“I did not personally meet with any of the attorneys as they were hired by our business associate. But I was able to work with Julie Pena. I spoke with her many times on the phone, and in every instance, she was extremely kind, compassionate, and helpful. She bent over backward to help me with what I needed.
I don't know the attorneys in this office, but if they and the rest of their employees are anything like Julie Pena, they have an outstanding office, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs legal assistance.”

“My wife and I have been given a beautiful gift of parenthood, all because of White Peterson and their staff. There isn’t a day that goes by that we aren’t incredibly thankful for how responsive and compassionate this office is.
When life has hit us hard, Julie has always been incredibly patient and kind to my family in collecting our payment. I always look forward to speaking with her, and this office has always been kind to us, even when we haven’t been at our kindest during our most stressful times. I know everyone works incredibly hard, and we cannot express our gratitude enough.”

“I hired him to set up a trust and living will for myself, so I know my sister would know they were my heirs. He helped us tremendously. He was kind, pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and everything you could ask for while doing the job I had hired him for.
I was extremely pleased with his performance. I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone to set up a trust and will.”

“William Punkoney was so great to work with in establishing my family trust. He took the time and went into great detail to explain why a special needs trust would protect one of my family members and prevent me from making a mistake by not including it in my trust...

“We worked with Bill and his staff on a long and difficult probate situation and found their office people and Bill extremely communicative, proactive, resourceful, and timely.
Given that this work took a couple of years, it is testimony to their commitment to their clients, their role in all realms of legal work, and their superior insight and experience in dealing with the courts, as well as witnesses, property dispersal, skip traces, etc. This is an excellent choice for whatever legal needs one might have, and we highly recommend using them if you can.”

“We contacted White-Peterson looking for help with a family trust and wills. We knew from the moment we met Mr. Nichols that this was going to be a good experience.
Mr. Nichols obviously possesses a wealth of legal knowledge and has an ability to translate it into easy-to-understand terms. His likable personality and easygoing attitude make it easy to work with him and ask questions. We are very happy that we went with White-Peterson and Mr. Nichols. We highly recommend his services!”

“We engaged Atty Nichols in order to obtain an opinion about the purchase of a property located in Idaho by a trustee. We needed information regarding the trust's ownership, payment of various expenses, leasing requirements, use of a mortgage, and proper indemnification, all within the context of Idaho's community property statutes. We had a very short time frame within which to work.
