Amazing Attorney and Gentleman

WOW!!! That's all I can say. Mr. Whitworth is an amazing attorney and gentleman. His skills and temperament was awesome throughout this very difficult journey. He is kind but tough when necessary. He guided us through the process. Explained everything. He acted with speed, urgency and thorough...ness and what we were told could take a year or more, Sean delivered in a few months. We are still in shock at how quickly he delivered the result we needed. His fees are so low compared to other attorneys we interviewed. He was our third attorney after paying high consultation and retainer fees with no service. His communication was amazing. He and his Assistant, Michelle were diligent and responsive to answer any questions and encouraged us to ask questions and not be afraid to share our concerns. It was an amazing process, progress and ultimate VICTORY. Sean and Michelle our family will be forever grateful to you and will gladly refer anyone facing the challenges we faced. God bless....

Outstanding and affordable attorney - Exceptional Service

Sean has been my attorney for a little over two years now and it has been a true blessing having him represent me in family court. My cases with my ex were extremely challenging and have been ongoing and dreadful for over 10 years leaving me often times feeling helpless and defeated with other attor...neys in the past. However, since meeting and hiring Sean, he has been able to successfully resolve and win ALL of my cases that my ex kept prolonging. Sean and his team have a great depth of knowledge of the law, and his representation as my attorney has been outstanding each time. When I needed legal assistance Sean and his team gave immediate attention and action. For court, Sean was always prepared and ready, confident and assertive. He defended me and advocated for me and my child. The entire team is compassionate, professional, personable, reliable, and trustworthy. If Sean was unavailable, Michelle and Aurielle were always there to assist and they kept me informed and updated. I strongly recommend Sean and his team to handle your family law matters...You will not regret it. I more than appreciate all they have done over the past 2 1/2 years. They are a true blessing.

Knowledgeable, Professional and Kind!

Divorce is a painful experience. I was extremely frustrated and wanted to get through this as soon as possible, with the least damage to my spirit as well as my pocket. I am so thankful to Mr. Whitworth and his entire staff. They answered all my questions and provided me with a complete and thorough ...breakdown of my cost. They took the time to explain the process and made me feel like I was their only client. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm!

Best Family Law Attorney in Atlanta Metro Area - Bar None

Sean and his team took on my case as I decided to substitute counsel at a critical juncture during my divorce case. Right form my first contact, Sean was immediately available, attentive to my concerns, extremely personable, and most importantly very knowledgeable and results driven. He SHATTERED ex...pectations in getting a highly contentious divorce case that other attorneys projected would take years, finalized within 2 months. Throughout the process, Sean and his team exhibited excellent professionalism, communication skills, and follow-up. Sean goes the extra mile by translating legal jargon into easily understood layman terms to put you at ease. He further has the emotional intelligence to help you navigate through a difficult experience. To compliment his own skills, he also has very capable staff working under him. Sean Whitworth is an elite family law attorney. He should be your first choice if you live in the Atlanta metro area. Thank you for all your help!!!

Posted by Doris | January 16, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

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!!

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."

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.
