Blessing

Luisa helped me after a long couple of years of fighting for custody back with my son’s father who alienated him from me for years. Luisa was always very responsive and gave me the best legal advice throughout our whole case. She knows what she’s doing on family law. Shes a true blessing. She will ge...t the job done for you. Very professional, honest!

Defendant/Litigant

I've met with numerous attorneys over the years and I will say this- A Real Attorney and some. In consultation alone regarding complex legal matters, she and an associate of hers gave me 4 times the amount of time than what they charged me for; on a Friday night! COMPASSIONATE, PROFESSIONAL, TRUTHF...UL, DEDICATION

Knowledgeable and accessible

Ms. White was really helpful in describing how to proceed with our case, including the various alternatives for filing and how it would be handled. She listened intently, asked probing questions, and took the time to learn about us and the circumstance. She responds quickly and keeps me up to date on... what's going on, what to expect, and what she needs from me. It's a nerve-wracking procedure, but having a competent, compassionate, and accessible attorney on your side can help. I'm well aware that my battle with this problem is far from over, and I intend to keep Luisa on my team.

Luisa Is Fantastic!

I hired Luisa to help me dispute a relocation for my children. We were under a tight schedule because of school start dates. Luisa worked tirelessly to prepare herself for the multiple days of hearings, subpoenas, witness phone calls, document review, etc. She was very easy to reach. She was extrem...ely personable and made me feel like a human being with needs and not just another client. She was extremely passionate about my case and I could tell she wanted me to win as much as I wanted/needed to win. She handled the whole process in an extremely professional manner. I could always tell she was prepared. When the judge finally ruled in my favor, the judge made mention in her court order of how prepared my attorney was. Even though it was an extremely stressful experience, I felt peace knowing that Luisa was on my side. 5/5 - I would recommend Luisa to anyone!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
