Dexter Armstrong

My daughter and I were attacked by a neighbors dog, it was a horrific experience and something I do not wish on anyone. I was bit and had ligaments torn in my shoulder fighting the 125 pound Rottweiler, it was not getting past me I had to protect my child. I had no clue who to turn to and I went on A...vvo and found Sandra Worthington, and I will tell you it was like I was meant to click on her name and call her. We talked and she was so worried about my daughter and I she was our angle in our time of need! Sandra took us through what was going to happen step by step, she is ALWAYS right there for any questions any worries we had . Sandra took our case and hit the ground running and we are so blessed to have her on our case. She became more then our Lawyer she is now a family friend. If you need a lawyer this women is the one to choose and you won’t be sorry! She is a fighter and she will fight for you ! Thank you Sandra from the bottom of our hearts !

Thank you for saying that! It goes without saying you and your family are very special to me- you know I love dogs and have had many. This is about an irresponsible owner whose failure to properly train and socialize their Rotty led to terrible consequences. I'm so happy to have represented you and hope you will stay in touch!

Hope I never need her again but glad I used her

Sandra handled my case efficiently, kept me in the information loop and addressed any concerns I had. She researched the injury, determined appropriate compensation and negotiated settlement in a very timely manner. She went beyond my expectations and made excellent suggestions regarding my therapy... and recovery process. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Involved in a traffic accident: researched lawyers and found Sandra

Having never been involved in a law suit, I had no idea what to expect, what not to expect, and most of all, what Sandra taught me about the law. When I called Sandra and explained to her what had happened, she was comforting and more than willing to address my concerns in regards to the accident. T...he initial telephone interview put me at ease and after we met in person, I felt secure that I had found the perfect lawyer. I never once doubted her knowledge nor her expertise. If I had a question , and did not understand specifics, she explained the legal terms in layman's terms. I was very satisfied with the monetary amount at the conclusion of my case. If I am in need of a lawyer in the future, I would not hesitate for a moment to call Sandra. With that said, I would most definitely refer Sandra to anyone who needs an outstanding lawyer.

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

Posted by Kimberly | September 05, 2014 | Insurance

Took the time to not only advise, but teach and empower me!

In the middle of an insurance nightmare where I was getting bullied into an unfavorable settlement that would have dangerously limited my rights, I called Sandra (among several other lawyers) to see if I needed representation. Of all the people I spoke with, Sandra was the only one to speak to me as... a person and not a dollar sign. She didn't even flinch when I said I didn't necessarily want to pursue a lawsuit, just that I wanted to know my options. She took the time to not only explain everything to me in full detail, (answering questions I didn't even know I had), but to empower me as an individual. Oh, and did I forget to mention - she did this without asking for a dime or pushing me to hire her. I don't know many Lawyers who would take the time to do that.

Personal injury lawyer | Dec 23

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
