My Experience as Dan's Client

Dan White was represented to me to be an exceptional malpractice defense attorney. His advice to stall my former client's new attorney and just provide him his file - because Dan was certain my former client had blown the statute - got me not only sued by my former client but also got the State Bar ...involved. Eventually the lawsuit resulted in a walk away and the State Bar concluded nothing inapropriate had occured in my representation of my former client BUT Dan and his firm walked away with more than $30,000 of claimed fees albeit never having to file a responsive pleading in the matter. Dan even ended up billing me for he cost of the salad he ate in his office while he talked to me about my case - TWICE ! As soon as one year had passed and Dan was certain I wasn't going to sue him for malpractice, he turned around and sued me -

Capable and trustworthy law firm

I recommend White and Amundson to the fullest degree for my wonderful experience with their counsel and staff. Despite challenging opposing party, Dan White maintained his composure and always negotiated in good faith. Dan White was ethical in the ways that he interacted with the plaintiff and in how... he was honest with me. Even though I was involved in a frivolous lawsuit, it felt comforting to have Dan White's commanding and impressive personage. Mr. White showed great judgement in his negotiations with the plaintiff as well as myself. In the end, my needs were honored and my voice was heard, with much of the thanks being Creditable to Dan White. I would recommend his services, highly.

The absolute best in the business!

I was blessed to have Dan White represent me in a legal matter that was highly complicated and extremely emotional for me. From our very first consultation I immediately felt a sense of ease and peace knowing that Dan was handling my case. Dan’s knowledge of the legal complexities and significant e...xperience made me feel a complete sense of security through the entire process. His communication, expertise and ability to not only look out for my best interests in regards to the legal aspects of the case, but to also provide his wisdom and perspective in order to help me get through it personally, was priceless for me. I cannot imagine going through this lawsuit with any other representation. Dan’s high level of integrity was also exemplified in his communication with opposing counsel. He always remained assertive without being aggressive, and I always knew that he would do everything possible to ensure the best outcome for me. I am forever grateful to Mr. White and his team and wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

Excellent attorney and advisor

Dan represented my firm in a complicated and volatile potential malpractice matter. His clear guidance, acumen and ethics early on at a very critical moment forged the path towards an extremely favorable outcome. Dan also did an outstanding job of helping to maintain perspective by imparting his wisd...om gained from a long/successful legal career. I will continue to consult with Dan and will unequivocally recommend him to my clients and colleagues.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!

I am an attorney who has consulted with Dan on multiple occasions for advice on legal ethics situations. Dan is my absolute "go to" attorney on ethics issues. His advice is sound and he is extremely responsive. I give Dan a 10-star rating -- 5-star is grossly inadequate! My partner and I also eng...aged Dan and his firm to represent our firm when we were named in a lawsuit based on the conduct of a former partner. I have nothing but praise for Dan and Dan's firm's representation of my firm and his billing practices.
