Honest

I so appreciate Sandra Worthington. She gave me the best advice about my car accident that I was involved in over 2 years ago. Being confused and frustrated about this accident the worst thing for me. She gave me great advice and other contact information to get in touch with people I needed to s...peak with. If you need a lawyer to represent you call Sandra Worthington she is very knowledgeable about her brand in law. Thanks again Sandra you were very much appreciated

Posted by Matthew | March 11, 2015 | Divorce & Separation

Simply, the best!

Sandy Worthington has been my Attorney for over 20 years. She has been successful in every instance that I needed her help, which has been more times than I ever imagined it would be. The first time I met her was during my divorce and child custody case in the early 1990's. I believe that was the... last divorce she handled so please don't contact her for that, although I am certain she would recommend someone good to anyone who asked. During that time we had 3 mediation hearings for support and custody of my son. She was 3 for 3, our side winning every time. Back then, as it is even today, a Dad usually is at a disadvantage during a child custody case. A few years later I remarried and my wife was killed in a traffic accident. On that terrible morning, after I spoke to my wife's daughter, Sandy was the next phone call I made. That is how high I value her guidance, advice and knowledge. Even though she had nothing to do with the DA's case against the woman charged with killing my wife, Sandy came to the Courthouse every day to be with me as we watched the trial. Sandy must have heard something that a lot of people missed. After the trial concluded, Sandy recommended that we hire an Accident Reconstruction Specialist to find out what really happened. She discovered the facts that caused the accident and she went after the people and company that was responsible. Once again, at every opportunity, she made the right moves and was successful in our negotiations. Over that time, I probably spoke to her hundreds of times in person and on the phone. Every single time we talked I know more, felt better and had a greater understanding of what was going on in the process. Probably the highest compliment I can pay to her, is whenever I hear people speaking about an attorney or their attorney, it's not alway in a positive manner. In those instances I always say, "you must have the wrong attorney. I love my Attorney. Her name is Sandy Worthington and you need to call her." Matt

Outstanding Legal Representation

The first time I talked with Sandy Worthington I felt completely at ease. She had experience and was knowledgeable of the Pennsylvania dog bite laws regarding my type of case. Over the next few years she guided me through a maze of legal and medical issues relating to the injury I had received. Du...ring these years a mutual respect based on honesty and clear communication grew between Sandy and I and that respect continues to this day. Sandy did an incredible job representing me, being clear about what she was doing keeping me informed along the way, taking the time to be thorough and careful about the legalities of my case. Most importantly she was considerate and thoughtful and truly cared about me as a person, I did not feel like "just another client." Choosing Sandy Worthington to represent me during such a tramatic time in my life was the smartest step I could have taken and I am certainly glad I did!

On Top of Her Game!

I was introduced to Sandra B. Worthington about six years through an attorney friend of mine. I knew she specialized in personal injury law, but never thought I would need her services. Three years ago I was hit by a DUI motorist in a head-on collision. I retained the services of Ms. Worthingt...on. Even though this motor vehicle accident complicated my life, Ms. Worthington's experience in personal injury law made things much easier for me in handling this matter. She was in touch with me often and was always available to listen and answer my questions. She walked me through the case, step by step, and in the end, she won my case! I was very pleased with the outcome. If you have any doubt as to whether you have a case or not, Ms. Worthington will steer you in the right direction. She is no nonsense and will tell you the truth! I highly recommend Ms. Worthington. She is on top of her game in the field of personal injury law.

"I endorse this lawyer. Sandy Worthington is a highly experienced and dedicated personal injury attorney. I have known her and referred clients to her for many years. Many of them have had very serious injuries and they have been thrilled with the results she got for them. She has been in law practice for 26 years and I know she has successfully litigated and settled thousands of injury cases. She wrote “The Pennsylvania Accident Book” which will be published in 2011, “The PA Dog Bite Book: Bitten” and other articles. She makes these books available for free to clients or prospective clients, and some clients told me it helped educate them about the law and what to expect in their cases. I will continue to refer cases to her."

She is an aggressive advocate for her clients who have suffered personal injuries as a result of motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, and from dog bite incidents. She is very accessible and responsive. You will deal directly with her, not some associate. She practices in Philadelphia and surrounding counties. She has successfully settled or obtained judgements in significant amounts for her clients."

"I endorse this lawyer. I first met Sandra B. Worthington about twelve years ago, shortly before my retirement from the active practice of law. My practice did not include trial duties. I have retained an office for various non-legal matters in the same building in which Ms. Worthington practices personal injury law, including motor vehicle accident cases and all kinds of premises liability cases. In this period I have referred and/or suggested to several of my clients and friends to use Ms. Worthington’s services for personal injury cases. All of them have been pleased and satisfied with her efforts. Ms. Worthington moves quickly, keeps in close contact with clients, clearly analyzes the cases which are presented to her, speaks directly, frankly, and frequently about anticipated results – and succeeds. I give her my highest recommendation."
