Exceeded my Expectations

When I walked into Clayton Worthington’s office more than two years ago, I never expected that I would get someone who would walk by my side on every step of this journey of a post-nuptial agreement and ultimately a divorce. Clayton listened when needed, shared his wisdom and advice, and cheered me o...n when I felt weary. I’ve hired other lawyers for various situations, and with every other experience, I had to double check for mistakes, felt lost in the process, and fought for myself to be heard. With Clayton, you will get someone who is thorough, who knows when to allow you to question your decisions and when to guide you towards the best outcome for you. He works in perfect tandem with his team of top quality staff- so well that you cannot tell if it’s them who make him the best or if it’s him who makes them carry out the job with perfection. Clayton prepared me mentally for every scenario, and helped me make wise choices that would protect me with the least resistance in the path to freedom. I never once felt alone or afraid that this divorce would have me losing out on the best possible outcome for myself. Clayton Worthington and his team excelled at making me feel cared for, protected, and never alone in this fight for my justice. Clayton exceeds expectations in every way with his sharp intellect, insightful knowledge of the law, and his manner of care and concern for his clients. I highly recommend him for everyone who has life altering decisions to make. This is a guy whom you want on your side!

Wonderful Lawyer

Mr. Worthington is a great lawyer and did a wonderful job protecting my family from a nasty court battle which would have potentially destroyed my relationship with the kids and ex wife. My ex and I are getting along after the divorce. ( I picked up Easter candy for her today at Target) .. This ...could have been way different if we went to court and the opposing lawyer had their way.

Trust

In a time when I really lacked trust of anyone, Clayton and his team helped me rebuild faith that someone would consistently advocate for me. He was willing to go to battle on issues and pushed me to seek what I deserved. I appreciate his guidance and the support that was given throughout the proce...ss. I strongly recommend him.

Excellent Counsel

Clayton Worthington represented me during alimony renegotiation and was critical to amenable resolution on my behalf. He offered extremely valuable insights and advice and was available for even my most minute questions. His counsel was wise, measured, and clearly showed great competence. I am ext...remely grateful to have had him represent me and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
