Chris White is a shining example of what an attorney should be. Aside from being a compassionate all around good person, he is smart, detailed, prepared, to the point, respectful, and timely. I have definitely got my monies worth. If you are going through a divorce (which is one of the most difficult things to go through) if Chris is your attorney you can take a deep breath and know that you are in good hands. I cannot say enough about Chris and his staff. Top notch!!!

Divorce litigation is renown for the many costs related to ancillary disputed issues which have little to no impact on the outcome of the case. Chris is unique in his ability to efficiently dispose of the distractions, focus on the central disputes and argue them successfully before the Court. His lethality to opposing counsel is at its greatest (and most amusing) when he's pitted against a large Chicago-area firm.

Chris White is the quintessential lawyer. He has always fought hard for my interests and provided me with sound, unemotional advice. He is a champion for the underdog and the bullied. I trust him implicitly and know that I can always depend on him.

Christopher White is an outstanding lawyer. I have worked with 6 other divorce lawyers over the years and Christopher stands head a shoulders above the rest. He is intelligent, knowing the divorce laws and codes well, without having to be prompted. He is conscious of his billable time to his clients. And he does an exceptional job presenting himself in front of judges, even in the midst of an unruly opposing lawyer.

Christopher is extremely well versed in his industry and has earned the respect of his peers and the judges of the court system because of his vast knowledge and professionalism. His attention to his clients is amazing and he does an incredible job in assuring the well being of children when they are involved. I would recommend no other lawyer than Christopher White and he should be nominated as lawyer of the year for Chicago.

Chris & I developed a great interactive relationship over 3 years of Divorce litigation. We discussed issues frankly & intelligently. Nothing was not addressed extensively after which Chris would set strategy & frame the legal approach. The legal discipline & forceful presentations/arguments by Chris was what eventually forced the opposition principals to capitulate. At times, Chris would bring to the notice of the Judge little known law which would surprise the opposition & guide the Judge.

I recently went through a difficult custody and divorce battle with my ex-wife. After retaining and terminating two lawyers, I was referred to Chris. Chris took on the case with vigor and a determination that was lacking from previous counsel. Soon after retaining Chris, things started to turn around. After a long hard battle, Chris was able to secure the opportunity for me to have a normal and healthy relationship with my children. I highly recommend Chris, and am very grateful for his service.
