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 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 be...cause 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!
