Jimmy White

Jimmy White is an honest, hard working, generous, solid attorney. He deserves all the positive reviews and awards he receives and more. He helped me with a tough divorce and continued to advise me for years afterwards while I completed my college degree and got on my feet. His office is professional.... He has a good reputation among his peers and the judges. He has a warm and friendly disposition. He made a positive impact on my me during a hard time and I cannot say enough how grateful I am for his help.

Wonderful man, to his core

Jimmy was referred to me by a family member. When it comes to custody disputes- this is arguably the most emotionally charged fight that an attorney has to deal with. Jimmy has been nothing but compassionate, understanding, and genuinely concerned about the things that are important to me surrounding... the well being of my child. He is extremely calming and nurturing in his demeanor. You approach him with terror and he arms you with confidence and facts. He’s truly on his clients’ team and has a heart made of gold. Having his legal expertise and guidance has been such a divine blessing in my family’s life. Thank you so so much to Jimmy and his team for all that you do. I am eternally grateful to have you. 10/10 highly recommend

Best Attorney

This review really will not even going to come close to the amount of gratitude I have for Jimmy White and his team. I would like to start off by saying that if you need someone that will fight hard for you 24/7, Jimmy is your man. I was involved in a custody battle with my ex and used a previous att...orney. After an emergency situation, I received full custody of both kids. My ex took me back to court and I decided to use a different attorney and that is when I found Jimmy. He truly is 100% AMAZING in every way, shape and form. He worked tirelessly to get me the outcome I wanted and he did. Shortly after, my ex tried changing the terms of our agreement and Jimmy went right back in fighting hard. He really does have his client's best interest at heart, but more importantly he helped my children and that is something that I will never ever forget. Not only is he a fighter, but he is extremely kind at heart and helps his clients. Negotiations starting stretching out more and more and everyone knows, that can be costly. Jimmy helped myself and my family out in that situation taking into account my finances so I would not have to pay more into the case. He not only looked out for getting me the best outcome for my family, he looked out for my financial wellbeing. He truly cares about his clients and that is what matters most. Thank you Jimmy. Thank you to Jimmy's team. I will never forget what you did for me and I appreciate it more than any words could every say.

No answer

Was informed by the intake secretary and that she would call me back an hour after talking to the lawyer. Never heard back from this law firm on my status. Would not recommend...

I have had 6 different lawyers, 10 consultations and finally found Mr. White. I am a detailed client with high standards and expectations. Mr. White exceeded those expectations with timely, accurate, seasoned guidance and representation. He is firm, fair, thorough, and efficient. He has developed... an effective team that works together and maximizes results. Could not recommend higher.
