Catherine Mary White

Let me start by saying that I would gladly recommend Catherine. I feel that she is an excellent lawyer and that she did a great job for me during the divorce. When my ex and I split, she took our son and disappeared with him. Even though it was the holiday season, Catherine was fast getting things... filed and got me an emergency custody hearing. At the end of the hearing I had a custody schedule for my son. Within a short time I had shared custody of my son and had him half the time. When my ex came up with ridiculous plans and reasons why I should not be in my son's life, Catherine stood up for me and ensured that she did not win. She called the bluffs that my ex made and saw to it that I, and my son, did not suffer due to her lies. My divorce dragged on for quite some time, mainly due to my ex refusing to even consider settling or agreeing to what was fair for both parents. As well as some mid-divorce changes in job situations that were less than ideal. Catherine kept in touch with me throughout and kept me updated on what was going on. At times I was worried that something would happen and I would lose my son. I was so scared that the courts would make me a weekend dad just because I am a man. Catherine kept reassuring me. She let me know that she would not allow that to happen and she kept her word. I felt so much despair during this process but Catherine was always right there telling me that it would be ok, telling me that everything would work out. When my ex asked for ridiculous things Catherine did not give in or suggest I give in. She fought until I got what was fair. My ex basically tried her best to ruin my life. She wanted to make it so that I could not afford to live or have my son. She wanted to make me a weekend dad at best. She even tried to have me arrested on made up charges. Catherine fought all of this and was there to reassure me during all of it. She did not let my ex get away with her plans. My divorce is now final and I have my son half the time. The child support that we negotiated is fair. I am not paying any spousal support. All in all I am very pleased with the results of the process and the role that Catherine played in it. In addition to being a good lawyer Catherine is also good with the outside the court stuff. I am a person who way overthinks things and has issues with anxiety. Catherine was very patient with my calls, emails, texts, and frequent freak outs. While she is a busy person she made time for me and addressed my concerns. Catherine does get busy, you will not be her only client, but she will make sure that you know what you need to know. She will keep in contact and if she does not answer a call or email right away, she will answer when she can. She will make sure that you know that you and your case are important to her. And because I know that this is important, I felt like her billing was very fair. I never felt like I was just a dollar sign to her. I got laid off mid-divorce and she understood and worked with me so that I did not go broke paying her during the time I was laid off. I felt her final bill was very fair and honestly probably could have been a lot more. Catherine fought for me and I will always appreciate that.

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

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.

She is so sincere has awesome advice she is all about her Clint she made it so easy for the tuff times in a devoice as a man as a father she made my self and my children feel like there is hope and it will all work out and it did I will recommend her to everyone one love how is made it easy less then... a few weeks painless and cost effective she is awesome

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.
