Posted by Eric Brandler | May 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Strategic, prepared, client-focused

I have worked with attorneys for business and personal matters for more than 20 years, and my experience with Mr. White was both calming and professional. From the initial consultation, it became obvious that Mr. White is strategic and prepared for combat. He displayed a genuine interest in the c...ase matter, and communicated process and deadlines so that we were always ahead of the curve. In the courtroom, Mr. White displayed a unique talent for simplifying the complex, and his connection to the jury and bench was exceptional. Mr. White projected integrity throughout the process, and his competitiveness really shined in the courtroom.

Recommendation

I wanted to take a minute to recommend Mr. White and his firm to interested parties. I was involved in divorce proceedings which are never pleasant. As it turned out the opposing attorney for what ever reason attempted to delay over and over again despite the fact he had made the original filing. Mr.... White and his team continued to say on top of the issue and because of his efforts and contacts within the legal system we were able to resolve the proceedings in an equitable manor for all.

Divorce/Custody

During my divorce I hired Todd to represent me. Todd aggreed to represent me even though I was in middle of my divorce and was not comfortable with a previous attorney working my case. Todd's assusances to me that he would work more diligently to a faster resolve gave me a comfortable and confident f...eeling. Unfortunately things turned bad and Todd was ultimately prepared for what ever was encountered. Todd did not allow me to be run over by opposing counsel. I was pleased with the professionalism and respect that Todd and his staff showed. This office was all about me and careing for my needs. Secondly after the divorce unfornate circumstances with child custody arose. During the dispute Todd and his staff worked even more diligently and confidently for the health and saftey of the children. Todd was very quick to file all apporpriate cases without hesitation. With his professional knowledge, careing and no back down attitude I am ultimately pleased to write this review. I can not and could not thank Todd or his staff enough for the calm and assuring attitude during my most stressful time! During both of the court cases Todd represented me in, and to gain positive outcomes, I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone!

Highly Recommend

Mr. White and his staff are easy to talk to. He made us feel welcome in his office and we never felt rushed. Having his full attention for our entire meeting with zero distractions was a big plus. We looked for a good communicator, not just a BIG TALKER......winner!

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.
