Blessing...

When i first met Attorney Catherine White she embarrassed me with kind words. She is very caring and understanding. She helped me to get through a really tough time in my life. I can say she gave me clarification on my situation and the steps needed to accomplish my positive end result. Catherine is... a great woman first and then a Attorney.

Ex Parte and Affair

Ex Parte was issued October 18, 2017 during my divorce. Let me be clear that at that time I did not know or had ever heard of Ex Parte. The order gave my wife temporary custody of our sons. I contacted Catherine M. White immediately for clarification. Under her guidance and questioning of my wif...e the Order was reversed as the Magistrate found no grounds for the order. I could finally have some peace of mind for me and my sons. Her technique in the hearing was “to the point” when questioning my wife and left no doubt that the order should never have been issued. Affairs are a sad reality. Let me explain how this affects the entire family. I found out that my wife had been having affairs for up to 2 years prior to the divorce proceedings. When she filed for divorce I was unaware of any of the affairs. You ask how can that be? The simple answer is “trust”. All of the sorted facts came out during our separation. The final affair with Mr. X came as a Devastating shock to our small children and to me. She had Mr. X spending the night in our home when she had the boys. We were under the 2-2-5 agreement so she had long stretches of time in control of our house and our sons. She blandly had intimate relations with our sons in the marital residence which has changed them forever. She moved the boys to Mr. X’s home which caused the children stress and unsure of their future. Don’t let Catherine’s kind and loving demeanor fool you. She is a bulldog in court.

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

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.

Absolutely wonderful attorney!!!!

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!
