About Sean
Biography
I am a Family Law and Divorce Law Attorney based in Marietta, serving clients throughout the Atlanta Metro Area. With nearly two decades of experience, I focus exclusively on family law and divorce matters, helping individuals and families navigate legal challenges with clarity, strategy, and confidence.
My practice includes divorce, child custody, child support, legitimation, and post-divorce modifications. As a solo attorney, I work directly with every client, offering a more personal and responsive experience. Clients appreciate having consistent access to their attorney and a clear understanding of their case at every stage.
I am committed to making legal services straightforward and accessible. I offer flat fee services whenever appropriate, so clients understand the cost upfront without the uncertainty of hourly billing. I also provide free consultations, giving you the opportunity to discuss your situation and explore your options without financial pressure.
My approach is personable, practical, and focused on achieving real results. I bring nearly 20 years of experience working within the Atlanta area legal system, combined with a commitment to clear communication and efficient resolution strategies.
If you are looking for a Family Law and Divorce Law Attorney in the Atlanta area who offers experience, personal attention, and transparent pricing, I am here to help you move forward with confidence.
I offer free consultations because you cannot help people if you are not willing to listen to their problems.
I offer flat rate billing because the process is difficult enough without dealing with monthly bills from your attorney.

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...

I hired Sean because of his "rate" and favorable reviews. I have 4 children and was faced with a complicated and messy divorce due to the disposition of my marriage.

Sean Robert Whitworth's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"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."
"A true professional. Incredibly knowledgeable, and result driven. Highly recommended. I endorse this lawyer."
"This lawyer provides excellent personal service to each and every client. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Whitworth is a very knowledgeable attorney in the area of Family Law and well respected in the community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Sean has a vast knowledge of the law and is a skilled advocate in the courtroom. I have seen him get excellent results for his clients."
