"Definitely the Perfect Attorney"

My case was somewhat different in that it involved Permanent Sustenance Alimony that had been in effect for a very long time. It was a very difficult case given the length of time. We did not go thru court and managed to come to an agreement that did not favor either one of us, but, due to our ages, was fair. I do not believe that any other attorney could have done a better job. Catherine is a very honest and compassionate person who seems to work 24/7! Don't let that demeanor fool you. When it comes to her client, she is a tiger, or better yet tigress, in negotiation. The best thing about my case is that I picked the right Attorney. I hired an attorney and found a wonderful new friend. Thank you Catherine for all your hard work. You are indeed "The Perfect Attorney".

"I got the Best, Most Honest Advise and I'm not even a Client!"

I've been going thru a divorce for over a year. I've had issues of my ex getting an OVI picking up our children, she's failed every drug test she's taken, and shes not having the kids go to school or turn in assignments. Due to the attendance, children's services is now involved. Due to my exs actions, I am also at fault since I'm the father. My divorce attorney is going to take the case (her advise) but she offered to speak to him for some pointers. Really sweet Women.

"Catherine White helped me make sense of everything and was always there to give me answers to my questions the entire way through the process."

In the beginning, I was very confused and upset with everything going on with my x. Catherine White helped me make sense of everything and was always there to give me answers to my questions the entire way through the process. She may not have responded right away but I always heard back within a day. My case was probably her longest because my x and her attorney would miss court and took around a year and a half to reach the end. I've never delt with an attorney for anything like this before and wish I'd have done it in the beginning. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Catherine White to any of my friends or family. And I thank you, Catherine White, for all you have done for me.

"Unparalleled Professional and Courteous Service!"

When I first met with Catherine, (She wouldn't allow for me to call her Mrs. White) she spent a great amount of time with me giving me honest professional opinions on how things would play out in the end. I didn't feel like I was meeting with a typical Attorney. She made me feel at ease every step of the way. I felt more like I was meeting with a family member that had a law degree. She gave me straight forward answers every step of the way. Not many attorneys will give you their cell phone number and if they do, answering your call is an entirely different story. Several times she answered the phone while she was at the Courthouse. She was available for me just about any time I needed her for reassurance. Most of our meetings were conducted sitting on a couch in a quaint office downtown without the stuffy feeling of sitting at a conference room in a busy office. She has a very sweet and caring disposition but also has the innate ability to put her foot down and demand respect when dealing with opposition. Clearly she is not one to be pushed around in a Court of Law. My case was very complicated and involved dealing with my ex-wife that was charged with an OMVI and 3 counts of child endangerment while transporting my 7, 5, & 3 year old children. It was by far one of the most traumatic events in my life and protecting my children from further harm was my first priority. She had a genuine concern for the safety of the children and my well-being. She often shared experiences about other clients with similar situations and it was very clear that she was very emotionally involved in those individuals. She takes a very genuine and caring approach to her clients. Her results and ethical approach when dealing with clients and opposition speak for themselves. I would recommend her to ANYONE. I can honestly say that my children are more safe today than they were a few short months ago. Thanks for all that you did Catherine!!

"I would very much recommend her as a wonderful attorney who cares about her clients."

I retained Catherine White after my daughter passed away unexpectedly. My minor granddaughter needed a guardian as her father had died 14 months prior to her mother. Catherine was very helpful and understanding even though this was an emotional time for our family she was compassionate and took control and suggested the best course of action and within a matter of weeks had paperwork, court appointments and an Agreed Entry signed by the Judge and kept me in the loop the whole time. I would very much recommend her as a wonderful attorney who cares about her clients.

"She's very fair with her pricing, has the drive to keep fighting for you, an I couldn't have chosen a better person for the job."

