Top notch and helped me settle with the insurance company

Just left this at Google as well. I wanted to tell anyone considering retaining this firm is going to get top notch service and sound legal advice. I was researching a claim I had due to an automobile accident and Tess took the time to give me very helpful advice and I was able to settle with Sta...te Farm today. Cannot thank her or praise her enough. wish I could rate them higher.

Great Review

Ms. White was so kind and professional throughout my experience. This was my first time to do anything like this and I was very uncertain. She made the process so easy at a time in my life when I really needed help. I am so thankful I met Ms. White. She allowed me to receive funds for much needed... expenses. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help.

Excellent results

Tess was speedy, professional, and gave a comprehensive consultation so that I knew what to expect, along with potential time lines. This whole process was made much easier and more expedient because of her. I would definitely recommend her to friends and associates.

What a relief!

We're so grateful that a friend referred us to Tess White of White and Champagne. My mother and I were both injured in a head on collision in June of 2016 and we didn't know who to trust or if we even had a case. We decided to meet with Tess and were pleasantly surprised by how warm and down to ear...th she was. Despite the stressful situation, she made my mom and I feel at ease and took the time to explain the complicated legal and medical terms and ensure our understanding. I enjoyed how she related everything back to her own personal story and shared knowledge she had gained from first hand experience. She successfully negotiated with the insurance company yielding a significant settlement. Tess is the total package! She is smart, experienced, knows how to get the job done and genuinely cares for her clients.

Professional

Tess handled our car accident claim. We came to her right before the statute was about to run out. She made me feel confident that everything was going to be fine. She took care of everything for us and was very professional. Great job!
