Custody case with Catherine M White

I worked with Catherine on establishing a shared custody agreement with my ex girlfriend. I had an hour long consultation, she accepted my case and was able to have it filed and reviewed by a judge in a reasonable time. My ex girlfriend had agreed to everything in advance, so our case was pretty pain...less. We have always had a good relationship so the process was completed with very little acrimony or spite. She explained the fee structure when she agreed to take my case. No hidden fees or extra unnecessary hours billed. REMEMBER: Filing fees are not a part of the attorney fees. She explained this multiple times. Here are some things future clients need to know: 1. Be prepared. Get all the documents requested as soon as possible. The longer you wait to get the longer things will take generally. 2. Don't let forget that your children and what is best for them. It is easy to let anger get in the way of what should be a peaceful process. 3. Things take time. The wheels of government turn pretty slow. Ask for timelines, she will provide them. they will be reasonable. Also remember that other lawyers can work at different paces, people can drag their feet. Be reasonable. 4. E-mail and phone communication can take 24 hours. Be prepared to understand that. If you send an e-mail on Friday night, she won't answer until the following work day. Catherine was competent and a pleasure to work with.

Absolutely wonderful attorney!!!!

Catherine is absolutely one of the most genuine individuals you could ever come across! Catherine was very direct up front and honest while handling my divorce and child case. meeting Catherine for the first time I felt understood and that she truly cared about my case and especially cared about what... was in the best interest of my child. She made me feel as if my case was the only one that she had. She always responded in a timely manner with my questions and always went above and beyond for me. i would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you Catherine for all your amazing work!

Divorce

This review is long overdue. My divorce was finalized last year, but up till that point I waivered back and forth about the decision I was making. That is one thing about Catherine, she will not misguide you. She will give it to you straight, regardless of how difficult it will be to hear. She made m...e and the family members I often brought around her feel comfortable and at ease. A professional and kind-hearted person, Catherine is the type of attorney that will have your back. One of my most memorable moments with her was when she called me and we talked on the phone for over a hour. Not only did I hire an great attorney, I also had an advocate that was on my side.

Divorce w/ Children

Catherine really cares about her clients- even more so, she care about the children. I loved that even though there can be many emotional/mud slinging aspects in divorce- she was compassionate and even though there was degrogatory comments being made about me, by my ex, she simply reminded me that "i...t's not relavent in court." While I still have to pay him alimony, she got him to settle and avoided a trial. I've worked hard for where I am, I was medically retired from the military, and the sheer fact that the person I was married to for nearly 15 years was simply after money in the end, I am free. My kids have a long healing road ahead, as do I, but even later that night of the final court date and the following day, Catherine called to check on me and see how I was doing. She's a compassionate lawyer that truly cares about her clients and keeps you focused on what's really important. God sent me an angel during a season when I needed her!
