Excellent

This review should have been done a long time ago but this man helped me get my license reinstated. I moved to Illinois but had some issues and even have a little more issues in TX that I can’t resolve since I no longer reside there. He’s fair with his price and will do everything in his power to hel...p you out. I will be using his services again in the future to help me with a on going case I still have over in TX. He is absolutely a miracle worker and he is greatly appreciated.

Seamless and Exceptional

A 26 yr. old case resurfaced out of nowhere as I was facing time constraints. I reached out David and explained the situation. David himself got back to me immediately and made the case seamless as I learned about my options. The result, the case was dismissed fast, and David's representation restore...d my faith in the justice system. If you are seeking for legal help, call David, I highly recommend and will work with him and his team again.

Criminal Defense Attorney

David White was the attorney I just had the honor of working with, and I must say that the experience was excellent. David distinguished himself from other attorneys right away with his high degree of professionalism and commitment to my case. There is no lawyer I could have asked for who is more qua...lified. I cannot express enough gratitude for David's exceptional legal representation. His professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, and compassion make him an exceptional lawyer. I would highly recommend David White to anyone in need of legal assistance. He is a true advocate for his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure their best interests are protected. Thank you, David, for your outstanding work and dedication to my case.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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"

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.
