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.

Catherine M. White is nothing but amazing. When I first met Catherine she was very nice, helpful, and honest. As a father, I was concerned about seeing my child and Catherine made sure that I exercised my rights as a father. She never missed an appointment or a court date, very organized, and most ...importantly with her busy schedule she always made time for her clients. There is honestly nothing I can say bad about her, I would recommend her to any and all of my friends, strangers, and family members. She helped me with my case and did a great job with getting everything I wanted as father in my situation. Thank you Catherine.

I knew my divorce was coming from my wife however it doesn't prepare you to actually receive those files in the mail. I received mine after returning from a work trip on a Saturday. In a complete panic I started looking for an Attorney who could help me as I had moved out of state already and didn't ...have much time to respond. Catherine White was the only Attorney who returned my communication on that Saturday and to have her calming and commanding nature tell me it was okay and that she would get me through this put my mind at ease like nothing else could. I didn't worry again about my divorce and that's the truth. Every email, phone call or text message she was there to calm me down and tell me what I needed to hear not just what I wanted to hear. She helped me navigate what was a scary process for me. Even though I was in a different state she helped me get my divorce completed in Ohio. Catherine listened to me without any judgment and only after letting me spew all that I needed to get off my chest did she say it was going to be OKAY and that she would be there to help me. You couldn't ask for a more fair, honest and compassionate Attorney. I hope no one ever needs divorced but if it's anyone I care about Catherine will be the only person I tell them to talk to.

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.

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!
