Catherine Mary White

Let me start by saying that I would gladly recommend Catherine. I feel that she is an excellent lawyer and that she did a great job for me during the divorce. When my ex and I split, she took our son and disappeared with him. Even though it was the holiday season, Catherine was fast getting things... filed and got me an emergency custody hearing. At the end of the hearing I had a custody schedule for my son. Within a short time I had shared custody of my son and had him half the time. When my ex came up with ridiculous plans and reasons why I should not be in my son's life, Catherine stood up for me and ensured that she did not win. She called the bluffs that my ex made and saw to it that I, and my son, did not suffer due to her lies. My divorce dragged on for quite some time, mainly due to my ex refusing to even consider settling or agreeing to what was fair for both parents. As well as some mid-divorce changes in job situations that were less than ideal. Catherine kept in touch with me throughout and kept me updated on what was going on. At times I was worried that something would happen and I would lose my son. I was so scared that the courts would make me a weekend dad just because I am a man. Catherine kept reassuring me. She let me know that she would not allow that to happen and she kept her word. I felt so much despair during this process but Catherine was always right there telling me that it would be ok, telling me that everything would work out. When my ex asked for ridiculous things Catherine did not give in or suggest I give in. She fought until I got what was fair. My ex basically tried her best to ruin my life. She wanted to make it so that I could not afford to live or have my son. She wanted to make me a weekend dad at best. She even tried to have me arrested on made up charges. Catherine fought all of this and was there to reassure me during all of it. She did not let my ex get away with her plans. My divorce is now final and I have my son half the time. The child support that we negotiated is fair. I am not paying any spousal support. All in all I am very pleased with the results of the process and the role that Catherine played in it. In addition to being a good lawyer Catherine is also good with the outside the court stuff. I am a person who way overthinks things and has issues with anxiety. Catherine was very patient with my calls, emails, texts, and frequent freak outs. While she is a busy person she made time for me and addressed my concerns. Catherine does get busy, you will not be her only client, but she will make sure that you know what you need to know. She will keep in contact and if she does not answer a call or email right away, she will answer when she can. She will make sure that you know that you and your case are important to her. And because I know that this is important, I felt like her billing was very fair. I never felt like I was just a dollar sign to her. I got laid off mid-divorce and she understood and worked with me so that I did not go broke paying her during the time I was laid off. I felt her final bill was very fair and honestly probably could have been a lot more. Catherine fought for me and I will always appreciate that.
