Putting it forward

Merry Christmas! This has been a heavier hearted year, Even though my case is not solved yet, it does not change the facts up to this point. Brian has dealt with my in jail panic freak outs twice (too many times), before he got me out of jail very quickly (Thank God & my legal team of course!), so he... was present for me all the time inside, and I realized he meant it when he said he was not going to abandon me. "It's going to take a lot more to get rid of me" were his words to me as I sat behind glass angry at the world, and during the hardest time of my entire life. Having a lawyer who you can help them to help you by not having to worry about being judged is something that shouldn't be taken for granted. Having my interactions with Brian, I do not have to worry about someone not believing me or not believing IN me, and I get treated like a human being and involved as much as I'd like to be (in laymen terms if need be), and I know what is going on throughout my case and it makes everything a little less stressful because fear of the unknown is already stressful enough when you are talking about your life. Who wants to live with that cloud of uncertainty hanging over your future and your mind? Thankfully, Tonya cares enough to have done forms of talk downs during some of my phone calls when the stress was too much before and Brian has always made time when I was so scared. I am still scared, it makes just enough mental relief to really be life altering, with a team like The Law Offices of Brian White and his paralegal Tonya McKeown. He gets 5 stars for sure and I believe in them. Thanks Brian and Tonya! Thank you for spending your time, always answering, just so much more.

Great Lawyer

I was facing 3 felony charges and all odds were against me but I was referred to Brian a lawyer who actually wants to help. No doubt I was facing jail time and possibly ruining my life. He was able to work his magic and end the case with me getting a misdemeanor & one year of summary probation! Brian... is a very hard working and dedicated lawyer to all his clients. Last but not least his paralegal Tonya McKeown was very helpful and responsive throughout my case, if you are looking for a lawyer and come across these two stop looking because Brian & Tonya are the best!!!

BEST IN TOWN!

I wanna thank Brian for representing me in such a low point in my life. I dealt with a conspiracy to distribute case and it's haunted for me for 2 years. I was looking at 10 years, then it dropped to 3, then Brian managed to pull of probation on my sentencing date. I'm truly grateful for him and his ...assistant Tonya McKeown who's helped me every step of the way. With 28 years in experience you should look no further then to hire these 2! Thank you guys so much again!

Great attorney!

Brian and his office were really helpful when my son was arrested for smuggling. I’m in a town far away in a different state but they were able to get messages to my son and get us connected by phone (thank you Tonya!). Brian worked magic and got the charges against my son dropped! And trust me,... he did not have a strong case.

Consulting and Advice

Brian was very clear and direct. He knows exactly how to grasp any situation that one may bring to him as well as having the precise affirmative measure to take hold of the dilemma. His confidence made the situation smooth and quick. I would definitely recommend him to others.

"I have had a chance to work with Brian White and I can say without a doubt that he is one of the best attorneys I have ever known. The results he is able to obtain in his cases and trials win him awards because of the high degree of difficulty and the excellent results he obtains. Brian is the attorney I would call if I was ever charged with an offense and needed representation and I am a criminal defense attorney. Brian, and his staff, do an excellent job keeping clients informed of what is happening with their cases and pride themselves on being attentive and responsive to client calls and questions. When you decide to hire Brian White, you will be in good hands."