Well I served in the Armed forces and was just getting out. Excited to be with my wife and my son again. I got out and moved in with her and her parents until I could get a job and our own place once again. Being reunited with my wife wasn't exactly what I had expected, no hugs, no affection, like she was a stranger. Now I would work all day to come home with my wife accusing me of hurting my little boy. Everyday was the same, just another accusation toward me. This went on and on for about a year. She had started keeping my boy away from me, never letting us play together as a father and son should. Then she moved all her things out of our bedroom, and then I finally realised that something was going on, but I didn't know what exactly. After many failed attempts of trying to talk, they eventually kicked me out and my wife said that her and my son were staying. So I got a place for myself. I was lost, didn't know what to do, where to start...so I contacted Catherine to file for Divorce. I explained everything to her and what they accused me of. I just wanted to see my boy again. Catherine took my case for a low cost because she understood my situation and said you need to see your son. Oddly soon after, my wife filed a civil protection order against me. I couldn't be near her or my boy at all. I thought I had lost. But Catherine was there for me. She explained things, an guided me through everything. She focused on me and my boy. Eventually the day came where we had a trial on my civil protection order. My "wife" sat and told me how evil and horrible I was, and rattled off a multitude of outlandish accusations about me for over an hour. Then Catherine spoke up and before I even got an opportunity to speak the judge threw out the case entirely and it was dismissed. Thanks to Catherine I had won the Protection order trial. This was a huge victory for me. Soon thereafter I was seeing my boy a little at a time. Catherine continued to fight and file for me to see my son more and more. I went from not seeing my son at all, to having him for weekend visits, so that I could be a father again. Every time I had any questions or concerns Catherine was right there for me. This entire case took over a year, and she was with me every step of the way. Now with our divorce finalized and having agreed upon a parenting plan, I am much happier. I now spend time with my son. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone going through this situation. She's very fair with her pricing, has the drive to keep fighting for you, an I couldn't have chosen a better person for the job. Divorce can be very ugly, and confusing...but I couldn't think of anyone better to help you through what I'll call...The fog of War.

When I say my case was a difficult case, it's an understatement any way you take it. She was very reasonable in price, an honestly I could never pay her enough. I did not treat her well and she showed up to save the day time and time again. I would recommend her to everyone who asks me for a good divorce lawyer. Catherine cares about me as a person and not just a client. I found myself in a situation where my wife moved another man into my house and now I have my daughter and they are out. She is awesome.

"Ms. Catherine is an honest, sincere, experienced, knowledgeable, confident and passionate attorney who will always speak the truth and will fight for truth."

First time I met Ms. Catherine was for free consultation of a divorce case. The moment I met Ms. Catherine I knew she is my Attorney. I immediately hired her to represent my case. I am so glad that I made that decision. I and my wife is going to a rough marriage and My wife was insisting on divorce papers, so I asked Ms. Catherine to make me Separation Agreement and shared parenting plan. My wife now refuses to sign the papers and wanted me to file a divorce in court and get her notice served. When I told this to Ms. Catherine, She was like not a problem let’s do it. Ms. Catherine guided me and helped me at every step to understand the entire procedure. She gave great advice, and at time even played the role of friend and therapist. Ms. Catherine is very responsive to my calls, questions and concerns. All issues are handled professionally and timely. She is very flexible and when needed she had also called me outside her business hours to make sure my concerns are addressed by her on time. Ms. Catherine is an honest, sincere, experienced, knowledgeable, confident and passionate attorney who will always speak the truth and will fight for truth. My case is scheduled for Pre-Trial and I am confident with Ms. Catherine as my Attorney, I have absolute No fear. Ms. Catherine is simply outstanding! The quality services I received at Catherine M White are remarkable. I'm Lucky to have to have Ms. Catherine on my side. Thank you for all your help, support, timely guidance and much-needed smiles and hugs.

"I appreciated her support and belief in me when I struggled so hard"

I was able to have my case completely handled by phone, email, text and computer technology with my custody and divorce proceeding. Catherine worked well with me and I recommend as any client should keep in touch and document well. Catherine White was fair, logical and gave me the ugly truth when I was in a bad situation with my ex-husband. She encouraged me and always showed patience even when I was in the anger stage of my situation. She helped my situation easily since financially it was a major burden to have to travel back and forth, luckily, I did not have to leave my state! I was very happy with the outcome of my family situation and her service. I would recommend Catherine White to anyone in Ohio or out of state, but remember, you have to do your part as far as keeping in contact and being available. I appreciated her support and belief in me when I struggled so hard when all I wanted to do was move on and be a happy mom for my son.

