I couldn't have survived this without Sean!!!

If you need a warrior lawyer a lawyer that has your back and will fight to the bitter end with you Sean is the attorney for you!! He works for his clients as though you are his only client with your best interest in the forefront!

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.

Great Attorney!!

Sean started out as my divorce attorney. I had a stalking situation and he had a Battery Charge and a TPO violation Charge. Sean and his staff of Disha & Michelle were very supportive thru this whole ordeal. Sean got me bail on an aggravated stalking charge which is a no bond situation. What he say...s he delivers and I hope he will continue to fix my record. He even texted me the next two days to make sure I was home safe and sound. I will continue to provide referrals for this firm

Knowledgeable and straightforward

After 15 months, 3 different divorce attorneys, lots of stress and money spent on attorneys fees, I was blessed to found Sean Whitworth. He had one month to prepare for my trial and deal with a very uncooperative oposición. At our first visit, he heard my case and immediately understood what i was fi...ghting for and how to defend it. He knew the law that protected my rights and stood by it to the day of the trial. He was straight forward and told me what I should expect, what he will be able to do and what he needed from me in order to prepared for trial. He filed all the documents, he said he will filed, the next day of our first meeting. He looked at me in the eye and put me at ease at a very stressful time in my life. He was stunned on how complicated the other attorneys had made my case of divorce with no children. He will not waist your time scaring you with complicated verbiage about the law. He is easy to talk to and he takes the time to listen. At trial, I was able to communicate with Sean as the testimony was being delivered and he will make notes to cross examine. I was very impress of how confident he presented my case at the beginning and at the closing statement. I felt protected by Sean and his knowledge of the law. Sean will defend your rights and make your anxiety go away. I will definitely recommend Sean to anyone that what’s strong representation. Thank you Sean for defending me and helping me get what I deserve. I was very happy with the fair results of my case. God bless you and your family!

Best Divorce attorney you can hire

I owe my life to Sean! I went through numerous attorneys during my divorce/custody battle until I met Sean. Everyone who came before just wanted money and didn't care about me or my child. When I met Sean, that all changed; I could tell he actually wanted to help us. I now have sole custody of my chi...ld; (I fought for 50/50) and my son is thriving! Thank you Sean from the bottom of my heart!

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."
