Sean helped me with My Big WIN

I am very pleased with the results of my case. Sean worked after hours to help with my crazy work schedule. He quickly responds to my emails whenever I had a concern or question. I was petitioned for a family law case for my daughter which her father was seeking legitimization, name change, visitat...ion and child support modification. He helped me figure out tactics to be successful in my case. Sean put a contempt of child support order in and I won! I child support stayed the same and my arrears added to the monthly amount. I also, won with keeping my daughters last same as it has been for the 4 years of her life. She carries my last name and is carried by me and my family. She has been identified as that last name. I was very happy that I got everything I wanted from my case plus more. I would recommend him to anybody.

Great lawyer

Sean did a great job handling my case, that was suppose to be a simple modification but due to my ex's lawyer, made it a drawn out 9 month process. Sean stuck by me all the way through, and did exactly what he promised and we WON the case as he predicted. He was fair in what he did and promised. I... would recommend him to all my friends and family and will definitely be using him again in the future. Thanks for all your hard work and patience!

Sean did a great job helping me through my divorce process.

Sean did a great job helping me through my divorce process. I interviewed three divorce attorneys before talking to Sean and he was the only one who took the time to listen to me. What should have been a simple, uncomplicated divorce became complicated with three visits to the court due to the opposi...te party unwillingness to cooperate. And he did all of that for a flat fee. At the end I got exactly what he promised me on my very first visit. Sean was always helpful. He answered my questions in a timely manner. Every time he was prepared for the court, he talked straight to the point and protected my interests through the hearings. I would recommend Sean to anyone who needs a family attorney without hesitation.

I would definitely recommend Sean

Sean worked with me to help me keep my kids from moving from out of the state across country. He worked very hard for me and got the end result that I needed. Pros: Sean is very fair in regards to his costs. The staff is very prompt with their communication. Sean did a great job in understan...ding the basic principles of the case and did not suggest things to me that many other attorneys did that would have just been a waste of money. In the end, my kids are staying here so I can still be part of their everyday lives. Cons: Sean is a very busy man and there were times where I would have liked a little more personal/individual attention .

Experience Counts

I am so impressed with Attorney Sean Whitworth! His passion and knowledge that come from is devotion to his Craft as well as his experience, become evident from the moment you meet him and discuss your concerns. I used Sean for a Criminal Matter concerning my Daughter as well as on a Family Law Iss...ue. Excellence is an understatement. His tenacious personality in Court has gained the respect of the Judges and fellow Attorneys. I highly recommend Sean Whitworth to anyone that needs fair, solid representation.

Child custody lawyer | Nov 30

Relationship: Other

"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."
