Very Satisfied

I am a single father who retained Sean Whitworth to handle my custody case for my children. Sean was very professional and provided answers to all of my questions during this difficult time. Sean represented me through the entire process and guided me through the complications that arose during the... case. In the end, I now have custody of my two Children and have no doubt that Sean’s expertise and knowledge of the court system greatly helped my cause. I would also like to say thank you to Sean for an excellent and very passionate closing argument.

3 years of superb representation

I’ve been through 3 years of legal situations all with Sean Whitworth. What I learned is you have to trust your attorney and Sean is the guy! His billing system is better than most and you’re never overcharged! I won multiple cases in my favor , actually everything that came against me was won in my ...favor! I recommend him highly. He is very busy but always gets back to you and has a friendly staff. Got my son back after he was wrongfully taken in a divorce !!! Thanks Sean!!!!

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.

Custody case

Sean is a outstanding person as well as a lawyer. He was very straightforward with me from the beginning. He gave me the whole picture as to what could happen. He was great in court and stuck to the issues at stake.Being a single father with doubt the system would grant a father temporary custody, Se...an made me a believer that good things do happen to good people. He is very ethical and gives it to you straightforward. I would highly recommend anyone needing counsel to hire Sean.His staff is excellent with top notch expertise. I can't say enough about Michelle, who right from the beginning had me comfortable to our approach and how things were going to go.I needed someone to start immediately as time was very crucial on my case.They made it happen and led me to victory of round 1 with confidence moving forward. Thank you from my family,Sean,Michelle and Disha for everything.

Child Custody

First and foremost, I would like to thank Mr. Whitworth for his hardwork and commitment with my case. I've had custody of my son since he was 4 years old. In 2015, at the age of 8, his biological mom decided she was ready to be a mother and took him away. Not knowing my rights, I was limited with wha...t I could and couldn't do. I reached out to Mr. Whitworth, explained my story with all details. He then told me that I have a great case and that with time, we would get my son back. After the first hearing, my son was able to return home for a temporary order. During this time, Mr. Whitworth continued to work on my case so we would be prepared for the final hearing. After a long year, the final hearing was scheduled. Mr. Whitworth presented all of the documents and preparation to the opposing attorney. They quickly conceded and agreed to making the temporary order a permanent order. I appreciate everything he did for me during that year and a half period. He remained in contact with me through out the entire process. He walked me through how everything would look and gave me tremendous confidence in him and the system. Once again I would like to say thank you to Mr. Sean Whitworth. I don't know where me and my family would be without you. Thanks again!!!

"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."
