I owe everything to Sean

Sean has been representing me since 2012 when my divorce was finalized. The cards were stacked against me, but every single time, he managed to defend me properly and i left victorious in the courtroom. I've hired him on 4 separate occasions and couldn't imagine hiring any other attorney in the futur...e. The last case I had was very nasty, my ex had made numerous falsified allegations against me. Sean used his expert knowledge of Georgia family law to convey my case to the judge and I was awarded sole legal and physical custody, the mother can now only visit my daughter in a supervised setting to ensure her safety. Honestly I don't know what I would do without having him in my corner. His fees are flat-rate and beyond reasonable as opposed to dealing with a firm that charges hourly and doesn't provide any real results. He knows the ins and outs of my court proceedings and always fights his hardest for his clients.

Outstanding Attorney

He helped me gain custody of my daughter a couple years back. He taught me so much and thanks to his knowledgeable advising and litigating we got the results I was hoping for. Thank you Sean!!

Best Family Law Attorney in Atlanta Metro Area - Bar None

Sean and his team took on my case as I decided to substitute counsel at a critical juncture during my divorce case. Right form my first contact, Sean was immediately available, attentive to my concerns, extremely personable, and most importantly very knowledgeable and results driven. He SHATTERED ex...pectations in getting a highly contentious divorce case that other attorneys projected would take years, finalized within 2 months. Throughout the process, Sean and his team exhibited excellent professionalism, communication skills, and follow-up. Sean goes the extra mile by translating legal jargon into easily understood layman terms to put you at ease. He further has the emotional intelligence to help you navigate through a difficult experience. To compliment his own skills, he also has very capable staff working under him. Sean Whitworth is an elite family law attorney. He should be your first choice if you live in the Atlanta metro area. Thank you for all your help!!!

Fantastic Attorney

I would highly recommend Mr. Whitworth for any of your family law needs. Mr. Whitworth handled my case with compassion and zeal. I had a highly-contentious matter that involved custody of my children and Mr. Whitworth remained hands-on through the entirety of my case. He returned my calls promptly... and always helped me understand the process and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. In the end, I received a favorable outcome and didn't have to break the bank to do it.

"I was peripherally involved in a case with Sean, who represented a parent in a custody dispute. While everyone else was usually up in arms with drama, including myself, Sean remained collected and focused, and kept the case on track. The case recently resolved at mediation, and the outcome was the best possible scenario for all parties, and most importantly, the baby. Sean is patient and kind to all parties throughout litigation, but can and certainly will, become the staunch advocate that is needed to make sure the law is followed, and his client's legal rights protected. I recommend Sean to anyone who wants to ensure the best possible outcome for themselves and their children in a custody dispute. Custody dipsutes are painful enough as is....you need an attorney who will avoid the drama and stay focused on the lives that will be affected."

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
