Former Client

Kevin talked good game but did not deliver! When I met him my completed case research and paperwork was presented to him in a box! All he had to do was represent and follow through. To date he has yet to return my requested files! He was paid and did not complete my case in fact he disappeard! ... I was vunerable and he took advantage. He is very deceptive. Kevin's entire demeanor changed as if he wasn't on my side anymore. He had an excuse for everything! Kevin's abandonment caused me much fear, agony, stress and more money! He knew I was an unsafe situation with the opposing side and didn't do ANYTHING! Kevin promised if I had any problems or threats to contact him immediately. Kevin went MIA he didn't respond to any form of communication. I'm still very devastated that he'd just take money from a client, not show up for court, not protect his client and then not even have the decency to face me! I never got an apology, explanation, my personal files nor my money back. But my detailed evidence and my retainer refund request will be sent to the necessary organizations. I'm sure he thought I'd forgotten or wasn't going to do anything. He needs to be disbarred! I hope this review helps to not cause anyone else that type of trauma.

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!!!!

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!

Kevin White

Kevin White represented me in my case and I could not have asked for a better lawyer. Kevin walked me through every detail of the process so I knew exactly what to expect. He answered all my questions thoroughly, communicated effectively and I was always able to reach him when needed. He was honest w...ith me about the weight of the situation and was able to explain to me exactly what was going on every step of the way, so my anxiety never grew due to feeling like I was not informed enough. Kevin was extremely professional and organized while also being down to earth and compassionate about my situation. During the court proceedings it was clear that Kevin was extremely knowledgeable, which made me feel more at ease on what was one of the most stressful days of my life. Kevin fought for me and was able to get the charges dropped. Kevin representing me was the best decision I could have made and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for outstanding representation in their case.
