"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.

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.

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.

From the beginning Mrs. White 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.

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 admire the fact that she fights so hard for fathers who just wanna see their kids her passion for that is unmatched! Thank you for all your hard I’ve already recommended you to all my friends who are fighting the same fight God bless

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.

My case was somewhat different in that it involved Permanent Sustenance Alimony that had been in effect for a very long time. It was very difficult case given the length of time. We did not go thru court and managed to come an agreement that did not favor either one of us, but, due to our ages, was fair. I do not believe 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.
