Impeccable Service

When I first met with Catherine, (She wouldn't allow for me to call her Mrs. White) she spent a great amount of time with me giving me honest professional opinions on how things would play out in the end. I didn't feel like I was meeting with a typical Attorney. She made me feel at ease every step of... the way. I felt more like I was meeting with a family member that had a law degree. She gave me straight forward answers every step of the way. Not many attorneys will give you their cell phone number and if they do, answering your call is an entirely different story. Several times she answered the phone while she was at the Courthouse. She was available for me just about any time I needed her for reassurance. Most of our meetings were conducted sitting on a couch in a quaint office downtown without the stuffy feeling of sitting at a conference room in a busy office. She has a very sweet and caring disposition but also has the innate ability to put her foot down and demand respect when dealing with opposition. Clearly she is not one to be pushed around in a Court of Law. My case was very complicated and involved dealing with my ex-wife that was charged with an OMVI and 3 counts of child endangerment while transporting my 7, 5, & 3 year old children. It was by far one of the most traumatic events in my life and protecting my children from further harm was my first priority. She had a genuine concern for the safety of the children and my well-being. She often shared experiences about other clients with similar situations and it was very clear that she was very emotionally involved in those individuals. She takes a very genuine and caring approach to her clients. Her results and ethical approach when dealing with clients and opposition speak for themselves. I would recommend her to ANYONE. I can honestly say that my children are more safe today than they were a few short months ago. Thanks for all that you did Catherine!!

Compassion Profesional Attorney

Catherine was the most compassionate, professional attorney during my entire divorce proceeding. She takes a personal vested interest in her clients and always has their best interest at heart. She always responded quickly to my questions and concerns. Divorce is tough enough and I appreciated having... her in my corner through this ordeal. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing an attorney for domestic matters!!

Simply Outstanding and Remarkable Attorney who cares for her client!

First time I met Ms. Catherine was for free consultation of a divorce case. The moment I met Ms. Catherine I knew she is my Attorney. I immediately hired her to represent my case. I am so glad that I made that decision. I and my wife is going to a rough marriage and My wife was insisting on divorc...e papers, so I asked Ms. Catherine to make me Separation Agreement and shared parenting plan. My wife now refuses to sign the papers and wanted me to file a divorce in court and get her notice served. When I told this to Ms. Catherine, She was like not a problem let’s do it. Ms. Catherine guided me and helped me at every step to understand the entire procedure. She gave great advice, and at time even played the role of friend and therapist. Ms. Catherine is very responsive to my calls, questions and concerns. All issues are handled professionally and timely. She is very flexible and when needed she had also called me outside her business hours to make sure my concerns are addressed by her on time. Ms. Catherine is honest, sincere, experienced, knowledgeable, confident and passionate attorney who will always speak truth and will fight for truth. My case is scheduled for Pre-Trial and I am confident with Ms. Catherine as my Attorney, I have absolute No fear. Ms. Catherine is simply outstanding! The quality services I received at Catherine M White are remarkable. I'm Lucky to have to have Ms. Catherine on my side. Thank you for all your help, support, timely guidance and much needed smiles and hugs.

Great Lawyer but do your part.

Catherine White provided the results that I was looking for in my case and that is all I can ask for. Along the way there were some bumps, such as showing up for a meeting with opposing counsel that was cancelled and I was not informed but other than that I was satisfied. One thing that I like...d about working with Catherine is the fact that she is up to date with technology; documents could be signed as a pdf and sent via email People, cases are set-up to be won or lost before you meet your attorney depending on the circumstances of your case and I knew my case would turn out in my favor because of those circumstances. The first attorney I visited informed me of his fees which made me chuckle and shake his hand as I left, Catherine sat with me and my family, talked about our case, what we wanted to get from our case and our options to achieve the best outcome based off of her years of experience working with the courts. After that Catherine informed me of her fees and she was hired. When all is said and done Catherine is a respectable attorney and she works on multiple cases/assignments and SHE CAN WORK FOR YOU.

Experienced, Knowledgeable, Professional, Affordable and Compassionate Divorce Lawyer.

After calling several law firms and getting poor responses and some were even rude and just about the money. I decided to try one more law firm- The Catherine M. White Law Offices. And I was glad that I did. Catherine is a great Lawyer. Not only is she professional and knowledgeable but, she is also ...compassionate and has a bubbly personality. She made a very stressful time in my life peaceful. From the 1st call to the last she has been kind and understanding. She made it very easy for me to trust her and went above and beyond to ensure the best results for me. She understood my pain. One of the things that stood out to me was, I called her on a Saturday night and she picked up...she listened to me and she gave me sound advise. She was not annoyed that I called her outside of her business hours, instead she was overly concerned. This is something you don't get from other law firms. I know she has many clients but she still managed to make me feel like I was her only client and and always gave me the VIP treatment. I appreciate her and have great respect for her. Trust me when I say you will not regret hiring her. Thank you Catherine! God bless you tremendously!
