About Heather White
Heather White defends governmental entities and their officers against complaints asserting the deprivation of civil rights. These include claims of alleged misconduct, such as excessive force, search and seizure , wrongful arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, abuse of process and denial of medical care, to name a few. At any given time, Heather is involved in multiple officer-involved shooting cases through inception, including investigations by the Department of Justice and press inquiries, through conclusion. Heather deeply respects her Utah police officer clients and their dedication to society at great personal expense. She listens closely to determine their individual needs – whether in out-of-court settlements or in public trials. To better understand and connect with her clients, and matters they are involved in, she regularly participates in police ride-alongs. She is certified by the Force Science Institute and conducts training sessions for law enforcement throughout the state, including entities who are not her clients. Heather also represents the two primary insurers of government entities in Utah - the Utah Risk Management Mutual Association and Utah Local Governments Trust – as well as a number of self-insured governmental agencies. She believes in the importance of educating her clients on legally-related elements of their complex and public careers. In this effort, she regularly speaks to agencies and insurers on police training issues, liability, risk management, and incident-prevention issues. Heather has tried many governmental civil rights cases to a favorable defense verdict in state and federal trial and appeals courts. In addition, she regularly defends governments against claims involving accidents that include government vehicles and premises liability, such as “slip and fall” accidents.
