"Directly after law school I worked professionally with David White in 2004 and 2005 while he was a young attorney working for the United States Government. Mr. White is one of the hardest workers that I have ever met. He was able to complete any task that was assigned to him and complete that task by going above and beyond what was asked of him to do. Mr. White was even awarded as being one of the top producing attorneys out of a group of several attorneys that worked in our sector of the U.S. Government. I have had the pleasure of keeping in touch with Mr. White after we worked together in the mid-2000’s. He has kept me informed about his professional career doing criminal defense work in Austin, Texas and from what I have been told by numerous attorneys practicing law in the Austin area, Mr. White is a top criminal defense attorney. As a fellow Texas attorney I endorse Mr. White in all any endeavor that he takes part in. -Dan Cherkassky"
