Client Testimonials
The following testimonials are from real clients who have been represented by Debra S. White. They have not been altered in anyway from their original content.
Well, what does a client want? That’s the question I asked when I was looking for a lawyer, and using what I learned in law school, I knew what I wanted in a lawyer to best protect me. I figured that a client always wants an aggressive lawyer who knows the law and understands the facts so that he/she can express and articulate them to a jury panel in the most convincing way possible.
Once I was arrested and charged for a DUI, I began looking for a lawyer that fit this description. After having researched and met nearly 20 lawyers in person to discuss the facts of my case, I decided immediately to go with Debra White. Her command presence caught my attention, and her ingenious and well-articulated arguments not only made sense to me, but would make sense to the jury.
Throughout the jury trial, she passionately articulated my side of the story. Right then and there, I knew that I had chosen an attorney that I could trust and put all my faith into. I felt like I had to just sit back, and let her do what she does best. What I will never forget about my experience with Debra White is that she understood my situation and repeatedly gave me reassurance. This kind of commitment to me was important because I know that clients need to feel comfortable and confident throughout the jury trial. Often times, a client’s demeanor will determine how a jury reaches the verdict, and Debra White did an excellent job in making sure I was comfortable from start to finish.
My case finished when my case was magically dismissed and I was cleared of all charges. It has been a pleasure having you represent me, as well as giving me a sneak peak on what to expect when I become a lawyer.
You deserve ALL the Credit,

The minute I got the call telling me my son was in jail for attempted kidnapping I knew he was innocent. I was horrified to realize that I now had to find a way to get him out of the nightmare we were all cast into. I had no idea where to start, and no idea what was going to happen, but I knew one thing. I was only going to hire someone that believed in what they were doing. Someone who believed that the system wasn't perfect and that things aren't always how they appear on the surface. I got what I was looking for in you and more. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to find someone so passionate and compassionate about our situation. You were so honest with us from the very beginning, never giving us false hope, and never pretending like it could only go our way, which I appreciated so much because I needed to be realistic and know what we could be facing. You gave us faith in your ability and your understanding of the law, and you never let me down when I needed you to explain things to me in detail, and you were always willing to talk to me until I could comfortably understand.
When the jury was coming back with it's verdict, and before they even read it, I told you that regardless of the outcome, you served us proud, and I was very happy about my decision to hire you, and I meant every word of it. Happily the jury agreed with us and found my son not guilty, but even if they hadn't, I never would have doubted that my son got the best defense possible.
You helped restore my faith in a system that I had long ago stopped believing in.
All my best,
Mikki Murty
Much depended on the outcome of my cases I had 2 misdemeanors and one felony. I faced deportation and had been to jail 5 times in 6 months after entering into a program called drug court. At this point I had no attorney and there is no room for people in today's court system without good representation I had none.
My first meeting with Debra left me feeling safe, in as far as I felt she really cared, I knew straight away that I trusted her. I had faith in her drive and what can only be described as dynamic ability to negotiate on my behalf the best terms for my pending conviction.
She was like an angel coming down from above, someone who went the extra mile and then again.
Debra turned 3 hopeless charges in to dismissals.
Drug court is for last stop offenders, a place people with long criminal histories go in a last ditch attempt not to have to go back to jail again. The program is a yearlong they say, I know no one who has completed it in less than 18months. They drug test you every day, anytime you do anything wrong, back to jail you go. Because of this and my busy work schedule, I kept missing this and that and was thus thrown in jail, my wife left me I lost my home and 9 month old daughter too.
Debra got me off this program and on to deferred entry. I completed the 6 month course and have just had all my charges dismissed by the courts.
I now have a home, two cars and employ 10 people a far cry from sleeping in my truck or being in jail.
The greatest gift she gave me was hope and friendship. When you are in the gutter no one cares what happens to you. But she did and I believe that was the catalyst that gave me the strength to do what I needed to turn my life around.
Most of us are not criminals at heart, life slowly takes to a point where we can no longer help ourselves Debra's skill has given me the chance to realize my mistakes and not have to carry around for the rest of my life heavy conviction for drug offences something that would have affected my whole life
Thank you Debra
I just wanted to take a moment and "vocalize" my appreciation for your methodical and thought out approach to handling my expungement proceedings. Past experience had left me with something of a callous and jaded outlook on attorneys, in what I have experienced as their superseding commonalties as a group. I want to thank you again and relay my vote of confidence in your abilities as an attorney and spirit as an individual.
Thanks again, yours truly,
Eugene