"Experienced, Knowledgeable, Professional, Affordable and Compassionate Divorce Lawyer"

After calling several law firms and getting poor responses and some were even rude and just about the money. I decided to try one more law firm- The Catherine M. White Law Offices. And I was glad that I did. Catherine is a great Lawyer. Not only is she professional and knowledgeable but, she is also compassionate and has a bubbly personality. She made a very stressful time in my life peaceful. From the 1st call to the last she has been kind and understanding. She made it very easy for me to trust her and went above and beyond to ensure the best results for me. She understood my pain. One of the things that stood out to me was, I called her on a Saturday night and she picked up...she listened to me and she gave me sound advise. She was not annoyed that I called her outside of her business hours, instead she was overly concerned. This is something you don't get from other law firms. I know she has many clients but she still managed to make me feel like I was her only client and and always gave me the VIP treatment. I appreciate her and have great respect for her. Trust me when I say you will not regret hiring her. Thank you Catherine! God bless you tremendously!

"Catherine was always honest and upfront with me, even if it wasn't what I necessarily wanted to hear. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, honest, and passionate."

Once I learned that my son had been a victim of severe abuse, neglect, and endangerment, I clearly realized I was going to file for custody of him. It all started when the boyfriend of my ex-wife died of a drug overdose in their home in front of my child. 3 weeks later my son disclosed to me that one of the sons of the babysitter whom his mother had been taking him to for 2 years had molested him for the greater part of a year. I knew that my ex had issues but I never thought she would of put our son in harms way. And I later learned that she knew he was in harms way because she was aware that the oldest of the 3 sons that lived with the babysitter is a registered sex offender. As one can imagine, I was in panic mode. I spent many evenings after work searching for a good attorney through referrals and the web. And that's when I came across Catherine's website. Her site was the first thing that drew me in, and it did because I was able to fully relate to the content on her site as a father looking to gain custody of their child. Her site is informative, explanatory, and clear in her intent in wanting to genuinely help those in need of legal family law assistance. I called and we set up our initial consultation. At first meeting her, she was warm, inviting, and she helped put my mind at ease. After disclosing all that I had learned, we quickly moved forward as she explained the process, court proceedings/hearings, and what to expect as things progressed. We initially filed for emergency custody which we were denied. But at least filing initiated the process and it got negotiations started. As we pressed forward Catherine made sure that not only I was well informed in all that was occurring, she was available to me for any questions or concerns in a relatively timely manner. If I ever needed anything explained, or just wanted to talk, she was always there. Patient and thorough, Catherine always took the time to not only answer all my questions, but she always had an ear to lend. In over the course of 15 months, we had 5 to 7 hearings. Catherine was very involved with the entire process including speaking with and or emailing with all parties including the opposing party's attorney and the Guardian ad litem. She would always check in with me at least a few days before every hearing to make sure we were both well informed and on the same page. She always made me feel like she had mine and my sons best interest in mind. In the end, not only did she help me attain a better understanding of parents rights, I was able to also obtain a better understanding of the legal system. Catherine was always honest and upfront with me, even if it wasn't what I necessarily wanted to hear. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, honest, and passionate. It's attorneys like her who not only represent parents and their rights fairly, but she does it because she truly loves what she does. She was also more than fair in her fees as well. I am happy to say that I was granted full custody of my son. And I owe so much of it to Catherine and her representation. I'm forever grateful for her.

"Catherine White is more than a good attorney, she is a very decent and compassionate professional who really cares about the welfare of her clients and their families."

