Catherine Mary White

Catherine was wonderful since the day I walked in her office asking for counsel. I went through a ton with my ex husband with abuse and knew I had to take things into my hands before it was too late. She guided me through a custody battle with our children. Whenever I needed advice she didn’t hesitat...e to give it and explained anything to me that made no sense. It took about a year but with her by my side representing me it all worked out and I couldn’t have done it without her.

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!!

Once I learned that my son had been a victim of severe abuse, neglect, and endangerment, I clearly realized I was going to file for custody of him. It all started when the boyfriend of my ex-wife died of a drug overdose in their home in front of my child. 3 weeks later my son disclosed to me that... one of the sons of the babysitter whom his mother had been taking him to for 2 years had molested him for the greater part of a year. I knew that my ex had issues but I never thought she would of put our son in harms way. And I later learned that she knew he was in harms way because she was aware that the oldest of the 3 sons that lived with the babysitter is a registered sex offender. As one can imagine, I was in panic mode. I spent many evenings after work searching for a good attorney through referrals and the web. And that's when I came across Catherine's website. Her site was the first thing that drew me in, and it did because I was able to fully relate to the content on her site as a father looking to gain custody of their child. Her site is informative, explanatory, and clear in her intent in wanting to genuinely help those in need of legal family law assistance. I called and we set up our initial consultation. At first meeting her, she was warm, inviting, and she helped put my mind at ease. After disclosing all that I had learned, we quickly moved forward as she explained the process, court proceedings/hearings, and what to expect as things progressed. We initially filed for emergency custody which we were denied. But at least filing initiated the process and it got negotiations started. As we pressed forward Catherine made sure that not only I was well informed in all that was occurring, she was available to me for any questions or concerns in a relatively timely manner. If I ever needed anything explained, or just wanted to talk, she was always there. Patient and thorough, Catherine always took the time to not only answer all my questions, but she always had an ear to lend. In over the course of 15 months, we had 5 to 7 hearings. Catherine was very involved with the entire process including speaking with and or emailing with all parties including the opposing party's attorney and the Guardian ad litem. She would always check in with me at least a few days before every hearing to make sure we were both well informed and on the same page. She always made me feel like she had mine and my sons best interest in mind. In the end, not only did she help me attain a better understanding of parents rights, I was able to also obtain a better understanding of the legal system. Catherine was always honest and upfront with me, even if it wasn't what I necessarily wanted to hear. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, honest, and passionate. It's attorneys like her who not only represent parents and their rights fairly, but she does it because she truly loves what she does. She was also more than fair in her fees as well. I am happy to say that I was granted full custody of my son. And I owe so much of it to Catherine and her representation. I'm forever grateful for her.

Catherine White is the most passionate attorney that I have ever had the privilege of working with on my case. My case involved me fighting for visitation rights with my natural born son. My present wife and I found Catherine and made an appointment to explain the case. I was fighting to be an active... parent in my son’s life. My son’s mother (ex-wife) was preventing me from being involved in my child’s life for ongoing 6 years. After explaining my story to Catherine she stated you have a right to see you child and you should be in his life. She went to court and fought passionately for me to have the right to be a father to my son. I strongly believe young males need to have a father in their life that loves him and wants to be a dad to them and so does Attorney Catherine White. I highly recommend Catherine White! She will fight for you!
