Highly Recommended!

I can't express how much I appreciate Catherine White. I started of my divorce case with a large law form. I was thinking this form was a power house. That this case would be over real quick! For I had already done most of the work and had already planned my exit. No kids, less than 2 years married n...o ties. Well a year and a half later. Still in the same divorce case no closer to being over. With a zero balance at our last court date yet another continues. And having paid over 3k already. I was charged $25 per phone call and $75 per email just to tell me he hasn't heard from opposing council. I was done. My lady told me about Catherine White. I called and set up and appointment. We sat down and talked. I told her about my case and that needed new council. My case should been over and I didn't have much money do to my last lawyer. She told me what she was going to do. What she needed from me. My bottom to start and what it would cost if it wasn't done by a realistic time frame. One continues later, the next court date. I have my divorce! Catherine walked thru the whole case with me best interest in mind. Catherine thank you! Never change your heart! I walked in a client and left feeling like a friend. P.s I had to say this. Our last meet at Cathrine's office. I was feel good about life cause me music career is growing. I was not worried but worried about this divorce being over soon. Catherine told time out to listen to my music. Then gave that look like, I got this. Wayne

Long process

I filed for divorce with Catherine back in April! At no fault to her the process took six months to complete. Imshebwas patient and understand and stood by me the whole time. I was always a priority when she was with me and made sure I was getting exactly what I needed and wanted.

Divorce

Catherine was wonderful since the day I walked in her office asking for counsel. I went through a ton with my ex husband with abuse and knew I had to take things into my hands before it was too late. She guided me through a custody battle with our children. Whenever I needed advice she didn’t hesitat...e to give it and explained anything to me that made no sense. It took about a year but with her by my side representing me it all worked out and I couldn’t have done it without her.

Family Matters

Catherine was so much more than I'd ever expected from a lawyer. She made me think over what I wanted to do and my options every time we spoke. She was more interested in my well being, if I was absolutely sure before she finalized it all. I felt like she was more concerned with my little family than... making money off of a case. She filled me with hope that this didn't have to be forever. She shared her personal early marriage issues and made me think through everything. I couldn't be more thankful. Catherine, you are what a family lawyer should be.

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.
