Top Notch Lawyer

After experiencing a few lemons in Denton County, TX, I was fortunate enough to find Don White, Jr. to represent me in my unusual case. Mr. White is the most competent, professional, honest attorney I've ever met. He far exceeded my expectations. His reputation is stellar, he is well known and resp...ected at the Denton County Courthouse in Denton, TX. He gave my case 100 percent of his time and effort, and took my problems seriously-- under the craziest of circumstances. I was rewarded with a reasonable outcome that I could live with and avoided a trial with mediation. Mr. White is responsive, patient, returns phone calls, communicates effectively, and will aggressively pursue your case. He is not afraid to stand up to the opposing lawyer, if need be. I felt confident I was in the best of hands, and trusted Mr. White and his advice. I will always call Don White, Jr. for my future legal needs. I consider him my lawyer and my friend.

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.
