Absolutely the best lawyer!!

Attorney Whitworth represented me in a nasty child support matter with my ex-husband. My ex-husband refused to pay child support that was ordered in the divorce proceedings. Attorney Whitworth and Julie were the best. They communicated with me often and responded to all emails and phone calls. I ...truly appreciate their professional handling of my legal matter. Needless to say, I was warned by several friends that hiring a flat fee attorney was a mistake, after reading the reviews on Avvo I contacted and hired Attorney Whitworth and I am Sooooo Glad that I did!!

Legitimation

Sean Whitworth was very thorough he assured me every step of the way that it will be a smooth process he always kept me alert and updated on what's going on he was always on time to court Sean Whitworth is an angel from the heavens because without him I would have been a part-time dad paying child su...pport to a woman that doesn't care about anything Sean Whitworth prevented that from happening by being on the job and executing at every level. Now I have my boys every other week with no problems and I only can thank Sean for that.

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.

Exceeded My Expectations!!!

Just when I began to feel that finding a competent, trustworthy attorney was too far fetched, I found Sean Whitworth! My previous attorney experience was a nightmare……..an expensive nightmare I might add. I invested $8,000 before the initial emergency hearing. My case was complicated and compounde...d by a custody battle with my wife. After my first experience with an attorney, I was left devastated, angry and totally dissatisfied to the point of developing a general mistrust for attorneys. On top of attorney mistrust, my wife would go through unimaginable lengths to make my life miserable. Fortunately, God blessed me to come across the name Sean Whitworth. After explaining my case as well as financial limitations, Mr. Whitworth agreed to take my case and assist me with a 3 1/2 year old case. My immediate assessment found Mr. Whitworth to be very trustworthy and a high degree of compassion and passion for law. My case was finalized on May 5, 2014. Mr. Whitworth was extremely successful in fighting on my behalf. At one point, when I was willing to compromise on child support offered by my ex……Mr. Whitworth asserted himself and maintained an uncompromising commitment to the best interest of my case. I am eternally grateful and highly blessed that Mr. Whitworth was my attorney. His professionalism, expert knowledge, compassion and superior oral presentation in court paid off. I was awarded custody of our 4 children, child support and clear guidelines that my ex would have to adhere to in efforts to effectively co parent. As a single African American Dad in the State of Ga……..God used Mr. Whitworth to demonstrate excellence at it's best! On May 5th, I witnessed the most important chapter in my life………Closure on my past and most importantly, the provision of a structure where I can continue to be a loving, nurturing, providing father to my kids. Mr. Whitworth is an amazing man first followed by being an incredible attorney. It was clear that his ethical and moral competence guided his practice each step to victory! In addition to all of the above, his fees were unbelievably affordable. I would highly recommend Mr. Whitworth as a trustworthy and proficient attorney.

Sean is very affordable and knowledgable on family law

Sean handled my child support modification issue quickly. He was able to secure the information and documentation I needed to from my child’s mother without me having to deal with a lengthy court battle. It only took one month and my issues were resolved. I would definitely recommend Sean to all o...f my friends and co-workers with these types of challenges.

"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."

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.