I was, at least initially, a very unwilling defendant in a divorce that was filed almost 2 years ago; the divorce was granted almost 2 weeks ago. I say at least initially, because I came to welcome the divorce, largely due to the profoundly nasty and irrational approach to the divorce my ex wife and her legal team chose to pursue. To say that I was unprepared for the level of vitriol and the legal procedures involved would be a major understatement. I had no idea what to do and I basically depended on my mom's husband to guide me through much of the early stages of this ordeal and that included selecting Catherine White as my attorney. She was referred to us via another attorney and upon reading reviews for her, we opted to retain her services. Again, I knew almost nothing about divorce law or what this process would entail. When I first met Catherine, I was a sobbing, emotional wreck of a man. I couldn't accept the impending reality that I was losing my wife and my family as I had known and lived with for over 14 years. In addition to common and required legal counsel, she offered, what seemed at the time, conciliatory words of comfort, encouragement and predictions regarding the outcome of my divorce and personal life, that at that time, I couldn't even imagine. Catherine White proved herself to be an experienced and very knowledgable divorce attorney that was confident and deliberate when addressing my interests with the opposing counsel, the GAL, magistrate and judge. However, her guidance and counsel that transcended mere legal issues are what I am so impressed with and grateful for. Her words and actions were well beyond conciliatory, and she proved herself to sincerely care for me and try to help me get a grip on, and ultimately rebuild my life. She shared countless experiences from past clients and anecdotal references from her personal life in an effort to convince me that I would, at the very least: attain shared legal custody of my children; that my children would gravitate towards me; that I could and would "move on" with my life; that I would receive a fair outcome. I should point out that she never said it would be easy or that I would walk away from this totally satisfied, no "BS" from her, in other words. With that said, she and I prevailed against a very hostile team of lawyers and a vicious plaintiff that was hell-bent on destroying me. Moreover, I had to endure a biased GAL, who consistently represented my ex wife's interests by taking her accusations and concerns as fact without even attempting to vet their validity. I was stunned to find out that a GAL had the legal authority to treat conjecture and accusations from a hostile and disgruntled plaintiff as fact, which ultimately framed the GAL's narrative about me in a negative manner. I also did not receive, in my opinion, fair treatment from the magistrate who wrote our temporary orders. The temporary orders really hurt me financially and ultimately lead to the prolonging of my divorce. The magistrate created a scenario where a speedy end to the marriage was not in the plaintiff's interest. The eventual financial settlement saved me approximately $1,200 a month. Catherine never waned in her support of mine or my children's interests. Via her expertise and guidance, we prevailed against 3 contempt charges and numerous motions and of course, the ultimate outcome which went in my favor in every way. Catherine was right about everything from our initial meeting, all the way through the end. I will forever be grateful for what she did for me and my children. Catherine White is more than a good attorney, she is a very decent and compassionate professional who really cares about the welfare of her clients and their families. It is without any hesitation or reservation that I recommend Catherine White for someone who seeks counsel for family court.

"Catherine White is the most passionate attorney that I have ever had the privilege of working with on my case."

Catherine White is the most passionate attorney that I have ever had the privilege of working with on my case. My case involved me fighting for visitation rights with my natural born son. My present wife and I found Catherine and made an appointment to explain the case. I was fighting to be an active parent in my son’s life. My son’s mother (ex-wife) was preventing me from being involved in my child’s life for ongoing 6 years. After explaining my story to Catherine she stated you have a right to see you child and you should be in his life. She went to court and fought passionately for me to have the right to be a father to my son. I strongly believe young males need to have a father in their life that loves him and wants to be a dad to them and so does Attorney Catherine White. I highly recommend Catherine White! She will fight for you!

"She is a hard-working attorney that prides herself in providing good sound legal representation at a very reasonable price."

We have hired and rehired Ms. Catherine White a total of 3 times over the course of 8 years to represent us regarding our granddaughter. Each time we have used Ms. White we were putting our most precious grandchild’s future care, education in her very knowledgeable and capable hands. From the experiences we have had with Catherine over the years we would never trust any other attorney to get us the results we deemed necessary to raise a healthy, happy and safe child. She is a hard-working attorney that prides herself in providing good sound legal representation at a very reasonable price. She is more concerned with helping her clients rather than fattening her bank account with money. Don’t get me wrong she is out to make a living. She just isn’t out to bleed her clients dry of their hard earned money to fatten her bank account. She believes in an honest days work for an honest days pay. To bad other attorneys and firms don’t stand up and take notice and then model themselves after this honest and hard working attorney.

