Custody of Minor Grandchild

I retained Catherine White after my daughter passed away unexpectedly. My minor granddaughter needed a guardian as her father had died 14 months prior to her mother. Catherine was very helpful and understanding even though this was an emotional time for our family she was compassionate and took contr...ol and suggested the best course of action and within a matter of weeks had paperwork, court appointments and an Agreed Entry signed by the Judge and kept me in the loop the whole time. I would very much recommend her as a wonderful attorney who cares about her clients.

Compassion Profesional Attorney

Catherine was the most compassionate, professional attorney during my entire divorce proceeding. She takes a personal vested interest in her clients and always has their best interest at heart. She always responded quickly to my questions and concerns. Divorce is tough enough and I appreciated having... her in my corner through this ordeal. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing an attorney for domestic matters!!

Fog of War

Well I served in the Armed forces and was just getting out. Excited to be with my wife and my son again. I got out and moved in with her and her parents until I could get a job and our own place once again. Being reunited with my wife wasn't exactly what I had expected, no hugs, no affection, like sh...e was a stranger. Now I would work all day to come home with my wife accusing me of hurting my little boy. Everyday was the same, just another accusation toward me. This went on and on for about a year. She had started keeping my boy away from me, never letting us play together as a father and son should. Then she moved all her things out of our bedroom, and then I finally realised that something was going on, but I didn't know what exactly. After many failed attempts of trying to talk, they eventually kicked me out and my wife said that her and my son were staying. So I got a place for myself. I was lost, didn't know what to do, where to start...so I contacted Catherine to file for Divorce. I explained everything to her and what they accused me of. I just wanted to see my boy again. Catherine took my case for a low cost because she understood my situation and said you need to see your son. Oddly soon after, my wife filed a civil protection order against me. I couldn't be near her or my boy at all. I thought I had lost. But Catherine was there for me. She explained things, an guided me through everything. She focused on me and my boy. Eventually the day came where we had a trial on my civil protection order. My "wife" sat and told me how evil and horrible I was, and rattled off a multitude of outlandish accusations about me for over an hour. Then Catherine spoke up and before I even got an opportunity to speak the judge threw out the case entirely and it was dismissed. Thanks to Catherine I had won the Protection order trial. This was a huge victory for me. Soon thereafter I was seeing my boy a little at a time. Catherine continued to fight and file for me to see my son more and more. I went from not seeing my son at all, to having him for weekend visits, so that I could be a father again. Every time I had any questions or concerns Catherine was right there for me. This entire case took over a year, and she was with me every step of the way. Now with our divorce finalized and having agreed upon a parenting plan, I am much happier. I now spend time with my son. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone going through this situation. She's very fair with her pricing, has the drive to keep fighting for you, an I couldn't have chosen a better person for the job. Divorce can be very ugly, and confusing...but I couldn't think of anyone better to help you through what I'll call...The fog of War.

Recommend!!!

Catherine was nothing short from professional. Catherine made me feel comfortable and was very patient with me. I knew she had my best interest at heart. Catherine was so reasonable and advised the best plan for me and my children. I am very satisfied with her service and I would recommend her to any...one facing a divorce with children, I knew she will do the right thing.

Simply Outstanding and Remarkable Attorney who cares for her client!

First time I met Ms. Catherine was for free consultation of a divorce case. The moment I met Ms. Catherine I knew she is my Attorney. I immediately hired her to represent my case. I am so glad that I made that decision. I and my wife is going to a rough marriage and My wife was insisting on divorc...e papers, so I asked Ms. Catherine to make me Separation Agreement and shared parenting plan. My wife now refuses to sign the papers and wanted me to file a divorce in court and get her notice served. When I told this to Ms. Catherine, She was like not a problem let’s do it. Ms. Catherine guided me and helped me at every step to understand the entire procedure. She gave great advice, and at time even played the role of friend and therapist. Ms. Catherine is very responsive to my calls, questions and concerns. All issues are handled professionally and timely. She is very flexible and when needed she had also called me outside her business hours to make sure my concerns are addressed by her on time. Ms. Catherine is honest, sincere, experienced, knowledgeable, confident and passionate attorney who will always speak truth and will fight for truth. My case is scheduled for Pre-Trial and I am confident with Ms. Catherine as my Attorney, I have absolute No fear. Ms. Catherine is simply outstanding! The quality services I received at Catherine M White are remarkable. I'm Lucky to have to have Ms. Catherine on my side. Thank you for all your help, support, timely guidance and much needed smiles and hugs.
