Catherine Mary White

I was able to have my case completely handled by phone, email, text and computer technology with my custody and divorve proceeding. Catherine worked well with me and I reccommend as any client shpuld, keep in touch and document well. Catherine White was fair, logical and gave me the ugly truth when I... was in a bad situation with my ex husband. She encouraged me and always showed patience even when I was in my amger stage of my situation. She helped my situation easily since financially it was a major burden to have to travel back and forth, luckily, I did not have to leave my state! I was very happy with my outcome of my family situation and her service. I would reccommend Catherine White to anyone in Ohio or out of state, but temember, you have to do your part as far as keeping in contact and being available. I appreciated her support and belief in me when I struggled so hard when all I wanted to do was move on and be a happy mom for my son.

Catherine represented me in divorce case. The moment I met her she was warm, empathetic and let me take the time I needed to explain my situation. She was honest and direct with me regarding my options. At the same she is laid back and made me feel comfortable. She worked to get me a settlement that ...was fair and reasonable. She was easy to contact when I had any questions. Her fees were reasonable. She totally looked out for my best interests. She is a sweet kind women full of energy. I would refer her to any of my friends or family should they need an awesome attorney.

I was, at least initially, a very unwilling defendant in a divorce that was filed almost 2 years ago; the divorce was granted almost 2 weeks ago. I say at least initially, because I came to welcome the divorce, largely due to the profoundly nasty and irrational approach to the divorce my ex wife and... her legal team chose to pursue. To say that I was unprepared for the level of vitriol and the legal procedures involved would be a major understatement. I had no idea what to do and I basically depended on my mom's husband to guide me through much of the early stages of this ordeal and that included selecting Catherine White as my attorney. She was referred to us via another attorney and upon reading reviews for her, we opted to retain her services. Again, I knew almost nothing about divorce law or what this process would entail. When I first met Catherine, I was a sobbing, emotional wreck of a man. I couldn't accept the impending reality that I was losing my wife and my family as I had known and lived with for over 14 years. In addition to common and required legal counsel, she offered, what seemed at the time, conciliatory words of comfort, encouragement and predictions regarding the outcome of my divorce and personal life, that at that time, I couldn't even imagine. Catherine White proved herself to be an experienced and very knowledgable divorce attorney that was confident and deliberate when addressing my interests with the opposing counsel, the GAL, magistrate and judge. However, her guidance and counsel that transcended mere legal issues are what I am so impressed with and grateful for. Her words and actions were well beyond conciliatory, and she proved herself to sincerely care for me and try to help me get a grip on, and ultimately rebuild my life. She shared countless experiences from past clients and anecdotal references from her personal life in an effort to convince me that I would, at the very least: attain shared legal custody of my children; that my children would gravitate towards me; that I could and would "move on" with my life; that I would receive a fair outcome. I should point out that she never said it would be easy or that I would walk away from this totally satisfied, no "BS" from her, in other words. With that said, she and I prevailed against a very hostile team of lawyers and a vicious plaintiff that was hell-bent on destroying me. Moreover, I had to endure a biased GAL, who consistently represented my ex wife's interests by taking her accusations and concerns as fact without even attempting to vet their validity. I was stunned to find out that a GAL had the legal authority to treat conjecture and accusations from a hostile and disgruntled plaintiff as fact, which ultimately framed the GAL's narrative about me in a negative manner. I also did not receive, in my opinion, fair treatment from the magistrate who wrote our temporary orders. The temporary orders really hurt me financially and ultimately lead to the prolonging of my divorce. The magistrate created a scenario where a speedy end to the marriage was not in the plaintiff's interest. The eventual financial settlement saved me approximately $1,200 a month. Catherine never waned in her support of mine or my children's interests. Via her expertise and guidance, we prevailed against 3 contempt charges and numerous motions and of course, the ultimate outcome which went in my favor in every way. Catherine was right about everything from our initial meeting, all the way through the end. I will forever be grateful for what she did for me and my children. Catherine White is more than a good attorney, she is a very decent and compassionate professional who really cares about the welfare of her clients and their families. It is without any hesitation or reservation that I recommend Catherine White for someone who seeks counsel for family court.