Catherine is an exceptional attorney that has been practicing long enough to have firsthand experience with almost all situations of domestic dispute. She was able to see through most of noise created by the opposing party and their counsel to focus on what really mattered, the children. At times I was frustrated because she told me the truth instead of what I wanted to hear but this is what I needed. Catherine was consistent and always acted in the best interests of my children (even when my emotions got the best of me) and for that I am very grateful. My case was settled without going to trial and I am VERY happy with the results.

She told me it would all work out and it did. The family court process is long and often runs its course. Everything happened just as Catherine said it would and I would recommend her to anyone. I hugged her as I walked out of the courtroom. She told me she didn't understand why all of her clients hug her instead of shaking her hand. It's because she leaves you feeling that good. She respects you. You will never feel embarrassed or ashamed. She is really that good. She is smart, well spoken and really that good.

"She's a compassionate lawyer that truly cares about her clients and keeps you focused on what's really important."

Catherine really cares about her clients- even more so, she cares about the children. I loved that even though there can be many emotional/mudslinging aspects in divorce- she was compassionate and even though there were derogatory comments being made about me, by my ex, she simply reminded me that "it's not relevant in court." While I still have to pay him alimony, she got him to settle and avoided a trial. I've worked hard for where I am, I was medically retired from the military, and the sheer fact that the person I was married to for nearly 15 years was simply after money in the end, I am free. My kids have a long healing road ahead, as do I, but even later that night of the final court date and the following day, Catherine called to check on me and see how I was doing. She's a compassionate lawyer that truly cares about her clients and keeps you focused on what's really important. God sent me an angel during a season when I needed her!

"Custody Battle"

Catherine is an amazing lawyer!! I was very Thankful for her she took my custody case even though I live in Illinois and had to make several trips between the two states to get custody of my child that is battling cancer. His mother couldn't or wouldn't acknowledge that he was a sick little boy or stay around long enough to learn how to take care of him. I had to prove that I could take care of him,it took several trips to court and had to get a guardian but with the compassion and the patience and the knowledge that Catherine has I was able to get complete custody of my son. I will definitely refer her anyone that would ask and I will always be truly THANKFUL for all the support she has shown me and my son. She is a lawyer that is completely concerned about who she represents and is concerned about what is right for the children she is representing.

"Smart, Competent, Trustworthy, Honest, Effective and Professional"

Catherine is wonderful! I hired her to represent me as the plaintiff in a contested divorce case. I cannot say enough great things about her. When she first consulted with me, she was honest. I cannot explain how important this was in this situation. There was so much emotion in the proceeding. She helped me separate the emotions from the issues we needed to handle legally and where to put my focus. She told me what was important and what did not matter to what we were trying to accomplish. She made me feel listened to, and heard. She was very helpful and always had a point to each piece of advice I needed to hear, even when it was not what I wanted to hear. My divorce almost took a wrong turn toward a trial when it did not need to, and she helped me get it sorted out. She always believed in me. There was a stopping point of no compromise and there was much pettiness between myself and my spouse. My ex did not feel he was entitled to give me anything when I left my marriage. I had believed that was true. She educated me on how the law looks at my situation and helped me get half of my share in the marital home to start my life over again. She helped me tremendously with my settlement and get exactly what I wanted and was entitled to, lawfully. Catherine is a no BS kind of lawyer. She is professional and pleasant. She knows what she is doing and always told me to remember what I told her, I want to do what is in the best interests of my children. There were times where emotions were high, but she kept me steady. We came up with a fair Joint Parenting Plan that makes my children happy and satisfies both parents. I could always count on her honesty and word, she always kept it. She communicated often with opposing counsel when pieces of our parenting plan were not being followed as ordered by the court. Where I had questions and concerns, she had plans and answers. I appreciated her more than she could understand. I was ready to tear my hair out when my ex stopped paying child support, but she was there to help me file contempt charges and take care of the matter. She protected my best interests at all times because that is what she does. She enjoys this work, and it shows because she is so good at it. She provided me real value for my money. She was a great advocate for me and never avoided the tough stuff. She speaks up and fights for her clients. If I ever needed another lawyer for any matter in her specialty, I would always go back to Catherine without a second thought. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

"Thank You Catherine"

