All this post is my opinion; you may see things different.

David Donald White Esq. is very dishonest, Dave. D. White (DDW) paid a settlement in libel suit CV2014-095953. David D. White Esq. was the Plaintiff along with his law firm “The Law Offices Of David D. White PC”.  

Austin L. White Esq. was an associate of David D. White and worked at The Law Offices Of David D. White PC. David White tried to get the Defendant (CV2014-095953) to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) as part of a settlement, the Defendant refused. Dave D. White Esq. paid a settlement anyway (David White dismissed with Prejudice his own lawsuit on or about 07/28/2017).

Ripoffreport Report Image

Dave D. White Esq. is hard of hearing and wears hearing aids. Dave D. White has a tendency to swear. David D. White states he uses “black” humor.

David White 04/16/2021:

“It is a miracle that I did not get shot by the police yesterday, I was driving with an expired tag!

Oh! Just remembered...I’m not a person of color, guess it was not a miracle.”

Trisha V. Beletz (FC2013-052893) was David D. White Esq.’s and Austin L. White Esq.’s former client. Complainant in PDJ-2015-9102, according to Shauna R. Miller- Senior Bar Counsel.

Austin L. White Esq. under oath testimony in PDJ-2015-9102.

Nancy A. Greenlee Esq: “Based upon your experience with um Mr. White over the years do you have an opinion about his truthfulness”

Austin L. White Esq. “I have always found David to be completely truthful um one of, one of the things that, one of the reasons why I work for him is because, he is an honest attorney. I wouldn’t be working for him if I did think he was.”

Nancy A. Greenlee Esq: “And if he makes a mistake does he admit it?”

Austin L. White Esq. “He, he is one of fir.., one of the rare people I know that will, um admit his mistakes, yes”

====

Charles I. Friedman Esq. under oath testimony in PDJ-2015-9102.

Charles I. Friedman Esq. was a character witness for David Donald White.  David D. White Esq.’s letter of 01/24/2014 to State Bar is what Shauna R. Miller may be referring to.

Shauna R. Miller- Senior Bar Counsel: “Regarding um, Mr. White, and I want your reaction to this statement he made to the State Bar. He’s talking about his client um, who is the complainant in this case, and this is from his letter, “To make light of the situation I jokingly and out of frustration stated if she withdrew again, I would spank her and enjoy it”.

Shauna R. Miller- Senior Bar Counsel: “Can you tell me what you reaction is to that statement?”

Charles I. Friedman Esq.: “Um, I think it’s not appropriate for, um, an attorney to say that to a client, I could imagine that it was, um.”

Shauna R. Miller- Senior Bar Counsel: “That is ok, I just want your, your reaction, you don’t think it’s appropriate.”

Charles I. Friedman Esq.: “Well, I think it was made kiddingly by David, not serious, um it was made out of frustration.”

====

Presiding Disciplinary Judge William J. O’Neil wrote “Mr. White was inadvertently insensitive in two other comments. We believe he was insensitive and as he acknowledged, thoughtless. We find his tactless comments did not violate the ethical rules.”

====

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart Esq. was a character witness for David Donald White.

Monica made mention of cases as opposing counsel.

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart Esq. testified about some of her involvement in FC2010-005937/CV2014-095953 when her former clients adverse party was present in the court room in PDJ-2015-9102.

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart Esq. represented Lillian C. Thompson.

I do not know if she was referring to this case in her testimony.

FC2006-008323, Roger Won Suh (DOB: 07/XX/1966) (Monica H. Donaldson Stewart, BAR# 018527) vs. Xiaoyan Aileen Wang (DOB: XX/14/1972) (David White)

 ====

Lillian C. Thompson met with Monica H. Donaldson Stewart Esq. 02/10/2015 and possibly 02/12/2015. Lillian then provided “informed consent” so that “(e.g. after being advised by independent counsel), David could continue to represent you as long as he believed his professional judgment would not be clouded by the fact that his “personal” interests might affect/conflict with his representation of you.”

Mr. White did not get his client to waive “informed consent” before filing his lawsuit.

