Forever Grateful!

Jimmy and his paralegal went above and beyond for me. Jimmy is very knowledgeable. He and his paralegal were very caring and compassionate, patient, thorough, and very effective from the beginning until the end of the divorce process. I’m so grateful for their hard work and would work with them aga...in. Jimmy and his paralegal were there for me during a very sad and hard time. I am forever grateful!

Experienced representation

Mr. White is an experienced litigator who is able to quickly assess the merits of a matter. He provides sound counsel as to the law as well as strategy - and does not unnecessarily spend time on things that do not advance your objectives. Mr. White’s support staff are very professional, responsive an...d fantastic to work with. I’ve worked with Mr. White for 6 years and highly recommend him.

Character, integrity and experience

Jimmy is professional, courteous and experienced. He is timely to respond to all correspondence. He is well respected in the community and his courtroom behavior and respect far out-weighed opposing counsel. If you’re looking for a cut throat mean dog with a bone, Jimmy is not your man. If you’re lo...oking for experience, knowledge, integrity, strong character and one that carries the weight of your case on his shoulders to represent you, then I would highly recommend. I believe the attorney you hire reflects your own character, especially in the courtroom, and I was proud to have Jimmy on my side!!! He is direct, honest and guides you through each hurdle. He prepares you for trial thoroughly to help calm your nerves. His wife Pam is his paralegal and she’s equally amazing. They work endlessly and tirelessly on each case and I strongly believe they become part of each clients family unit - the entire staff at their office gets a 5-star rating!!! You won’t regret hiring this family unit to help you through whatever your family law case is.

The lawyer you want protecting you and your interests

Jimmy is an excellent and incredibly kind attorney. He patiently explained legal terms and options, protected my interests, and remained mindful of minimizing costs when possible. Whenever the other party became difficult and unreasonable, Jimmy shielded me from the drama and responded in his unflapp...able and no-nonsense manner. I am happy with the settlement we reached, and relieved to avoid the stress and expense of a trial. Jimmy and his paralegal (and wife) Pamela made such a positive impact on my life that they’re now represented in my home in “hidden Mickey” art. Jimmy and Pamela work tirelessly — and after periodically recharging at Disneyland, they return to Alaska ready to fight for their clients. I'm endlessly grateful.

Strong Advocacy with Kindness and Integrity

I can’t fully put into words how grateful I am for Jimmy and the way he stood beside me during one of the most stressful and emotional seasons of my life. I was facing a challenging custody battle with a high-conflict ex, and the fear of what that could mean for my children was overwhelming. From the... very beginning, he truly understood what we were dealing with — not just legally, but emotionally and relationally as well. He recognized patterns and concerns that were important to address and identified key issues and documentation I didn’t even realize would strengthen our case. His insight, preparation, and steady guidance made me feel supported during moments when I felt exhausted and scared. Because of his work, he not only successfully defended me against my ex’s motion, but we also prevailed on every request in my own motion. That outcome changed the future for my children and gave us stability and protection moving forward. What meant the most to me, though, was how he advocated. He was firm and strategic, but always kind, respectful, and compassionate. He and his staff consistently answered my emails and questions in a timely manner. I never felt like just another case — I felt like he truly cared about my children and wanted what was best for them. If you are facing a high-conflict custody situation and feel overwhelmed or afraid, I cannot recommend Jimmy and his staff enough. I am deeply grateful for his dedication, generosity, and kindness throughout the process and beyond. I will always be thankful for the way he advocated for my family and helped us move toward a safer, more peaceful, and more secure future.