I found Catherine by website searching but I’m Very Glad I did worked with her! She helped me out to actually redo my divorce case and get back shared custody of my child, also lowered my child support payments. I liked from her that she is straightforward but still nice, and I truly believe she did her best to understand my concerns since English isn’t my native language, she was sweet and patient to guide me though the process, answering my doubts on documents, helping me to be confident when I had to speak to the judge. She knows what she’s doing...very knowledgeable, She is working focusing on what is fair and in best interest for the case. Sometimes I didn’t hear from her in a couple of weeks because she is a very busy attorney but I felt she had my back, in court you see how she is recognized and respected by attorneys and court staff. (At her office she can be without hills and formal outfits, making her even more approachable). Her fees are reasonable and she can also make you a plan for payments. Thank you once again and definitely won’t hesitate to recommend her!

"I Wish There Were More Stars to Give!"

Catherine White has been a godsend! Professional with a personal demeanor. From my initial consultation her gracious and caring manner made me feel like I was dealing with family as opposed to attorney. She has made a difficult process bearable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of her services!

"Family Matter"

When another state attempted to collect child support from me for a child that wasn't mine, I contacted Catherine White. Though this was her first such case, she did everything she could to reassure me throughout the process. The case took a long time, as there were several people who had to be served, but in the end Catherine's hard work and perseverance paid off. She treated me with respect and compassion throughout the ordeal. I'm very grateful for her services.

"Divorce"

Catherine gave me warm vibes the moment I met her. She was gentle and caring when my ex-husband made the process difficult and always made sure I understood what was happening. Her commitment to her client is above and beyond just a lawyer/client relationship. I have always felt safe knowing she was looking out for my best interest.

"Divorce"

From the moment I met Catherine face to face she put me at peace in one of the most difficult times in my life. She was a great listener and very compassionate under hard circumstances of divorce. She was very affordable. She made the process as smooth as she could. She was reachable when I needed her and she helped me in every way I needed. I highly recommend her.

"Great Service and Expert Advice."

From the beginning Mrs. White's communication was excellent and she explained the entire process from beginning to end. She really cares about her clients and she will give it her all to help her clients receive a favorable outcome. My case was very complex and opposing council attempted to drag out my divorce; however, attorney White used her experience and expertise to avoid a costly and drawn out case and negotiated a favorable outcome. Thank you attorney White.

"Exceeded!!"

My mother applied for emergency custody and legal custody of my daughter under false allegations. I am a mother of 3, one daughter (11) and two sons (3 and 10mths).

My mother showed no care or concerns for my sons, she would pick up only my daughter to spend time with. After my mother disagree with me on a puppy, she threatened me with police. After 6 days she called CPS and said I was starving, beating and mistreating my daughter. She would then proceed to call the police to do wellness checks on ONLY my daughter. No case was opened with CPS and the police officers always found all of my children well kept.

After these actions and results, she decided she still wanted to proceed further (during these times, I didn't feel comfortable with my daughter spending alone time with my mother).

I was informed 3 days before court my mother applied for emergency custody for my daughter and legal custody. I was shocked, astounded and hurt by the complaint she submitted out of spite and anger, that she would potentially destroy my family if I didn't find help! And immediately!!

I originally attempted a references for an attorney my sister interned for, he was unable to help due to conflict of interest. He highly recommend Mrs. Catherine White.

When I meet Mrs. White I was in a panic and lost, she did have a work load but she listened to me and heard me. I don't know how much stress or of an overload the case would have been, but she took me on! I was intimidated about the process, I didn't want my mother's false allegations to be a representation of me.
Mrs. White understand people lie, and unfortunately situations like mine happens. She got to know me and seen, yes I'm not perfect but I love my children and do for their best interest and fought for me.

She informed me of alot, and gave alot of guidance and great counsel! She exceeded every thought and expectation I had. I greatly enjoyed working with her, I would highly recommend her for hire! She's well versed and is very knowledgeable, in my opinion she has morals I feel more should hold and she's not all about the money. She's about helping and defending you and your family!!

If you can call her first, you will not have to call anyone else.