“I, Lillian Thompson, waive any conflict of interest that may arise from David White’s and The Law Office of David D. White’s libel action against Brian Vaughn and The Law Office of David D. White’s representation of me in family law matters against Brian Vaughn”

====

Nicole Frenchman: “Don't ever call this attorney unless you want to be basically yelled at and not even able to speak. I had one phone consultation and that was enough to realize this man is a hateful and judge mental. If you want to be badgered and humiliated call him. I had a simple family law question and I hung up the phone in tears. I have never had a lawyer treat me this way. I would never recommend this place to anyone.”

Trisha Vee Beletz’s letter to Arizona Bar: “My first impression of him was a man who seemed angry, spoke loud, cussed frequently, and harsh when he spoke to me. I was told by Austin (the other lawyer I met with also) that David White does come off a (sic) gruff”.

Erika D: “I called seeking legal representation and the lady who answered the phone was extremely rude and condescending. Their website indicated he was capable of handling my case, but when I called they informed me they could not. I would advise anyone seeking his legal expertise to spend your hard earned money elsewhere.”

Dr. John Moran, 12/21/2011: “Father presented multiple examples of Mother “lying” during the divorce proceedings. For example, when deposed, she said that she had not been sexually abused and then later acknowledged that an adult male had sexually molested her on one occasion when she was a child, and she acknowledged sexual misconduct between [I Redacted Relative] and her. Father cited several statements that he argued are inaccurate in Mother’s counsel’s letters. Father pointed out that Mr. White is responsive to Mother’s instructions to him and that she is responsible for misrepresentations and dishonest statements Mr. White makes regarding their case. Father is correct that Mother made inaccurate statements; for example, during her deposition, which she later corrected. It is not known whether or not Mother reviewed the documents from her counsel and specifically authorized him to issue statements and allegations that are inaccurate. In sum, it appeared to the Evaluator that Father has a basis for distrust of Mother.”

Dr. John Moran, 12/21/2011: “Mother reported no residuals from the instance of sexual abuse she suffered in 1975, or from the sexual contact/exploration in which she and [I Redacted Relative] engaged when they were children.”

 Under oath deposition Lillian C. Thompson:

Page 88:

Q.   Were you sexually abused as a child?

A.   No.

Later after the deposition she changed her answer (under oath) to “A.   Yes, stating “Consulted definition of sexual abuse.”

 

Under oath deposition Lillian C. Thompson:

Page 112:

Q.   Well, I asked you before if you were sexually abused.  So did Richard, in this letter, did Richard sexually abuse you?

A.   I would say no.

 

Later after the deposition she changed her answer (under oath) to “A.   Yes, stating “Perspective of molester”

“The reason that you have this is that I was helping my cousin.” “And I was helping them with their lawsuit against Richard who abused them for many years.”

Austin White 03/14/2014, Rebuttal on Ripoff Report: “Mr. White holds no animosity or ill-will towards the author of the post and understands that the divorce process can cause individuals to become upset.” It is a fact David D. White brought his libel suit against the author of the post. Seemed ill-will to me, especially when David D. White served the author during the Christmas holiday. Strange gift as David D. White lost and paid a settlement. I believe but can’t prove that Austin L. White Esq. was the architect for the ridiculous lawsuit.

Both Yelp posts are after David D. White lost his libel suite. David D. White Esq. no longer represents Lillian C. Thompson in FC2010-005937.

Yelp account for Lillian C. Thompson (LT/LJ): The Law Offices of David D White

5.0 star rating 9/19/2019

“David has made selfless decisions which were in my best interests at the expense of his own.  I am grateful for his honesty and integrity and also courage and perseverence (sic) in dealing with difficult personalities when others may have given in.”

 

Yelp account for Lillian C. Thompson (LT/LJ): The Law Offices of David D White

5.0 star rating 1/27/2018

“David White is forthright, direct and honest.  Along with those qualities, he has extensive experience, is competent and very savvy about judges and other legal professionals in the Phoenix area.  I have recommended him numerous times to friends, and will continue to do so in the future. 

He stood by me for years when other legal professionals suggested he drop me due to an unrelenting, passively aggressive individual who attempted to damage his reputation as a result of supporting me.  I will be forever indebted to Mr. White for his loyalty to me in getting me out of an awful situation and on my way back to my true self.”

Yelp account for Lillian C. Thompson (LT/LJ): Donaldson Stewart: “Very professional, prompt and addressed everything I asked of them.  I would definitely recommend them and hire Monica Donaldson again.”

