Very Helpful Individual. I Strongly Recommend Her

I had no idea about the system and Ms. White walked me through it. She was compassionate and very patient, yet extremely professional. I ended up going to her only a couple days before I had to appear at the court, but she took care of everything. Although, I didn’t know anything since it was my f...irst offense, having someone knowledgeable and trustworthy was comforting. She communicates very well with her clients and will show you how to go about afterwards so you can take care of yourself. Her professionalism is superb and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to my family and friends. You don’t need to take my words, but, please, go talk to her yourself.

EXCELLENT

She is an amazing lawyer. She saved my life as far as I am concerned. I visited many attorneys to get suggestions on how to handle my case and they all said the same thing with the same result. Debra had ideas that were different and quite good. She totally understood me and the results I needed. She... got me information about my case that I could not get without paying someone exorbitant fees. Hopefully I will never need a criminal lawyer again, but if I do she would be the one.

Brilliant DUI lawyer

Ms. White is a mastermind when it comes to fighting DUI's. I had a prior conviction for DUI when I was arrested for another DUI. I blew .22 on the breath machine and I was on probation in another case. I should have been sent to jail and had my license taken away for two years. Thanks to Ms. White'...s knowledge of DUI laws and relentless challenges at court, I never spent a night in jail and I was able to drive after just 6 months. Ms. White believed in me and she was not afraid to work hard. I could not have had a better lawyer fight for me.

DUI Savoir

I got Debra's info through a friend who she defended about a year before my DUI. The friend drank too much, got behind the wheel, and drove into a parked car. Debra got him off practically scot-free. So, I figured I had to interview her. When we met she was honest, pressure free, and offered me t...he cheapest rate so I hired her. From then on, she took care of everything regarding my case and, despite the fact that I was stopped at a checkpoint and the cops covered their butts, found a way to reduce my fine/charges to the CA minimum. Even now, two months after my court appearance, despite the fact that she's fulfilled her contractual obligations to me and my case, she's still taking care of all the misc. details and making sure I don't have to deal with the DMV. Debra's the best hands down!

hands down, the best criminal law attorney available

i have worked with a few lawyers over the years and i will say this about debra, she is without a doubt the most honest, hard working lawyer I have ever come in contact with. If you are looking for someone that will defend you with everything they have, be 100% dedicated to your case, debra is the o...ne to go with. in addition to her being dedicated, she is very sharp. I was facing a bogus DUI charge that it seemed no other lawyer wanted to take on and be willing to go to trial; until I met debra. Not only did she fight for me, she had the case dismissed in the criminal proceeding as well as with the DMV case. IMO many lawyers are out there to take your fees and end the case ASAP, without regard for if they are getting the best deal possible. That is not debra’s method of operation. Even though it took multiple court appearances, she got the dismissal. One last note, don’t let her personable nature and good looks fool you, when she needs to be she is tough as nails.
