Johnny D. White, an associate in the Miami office, began his career with Wicker Smith as a law clerk in 2002 and has continued to have a successful career.

Though Johnny is well-versed in a number of areas in civil litigation, the majority of his work experience increasingly has involved complex construction industry claims relating to single-family residences, as well as large multi-unit residential and commercial developments. He has successfully resolved many multi-million dollar disputes throughout Florida, representing architects, various sub-contractors, construction managers, developers, general contractors, owners, municipalities and specialty contractors.

· Commercial Buildings: Defended claims involving defective construction of commercial property, including environmental issues, tenant improvements, surety and performance bonds.
· Condominium Projects: Defended and coordinated negotiation of multi-party claims involving defects in large condominium complexes. Worked with homeowner association, developer, subcontractor counsel and experts in multiple trades to negotiate scope of defect, method and cost of repairs.
