The accusations were completed fabricated and false and the evidence presented was misleading and dishonest, not to mention very complex as it had to do with technical com...

Thanks again Mr...
Use White and save Green David White, Attorney at Law has been by far the most respectable, diligent, and driven attorney one could possibly hope for! I was referred to him by a family member as well as friend. I couldn’t have made a better decision in an attorney to represent me in Travis County. I made a mistake that could have made the rest of my life more difficult. He met with me and was extremely honest with with me about my case and the p...
Quick and stress free process Not only did David get my Class A dismissed quickly (2 months from arrest date to dismissal date) but he did for substantially less then all of the other lawyers I had contacted before him. I highly recommend David ‘s services to anyone in need.
Mr. White has your back I was referred to David White by UT Legal Services (I was a previous student) and I am very happy they did! He is very thorough, friendly, easy to reach, and most importantly: works quickly. He successfully completed my expunction process for a class C misdemeanor.

Over exceeded my expectations!! Mr. White is an amazing lawyer. He helped me through one of the scariest periods of my life, going through the legal system. I didn’t want to do it alone, but I wanted someone I knew I could talk to and would get results. Well, Mr. White succeeded!
