Catherine M. White

I just finalized a divorce that lasted almost 2 years. My divorce was extremely high conflict! I had everything including the kitchen sink thrown at me. I hired Catherine with approximately 3 months remaining before the divorce was finalized. If only I had hired her sooner. I went through two previous attorneys and they did nothing but take my money. Catherine was cool calm and collected throughout the entire process. Catherine was thorough and professional and explained things before they happened and also as they were happening. Save yourself time and money and give Catherine a call!

I hired Catherine for my divorce. She was very understanding and compassionate. She is very knowledgeable and walked me through process and answered all of my questions. She always got back to me with my questions in a timely manner. I am so thankful to have her as my attorney.

Catherine was amazing to work with. She was responsive, kind, smart, patient, and over all dedicated to helping. My situation was not like most. Not an easy custody agreement. Most lawyers after hearing my story and the work that would be needed probably would have turned me away. But not Catherine she made it her mission for the courts to see the truth and for me to get a chance to be a father. Many lies and allegations were told about me. Many delays (because of COVId) happened. And I was truly scared I wouldn’t get to be a father. No matter what they threw at us Catherine solved it. It’s like when your on a plane and you get turbulence your sacred but the pilot tells you everything is going to be okay and then you land safe. That is Catherine as a lawyer. She filed things fast, she responded fast. Again I cannot state how crazy my situation was anything that could go wrong did. Any lie that could be told was told to the courts. But Because of Catherine I get to be a father. My son gets a dad. I couldn’t recommend her enough. If you need help she is the one to call.

From the moment I walked in Catherine’s office she made me feel at peace and heard. She listened and gave me time to tell my story. She was compassionate and very informative about the process. My Divorce dealt with addiction and instability from the other party and Catherine made this process smooth and she kept me calm in the storm around me. She was very affordable and I never felt overcharged. She was so kind and understanding about payments as well and definitely worked with me. During the court proceeding things almost went wrong when my Ex was not being very cooperative. Catherine stayed calm and went above and beyond to make it happen. After the Divorce she called and said the sweetest things to me and she genuinely cared about what I had went through. I would recommend her over and over again. She is an amazing lawyer and an amazing human being. I truly can’t say enough about how she made this experience less painful.

I wish the original review I drafted on my phone saved, so here's a shot at it again. Undoubtedly - Catherine is a great advocate for mothers too - but this is specifically written for fathers. I was referred personally to four separate attorneys and consulted all four before retaining Catherine. Four. I am sure the other's knew the law and we're good referrals, but I didn't feel a connection back from any of them. They felt very uninterested in my matter and frankly, too busy for more. I walked into Catherine's office and minutes into our conversation, knew that we'd be a great team. Catherine was not only excellent at family law (as other reviews show) - she was an advocate through and through for me as the father. Understanding that I gave up my rights not long before we started working together still, she persisted with great confidence and when needed, unwavering guidance. I do not think I would have accomplished all we did (including avoid trial) without her extensive practice and knowledge of family law. It's confusing, it's not in favor of us father's, and it is mentally taxing which then can be physically damaging. Once on a path forward - I felt the weight of concern be lifted - this process is, A LOT OF WORK. YOU HAVE TO DO IT TOO (I am also recovering from alcohol and drug addiction). Before I couldn't even talk to my ex without extreme frustration and conflict. With Catherine's path, I felt that I had the confidence to begin to discover what co-parenting might look like. The Court's do not like these cases to "linger" back and forth, so you do not have time to sit, wait, and hope time will heal. It will not in this case. That's why it is required to have someone (like Catherine) who is educated well on the matter, connected (not in the pulling favors sense, but familiar to how magistrates will favor or react to certain actions and motions based on her time working locally in our courts), and a good judge of character. If you are clear, truthful, diligent, and really care of the fair and equitable interests of your children then you have found a perfect ally in the journey to settle whatever family matter you carry. I have -a path- to a future with my children - a path toward shared parenting rights, and an amazing future for my children, with me, their father in their lives. We're headed to a LONG weekend together this weekend, for the first time in several years. Bless. PS- [reminder] Just as a "consumer" of professional services myself, like those of attorney's - be respectful. Learn the importance of practicing mindfulness and patience. YOU are seeking someone for THEIR expertise, lay down your personal baggage at the door and let the person you are seeking for professional services do what they are passionate about and good at.