Honorable David M. Talamante 07/27/2017: “Further, the Court will allow Defendant to testify at trial regarding those portions of Dr. Moran’s reports he claims to have relied upon in his publications regarding Plaintiff to explain his state of mind.  Additionally, any reports filed with the Court as part of the Family Court proceeding may be received into evidence, Rules 803(8) and 807, Arizona Rules of Evidence.”

The stuff Dr. Moran gave me proved invaluable including Merrill Lane’s notes.

Merrill Lane’s notes 04/22/2011: “Advised client after reviewing the incident that it is reportable, although action on the report may not be taken as it is not clear cut.”

Lillian C. Thompson under oath (Answers to Uniform Interrogatories) 04/26/2011: “The counselor stated that the action was a form of sexual abuse/molestation.”

Opinions vary on David D. White Esq’s honesty. David D. White droped his own libel suit and pay a settlement.

Under oath deposition Lillian C. Thompson:

Page 123:

 

Q.   Also George Gadberry flies a plane, doesn't he?

A.   No.

Q.   But he used to fly a plane, right?

A.   Yes.

Q.   Even after he lost his license he flew a plane, right?

A.   I believe he did for a short while.

 

Later after the deposition she changed her answer (under oath) to “A.   “I don’t know”, “I was not present, heresay (sic))”

FAA investigation of accident ANC07CA061, 07/05/2007, Lake Clark Pass, AK Mountain Range, Cessna 185F on floats, N9464H. Igiugig to Lake Lucille, 60.809444°N, 152.532223°W.

“Factual Information

The private certificated pilot was conducting a personal cross-country flight under Title 14, CFR Part 91, in a float equipped airplane. In an interview, the pilot said he received a full weather briefing, and filed a VFR flight plan, which included transiting a narrow mountain pass. He said prior to entering the mountain pass, three airplanes flying in the opposite direction exited the pass, leading him to believe it was open. The pilot said once inside the pass, the clouds closed in rapidly, and he lost sight of the river he was following. In a written statement, the pilot reported that the pass was "scuddy," and that he started a slow descent. Upon losing sight of the river he reported that he asked the pilot rated, right seat passenger if he could see the river. He wrote that the passenger, seeing a stream on the right, panicked, and said "turn right," and grabbed the controls, turning the airplane to the right. The pilot indicated that he regained the controls, and made a steep left turn, at which time the airplane impacted on a 45 degree slope. In his written statement, the pilot reported that he should have entered the pass at a lower altitude, and should not have been "scud running." He indicated that the accident would not have happened if the passenger had not panicked, grabbed the controls, and made the right turn. According to the pilot, there were no known mechanical anomalies with the airplane, and that the airplane received substantial damage to the wings and fuselage during the impact with terrain.”

 

“Probable Cause and Findings

The pilot's flight into adverse weather conditions, which resulted in an in-flight collision with terrain while maneuvering. A factor contributing to the accident was interference by the pilot-rated passenger.”

“During this conversation Mr. Gadberry” (George Benjamin Gadberry DOB: 03/07/1928 DOD: 09/25/2011) “candidly admitted he did not possess a current airman’s medical certificate, nor did he have a current flight review”. Mr. Gadberry stated he had Atrial Fibrillation and could not keep his INR (international normalized ratio) between 2.0 and 3.0 for 6 months. “He was the pilot who made the take-off”. Final Action “CERT REVOKE”, Final Sanction “REVOCATION”.

Mr. Gadberry stated, “Of course the stock answer is “DON’T SCUD RUN”. However, this would not have happened had Thor not have panicked and had not unexpectedly taken control of the plane and had not turned toward the mountain.”

According to Thor Thompson (Thor Kristopher Thompson DOB: XX/07/1965), “Both Kim Zaslow and my mother Deborah” (Deborah "Deb" Lillian Kissee Thompson Weidum Gadberry DOB: XX/17/1943) “in the back seat said they did see the ground before impact”. Thor was “also a rated pilot but, not in ASES” (Airplane Single Engine Sea), Thor had a “single engine land rating”. Deb Gadberry flew private planes as well.

George had crashed more than one plane in his life, always walked away.

By: “less than optimal”
