and stating that tax-related work falls outside their scope of services and that the CPA fee was my responsibility as the seller. I sent a detailed response on September 22, 2025, respectfully explaining my position and requesting full reimbursement. I received no response to this letter. If your transaction involves FIRPTA withholding or other less common requirements, I would strongly recommend not using this attorney, or else clarifying upfront: (1) whether external consultations will be needed, (2) who will bear those costs, and (3) obtaining cost estimates before agreeing to any consultations.

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!

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 d...ynamics 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.
