Worked herd for me - thanks!

Mr. White and his firm were very patient and helpful throughout my stressful and lengthy securities fraud case, walking me through the entire process. He led me through the mediation process and really fought hard for the best settlement.

I was referred to Mr. White by one of my friends. I had lost a lo of money in alternative investment thru my representative. I contact Mr. Whit to see if he could recover some of my loss. Mr. white was very knowledgeable, very responsive and professional in handling my request. He was able to rec...over some of my loss which made my expectations. I strongly recommend him to everyone.

Excellent Attorney and good guy to boot!

Dax represented us in a fraud suit against a large brokerage company. We had found his firm on the internet and made contact. We were impressed that his firm could handle our suit and that Dax had a thorough grasp of this area of litigation, so we hired his firm. We ended up settling in a mediation w...ithout going to arbitration. Dax proved to be very well prepared and was an excellent negotiator for us. You knew right off that it was not his first rodeo. He's smart, quick, and has a background in economics and law which we thought to be very beneficial in our negotiations. He didn't push us but laid out things for us to consider so that we could make an informed decision for ourselves and our situation. Dax is a hard working guy without a big ego--a perfect fit for us! We were quite pleased with Dax and the outcome of our mediation!

White Law Group - A Recommendation

I retained Dax White and the White Law Group over the past year in a securities fraud case. I found all of the people in the group to be honest, straightforward and professional. This group knows what it is doing and is able to communicate necessary information in a clear and concise manner that a...ppeals to this non-professional. Recommend the entire group without reservation.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. White and I attended law school together. He has an excellent command of the law and analytical skills to match. Thankfully I have never had to face him on the other side of a matter, but he would most certainly be a worthy adversary and require me to be at the top of my game. He has also earned a reputation for demonstrating the upmost professionalism and ethical standards while zealously advocating on behalf of his clients. I highly endorse this attorney."

  • 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.
