Excellent Work on Shared Custody Arrangement !!!

Recently had a chance to work with Catherine on a shared custody arrangement for my son after a separation and I must say she did a phenomenal job. She is very good at communicating about the situation and that helped to keep me at ease. As a man you instinctively know that getting the courts involv...ed is never a good idea as that favors the women mostly (my opinion!!). However, Catherine assured me from day 1 everything would be okay and I want to give a shoutout to the fact that she fights so hard for fathers who just want to be there for their kids..I would definitely recommend her..Stay blessed !!

Yes

"If you pray don't worry, if you worry don't pray" this is what I'd say when things didn't go as planned and with working during a pandemic, while schools were changing from in class learning to virtual learning, Catherine was right there every step of the way. Some years ago I had the privilege o...f hiring Catherine to work on my shared parenting arrangement for my daughter; she did a wonderful job. I did not expect her experience and foresight handling cases such as mine to allow her to bring me such peace of mind when dealing with the court system. As a man I have always heard horror stories about "getting the courts involved," and living in Ohio Father's rights (seems to me) to be less than the Mothers. So when I say that all I had was a hope and a prayer because I knew nothing of what I was getting involved in I mean that, however Catherine was there every step of the way. Emails, text messages, phone calls, zoom meetings, face to face, however I needed to be contacted she was there. When opposing counsel was making things difficult, she went out of her way to ensure that things got complete in a timely manner which I truly thank her for. My experience with my case being handled by Catherine has been truly amazing and I am thankful that the City of Columbus has someone like her who is passionate about what she does serving it's constituents. Catherine White is worth her weight in gold and I would hire her again, for a third time if I was searching for a lawyer.

SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT CASE

My case was somewhat different in that it involved Permanent Sustenance Alimony that had been in effect for a very long time. It was very difficult case given the length of time. We did not go thru court and managed to come an agreement that did not favor either one of us, but, due to our ages, was f...air. I do not believe any other Attorney could have done a better job. Catherine is a very honest and compassionate person who seems to work 24/7! Don't let that demeanor fool you. When it comes to her client, she is a tiger, or better yet tigress, in negotiation. The best thing about my case is that I picked the right Attorney. I hired an attorney and found a wonderful new friend. Thank you Catherine for all your hard work.

The perfect attorney

Catherine went above and beyond in order to help me resolve a very difficult divorce. She made the process seem effortless although it was very very difficult. She answered every call that I put into her and I dealt with her personally especially when I need it to understand the process. She's very k...nowledgeable and helped me to avoid several pitfalls. I will gladly recommend her to anyone who is dealing with a difficult divorce or family matter. She cares and she gives her all. I am so thankful that I found her.

Smooth process

I can say so much about this lady, but I’ll keep it short and brief, she helped me with a divorce situation that took over a year! Although it was a long process Catherine helped me understand everything! She made this process so worth it and enjoyable! The reason it took so long was because of the o...ther parties lack of interest! I trust Catherine with all my needs and will be referring people her way if need be without a doubt!