"I recommend her to anyone seeking a Divorce attorney"

I was seeking to end my marriage. My ex husband and I had been married over 37 years. We had our home that needed to be sold and profits divided. Two pensions needed to be divided. Catherine was able to obtain a Tempirary Spousal Support order, to ensure me an income during the process. I have only positive thoughts regarding Catherine's handling of my case. I recommend her to anyone seeking a Divorce attorney. My case was completed recently.

"Yes"

"If you pray don't worry, if you worry don't pray" this is what I'd say when things didn't go as planned and with working during a pandemic, while schools were changing from in class learning to virtual learning, Catherine was right there every step of the way.

Some years ago I had the privilege of hiring Catherine to work on my shared parenting arrangement for my daughter; she did a wonderful job. I did not expect her experience and foresight handling cases such as mine to allow her to bring me such peace of mind when dealing with the court system.

As a man I have always heard horror stories about "getting the courts involved," and living in Ohio Father's rights (seems to me) to be less than the Mothers. So when I say that all I had was a hope and a prayer because I knew nothing of what I was getting involved in I mean that, however Catherine was there every step of the way. Emails, text messages, phone calls, zoom meetings, face to face, however I needed to be contacted she was there. When opposing counsel was making things difficult, she went out of her way to ensure that things got complete in a timely manner which I truly thank her for.

My experience with my case being handled by Catherine has been truly amazing and I am thankful that the City of Columbus has someone like her who is passionate about what she does serving it's constituents.

Catherine White is worth her weight in gold and I would hire her again, for a third time if I was searching for a lawyer.

"Excellent Work on Shared Custody Arrangement !!!"

Recently had a chance to work with Catherine on a shared custody arrangement for my son after a separation and I must say she did a phenomenal job. She is very good at communicating about the situation and that helped to keep me at ease.
As a man you instinctively know that getting the courts involved is never a good idea as that favors the women mostly (my opinion!!).
However, Catherine assured me from day 1 everything would be okay and I want to give a shoutout to the fact that she fights so hard for fathers who just want to be there for their kids..I would definitely recommend her..Stay blessed !!

"Child Custody"

I’m a young college student who became a father of 3 kids in 2020. I didn’t plan to be a father that earlier but I didn’t take it for granted either. I loved being a dad but in the state of Ohio if your not married fathers had no rights to their kids unless they went to court. I had gotten 2 women pregnant and the same time and it was time for me to own up to men up and take care of my responsibility. Being a father to a girl first changed my life forever and then 5 months I had 2 sets of twins. Even though I was a full time dad and I was very involved with my kids I still didn’t have no rights to them and that really sucked. I know I had to get a great lawyer who could represent me because my kids are everything to me. I found Catherine White when I google top lawyers in the state of Ohio and I did my research on each one. The part that got my attention was the part that she is a real great listener and she doesn’t only want the best for you but for your kids as well. I hired Catherine to help me with both of my cases because I didn’t want to be a visiting dad that saw he’s kids few days out of the month. I want to be fully involved in my kids life’s and actually raise my kids. Catherine was so amazing with my first case for my daughter. She told me to just told me to just sit down with mom of my daughter and made us talk to each other and made us listen to one another without being disrespectful. Then she was a ale to get us on the same page where we where able to agree on share parenting and split everything in half. That case was close less then a month or 2 without anyone getting nasty with each other in court. For my second case for my twins mother it toke 2 hard long years before anything was solved. There where so much issues and drama that I was so stress out everyday and I was worried about my kids and the choices that mother was making on her own since I had no rights to my kids. Even when I was so angry at the mother of my kids Catherine always knew how to make me calm down and try to do this by the law and not taking measures in my own hands. Catherine is a very straight forward person that will tell you the truth even if you don’t like it or want to hear it. She doesn’t treat you like a client who is just trying to get money from but she honestly cares about you and your family. When I started I didn’t know what to except or what to do but she guided me and even thought I didn’t have that much money she worked with me a lot. Monday of 4/11/22 I can honestly say Catherine White helped me custody of my twins. Before this day came she help me get a temporary share custody in July of 2021. I showed the twins mother and the court that I way capable of raising my kids alone being a single father who worked a full time job and still go to school full time. Everything I did was for my kids and Catherine would check on me and ask how things where going? No one force her to do that but the fact she cared she wanted to make sure the kids where ok as well.
