So glad I went with Jimmy White

I can't say enough great things about Jimmy. I have had 4 lawyers in the past and Jimmy hands down has been the most efficient and knowledgeable. He is prompt with phone calls and emails. He is respectful but stern when needed. He is great at giving you the big picture, not only what he thinks is bes...t but what the courts will tend to do in certain situations. He is very comforting and makes you feel comfortable in what you are trying to obtain with the court system. He does not nickel and dime his clients. I would and have recommended him to my friends and family. I have been so please and trust him completely with my case.

Fantastic Person and Excellent Lawyer Who's concern is his Client

I have worked with Mr. White in to separate arenas: 1.) in a Child Custody hearing where Jimmy had a compassionate grasp and command of the case, which left the other side’s lawyer looking foolish and belligerent= resulting in a ruling where I was awarded rightly so 50% custody of my daughter. 2.) ...Jimmy was so impressive in his performance at the custody hearing, when I had issues with my business; I naturally called on Mr. White to help in this administrative lawsuit which unfortunately will be a very large case and possible settlement. After seeing how he had handled himself in the custody matter, I fell 100% confident my business is being handled with the best person I could trust to bring forth my side of this case. As a physician, caring for my patients as if they were my family is a motive I strive to live up to, which I feel That Mr. White also strives to maintain in his business relationships with his clients as well.

My lawyer who has kept me grounded and sane thru trials and tribulations

When my wife asked for a divorce, and proceeded to do so in another country than the one I live in, I did not know where to go for help. I asked a fellow employee who she would recommend. She networked with a court reporter and their recommendation was Jimmy White. Why? They said he is prompt, organi...zed, speaks well and the judges liked him do to these and other facts. I contacted him and it was the best decission I have made in this whole process. He has worked with me on my case from a great distance and is always there for me. Even the little things are covered with him. He has advocated for me on many motions, some of them that I was not even prepared to defend myself against. He has had my back. I highly recommend Jimmy. He listens to your concerns, gives good advice and lets you make the call on how to proceed.

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...

Doesn't Return Correspondence

I contacted Jimmy Earl White both by phone, and through email, trying to set up a consultation for a commercial litigation. After reading his bio on Avvo, I felt confident that Mr. White would in fact focus on my "individual" need as he stated. He not only did not do this, but did not return a...ny of my correspondence through e-mail or phone at all. Today I finally decided to retain a more competent lawyer who in-fact would be focused enough on my individual needs to respond to an e-mail or phone call.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
