Debra was a lifesaver!

I was in a nightmare situation and needed help fast. I was a victim of police misconduct and the officer accused me of a crime I didn't commit. I never hired a lawyer before and the criminal justice system was a frightening and unknown world. Debra was understanding and compassionate, and I could fin...ally sleep again after retaining her services. She went above and beyond to make sure no charges were filed. I highly recommend her. She is professional, prompt, kind, and hard working, and my husband and I are both grateful to her.

Debra S. White is not only an excellent lawyer but also a better person.

Debra S. White is not only an excellent lawyer but also a better person. One of the most remarkable aspects of Debra’s practice is her unwavering commitment to her clients. Her empathy and dedication to her clients transcend the typical attorney-client relationship, making her a trusted ally in their... most challenging times. I would say she is one of the best criminal attorneys in California.

Amazing Criminal Defense Attorney

Debra White is a magnificent criminal defense attorney. Throughout an uphill long battle I had with a severe personal matter. Debra was able to communicate to the justice system with what is true and what was not. She was able to navigate in a precise manner while utilizing laws that have passed rece...ntly in our favor. Debra communicates on a timely manner dependent on your situation and would never leave you in tight spot where you are left high and dry like most of many attorneys. I have already recommended her to a great family friend of mine which she has already produced amazing results for. Debra is really on top of her practice. I am happy to say I would voice or refer this law office to anyone! Debra thank you for all you have done for me & my family.

life changing

Debra White and her partner are AWESOME!!!!!!!. August 2018, I was looking at 30 yrs in Federal prison. I asked a friend can you get me the best of the best Attorney he recommended, Ms. White. I called her, and a lot of my fears subsided. She made me feel that she should fight for me and give me her ...best, and she did just that. I ended up getting a LOT less than I anticipated; my co-conspirator received between 5 to 21 years, and I received home confinement. She was the angel I need. If you are ever in legal trouble, do not hesitate to call on her.
