About

When you hire an attorney, you need one you can actually speak with. All clients have my direct number and email address, so you won't be shuffled off to a paralegal when you need your attorney.  My legal experience is backed up by extensive sales and customer service experience with two of the largest forest products companies in the the word. This work taught me how to assess a client's particular needs and goals, develop solutions, negotiate with difficult parties, and to make persuasive presentations before decision-makers. These skills learned years ago have served me well in my legal career, whether the case calls for informal negotiations, mediation, or trial. The bottom line: I will return your call, I will proactively keep you informed as to the status of your case, I will be prepared, and I will always level with you about your case.

Clay did a wonderful job of helping me with my divorce case. He was easy to get a hold of with questions, did a great job explaining the process, and made sure I was taken care of.

Mr. White represe nted me in an unemployment hearing. We spoke on the phone the day before the hearing and he was able to give me an outline of the process to help me understand what to expect. Mr. White also answered all of my questions honestly. This made me feel more at ease and confident in his ability to represent me well. The hearing officer decided in our favor.

From the first conversation I had with Mr. White after I hired him he was very reassuring and gave me the confidence that I could win the case without sweating bullets. He worked together with me every step of the way and we went on to win just as he said we would. I had a great experience and a great result.

I was terminated from my job for reporting moldy food at my place of business to my district manager. They made false allegations about me to cover up the real reason for my termination. I tried to get unemployment and was denied and went through several appeals. When it came to a second appels hearing I needed help to assure my case would get reversed. I talked to Mr. White and I was confident after our conversation the he would be the best lawyer to get the job done. Mr. White was amazing. He was very prepared, confident and honest. He reassured me that we had a great case and not to worry. He was right and I won my case. I'm so greatful to Mr. White and I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

Clay White is an exceptional attorney. My case was a family law situation. He was detailed and thorough. He paid attention and was on hand at all times to answer questions and concerns I had. At the time, I wasn't getting any sort of visitation with my children and when I hired him, he immediately started working and got us into mediation as soon as possible. His attention to my case and how quickly he got us to mediation was a major plus. He listens and he cares. Genuinely cares about what is going on and he understands the heartache a family endures when going through the court systems. I would highly recommend him to anyone and in fact I already have to several people. If your looking for a qualified, skilled and highly educated attorney then Clay White is definitely who you want on your side.

I want to personally thank Mr. White and his staff for giving me the opportunity to experience such greatness. The professionalism and authority I witnessed exceeds all others. Mr. White listened, cared, and above all went above and beyond to make sure I was getting the highest level of support I needed. I would definitely recommend Mr. White, his intelligence & work ethics made it seemless & an absolute pleasure to work with. I would defiantly recommend Mr. White, I can assure you will receive the upmost level of service & be more than satisfied with the outcome. Thank you..
