Posted by anonymous | April 13, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

He will lie and not follow up.

He was hired and paid to file lawsuit involving a fraudulent sale of a vehicle. He would not return emails, calls or text. He would only after he knew we were upset. He even went so far as to say we won by default. After 2 months of asking for paperwork so we could collect, since he was not doing hi...s job again, we called the courthouse where he said lawsuit took place and they have NO record of anything ever being filed. We have contacted the bar association and another attorney. For 6 months he has avoided us and lied about our case. Do not trust him to handle your affairs!!!!

Restored

Attorney White is very professional. My case was handled in a very timely manner. The consultation was informative, I was given different options to consider, and Attorney White took care of the rest. He delivered the results expected.

Posted by anonymous | December 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Unfinished Divorce

Kevin White agreed to take my uncontested divorce and accepted payment in full in May 2016. He did the initial paperwork and delivered the signed copies to the Madison County court in that same month. Unfortunately, Kevin failed to do any more work on my case and failed to notify me about a required ...parenting class until I called to check in and make sure he was prepared for my case to go before the judge the next day. That failure to notify me resulted in a delay of over a month before we would be allowed to take the divorce in front of a judge. In the meantime, Kevin just disappeared. He would ignore my calls, texts, and emails for weeks before finally answering with a promise to follow up on my case soon. He never did. He also failed to return my money. I have filed a Bar complaint against him. He absolutely does not need to in practice.

Legal experience.

I have personally had to use Mr. White on two seperate occasions and can not think of one bad thing to say about his professionalism. Not only did I feel as if he truly cared about me as a client but I could also tell he was doing everything in his ability to get me the best outcome possible! I never... once felt rushed or like I was an inconvenience. Having to find legal help is not something that ANYONE looks forward to doing but at least he does a good job of keeping you informed and up to date on everything that is going on. Another thing I was impressed with is that I could call him after 5 pm and he would always be there to take my call. I would definitely recommend Mr. White to all of my friends and family!

Wonderful legal representation

Mr. Kevin J. White represented me on a very serious legal matter. I could not have asked for better representation. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and kept me well informed every step of the way. He handled my case very expeditiously, and I truly believe that part of the reason the case ...turned out in my favor was because of his outstanding reputation. He took what could have been a matter that would have dragged for many months and many appeals, spoke with the judge, and had it handled in the matter of an hour. I highly recommend using Mr. White for legal representation.
