About Joseph

A native Tennessean, Mr. White grew up in Knoxville. He attended Elon University in North Carolina and graduated cum laude with a history major and a business minor. Returning to Knoxville after college, Mr. White was accepted to law school at the University of Tennessee.

After graduating from law school in 2007, Mr. White took a job with Young Williams Child Support Services. In his capacity as a child support prosecutor, Mr. White established paternity, set new child support orders, and enforced existing child support orders. In almost five years of serving Knox County’s children, Mr. White personally handled over 10,000 child support cases.

While he enjoyed the high-volume practice of child support prosecution, Mr. White also desired the freedom to practice other areas of law. Additionally, Mr. White yearned for the ability to devote more personal attention to cases than he could as a child support prosecutor. To that end, Mr. White opened The Law Office of Joseph H. White, Jr. in February 2013. Relying on his extensive knowledge of child support law, Mr. White's practice is in the area of domestic relations. Mr. White offers representation in adoptions, child custody, child support, and divorces.

In his free time, Mr. White enjoys spending time with his wife, two children, and dog. He also enjoys summer on the lake, playing tennis, and watching Vols’ football.

My husband and I, hired Mr. White to assist with an uncontested multiple child adoption case. He provided knowledge and counsel on what the process would entail and kept us informed with the status. The entire process took less than 90 days. We are very happy with his work and would recommend his services to others.

Wow

Posted by

I was looking for a lawyer to have my child's name changed to mine for years. My case was a bit unusual and there were not many people willing to take the case. If they said they would, it came with an outrageous price that I could not afford. I found Mr White and he was more than happy to help me. He did not charge an arm and a leg. While working with him he stayed in contact with me which was amazing. I also want to point out that he treated me like a person and made no judgement toward me due to the circumstances of the case. That doesn't always happen in TN. He is also helping to find resources for me in another aspect of my situation that he doesn't have to. So, to make a long story short he is an excellent lawyer who cares about his clients from the beginning of your case to the end. I highly recommend him if you have a family law situation.

Mr. White was such a pleasure to work with. All of my questions were answered in a timely and professional manner. On the day of court we were in and out very quickly and Mr. White even recieved kudos from the judge on how prepared and prefessional he was! I will definitely return with any future needs, and highly recommend Mr. White!

Outstanding Attorney

Joey did an outstanding job helping me through one of the most difficult situations of my life. He is very intelligent and professional and helped guide me through every step and situation that came up. Divorce is never easy but he helped so much with his advice & expertise. It was way above & beyond what I could have ask for in an attorney. I will definately use him in the future.

Mr. White was professional yet personable. He exemplified expertise as an attorney, and integrity as a person. Mr. White listened to my concerns, and advised me as to what would be in my best interest. He was thorough and truly went beyond my expectations in representing me and my case. His vast knowledge in law and his unique abilities in attaining positive results were more than impressive. I highly recommend Mr. White and would ask him to represent me again.
