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!!

Custody of Minor Grandchild

I retained Catherine White after my daughter passed away unexpectedly. My minor granddaughter needed a guardian as her father had died 14 months prior to her mother. Catherine was very helpful and understanding even though this was an emotional time for our family she was compassionate and took contr...ol and suggested the best course of action and within a matter of weeks had paperwork, court appointments and an Agreed Entry signed by the Judge and kept me in the loop the whole time. I would very much recommend her as a wonderful attorney who cares about her clients.

Out of state custody and divorce - all by phone

I was able to have my case completely handled by phone, email, text and computer technology with my custody and divorve proceeding. Catherine worked well with me and I reccommend as any client shpuld, keep in touch and document well. Catherine White was fair, logical and gave me the ugly truth when I... was in a bad situation with my ex husband. She encouraged me and always showed patience even when I was in my amger stage of my situation. She helped my situation easily since financially it was a major burden to have to travel back and forth, luckily, I did not have to leave my state! I was very happy with my outcome of my family situation and her service. I would reccommend Catherine White to anyone in Ohio or out of state, but temember, you have to do your part as far as keeping in contact and being available. I appreciated her support and belief in me when I struggled so hard when all I wanted to do was move on and be a happy mom for my son.

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.

Divorce

Catherine represented me in divorce case. The moment I met her she was warm, empathetic and let me take the time I needed to explain my situation. She was honest and direct with me regarding my options. At the same she is laid back and made me feel comfortable. She worked to get me a settlement that ...was fair and reasonable. She was easy to contact when I had any questions. Her fees were reasonable. She totally looked out for my best interests. She is a sweet kind women full of energy. I would refer her to any of my friends or family should they need an awesome attorney.
