Information about Ori T. White & Associates Family Law Questions, Including Divorce and Child Support Personal Injury Case Questions Including Fraud Questions Concerning Victims and Witnesses The Process of a Typical Criminal Case
How long have you been practicing law? Since November 1991. In December 1992, I opened my law practice in Fort Stockton, Texas.
Where can you practice? I am licensed in Texas and New Mexico.
What is your professional background? I was in private practice from December 1992 to December 1996. On January 1, 1997, I took office as the 112th District Attorney and served 5 counties as District Attorney for 8 years. I decided not to run for a third term and returned to private practice after December 2004.
What types of cases do you take? I take criminal cases, divorce/custody cases, personal injury cases, Deceptive Trade Practice cases, bad faith cases against insurance companies, and other types of cases. I also do appeals and post conviction cases.
Do you have experience in capital murder cases? Yes, I prosecuted 4 capital murder cases while I was a prosecutor and handled the appeal in another capital case for the State of Texas. In 2005, I was appointed to handle a post conviction capital case from Midland County.
What can I do to assist my attorney? Notify your lawyer if you change your address or phone number. Provide information and documents to assist in your case including names and addresses of witnesses.
How can I protect my elderly parents from sales calls? Make sure that their telephone number is on the national “do not call” list. You can also tell your parents to always ask that the sales person leave a call back number. It is very difficult to hang up on aggressive sales people who just won’t take no for an answer. One elderly client bought over $700 in magazines which was just the amount of her social security payment. Fortunately, we reversed these charges. Sometimes, it helps to write out something for your parent to say such as, "Give me your number so my daughter/son can call you back . . .".
