Steve White is a really good guy. We hired him to help us secure monies still owed to us by our fire insurance. He got the job done efficiently and effectively.

Mr. White has handled a civil suit for me as well as several administrative matters over a span of several years. The outcomes have been excellent. He worked hard and kept me informed. Whenever a friend needs legal advice or help I refer them to Mr. White.

I have used Mr. White for both a criminal case and a civil case. Both of which he was successful in getting me the best outcome possible. He has over 25 years experience and because he does not have a posh expensive office his charges are a really good deal. He kept me update at each stage of the cases via email which made it so easy. Good communication, reasonable fees. If you want expertise at a good deal he is your guy. He doesnt have a ton of employees so best way to communicate is via email/msgs, but I didnt want to pay for secretaries, I wanted the best attorney. Ignore the neg reviews, he is an excellent attorney.

Mr. White is the only lawyer I will ever consider after the wonderful job he did on my case. He was punctual, easy to get a hold of, professional and guided me through the entire process I had to go through. I have used his services on 3 different occasions and will never go anywhere else. I highly recommend him.

Someone has an ax to grind...i read the neg reviews after I hired him and was worried. But I had nothing to worry about. Mr. White was easy going, professional and experienced. He worked on my case and was able to help me alot. He answered all my questions and kept me updated via email throughout the case. He even gave me his CEL phone number!! He spent over an hour and then a long phone call giving me advice BEFORE I even hired him. He was able to give me very realistic expectations and I was pleasantly surprised with an even better outcome. I will def use him again for any legal issue. Liz

I am a former client of attorney Steve White.
He has been an incompetent lawyer who has behaved unprofessionaly and put myself and my court case at stake.
I initially consulted with Wr. White about my need for criminal defense.
He inaccurately claimed that he specialized in criminal cases. However I later discovered that that was not the case, thus he had lied to me.
Before I hired him, he would return my calls and answer questions(although not honestly, as i found out, after I paid and hired him).
But After he'd been paid, he never answered my calls or the many messeges I had to leave on his voice mauil. He does not have an ofiice or any staff to answer his calls, hence ther's only his voice mail.
There were occassions when it took him up to 3 weeks to return my calls----and this happened more than once.
Worse, he was late to court on numerous court dates, without having ever warned me in advance, so that the judge would call the case, but I could not go forward because my attorney was not there. Even then, when I tried to call him, he would not answer.
When I tried to speak to him about these problems, he many times yelled at me and used profanity, saying that he was having problems with his medication and "WILL not put up with my (insert profanity)" , and that if I did not like it , then I could find another lawyer, but that he was not refunding my money.
When I informed Mr. White that I would write to the Bar Association about him, he yelled at me that I could do so, but that , just like another client of his had also recently complained about him, he knew that the Bar would take many months just to start an investigation so that I would receive no help there, as it would take so long for them to even come up with a remote decision, so then I would be the one suffering, because I'd be out of the money that I needed to hire another lawyer.
Left with no options, I was forced to keep him as an attorney. But thaen he only behaved increasingly unprofessional. He even was absent for the next court date, without prior notice to the judge, which cause major problems for my court case. I am extremely dissappointed and in worse shape noow, than before I hired him.

I had been injured in a car accident four years ago, and could no longer work in my profession, the Motion Picture Editors Guild. I was asking the Motion Picture Pension Fund for early retirement, as I was severely disabled and unable to work. Motion Picture Health and Welfare was being extremely uncooperative, and I found Stephen White.
He guided me through the reams of paperwork I needed to fill out to prove I was disabled, and he not only broke through the impenetrable wall of MPHW, he also helped me receive disability, which I had no idea I was qualified for.
His patience, knowledge, sensitivity, and fantastic sense of humor got me through an extremely tough period of my life, and if it were not for him, I would very possibly be living on the streets today.
I recommend Steve White to every person I come across who has a problem and needs legal advice - he is generous with his time, and understanding that many of us do not have much money up front to pay him in full - he is more than willing to work within your budget.
I not only consider Steve White to be a great lawyer, but a great friend, someone I can e-mail any time if I have a question.
You cannot go wrong with him.
