As a former co-worker of Ms. White's as well as a fellow family law practitioner in the Memphis area, I certainly recommend Ms. White for cases involving domestic law issues, including divorce, child support, and custody matters. She is licensed in both Tennessee and Mississippi and is well respected in both states by her peers.
