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.

Trustworthy and Honest

After a grueling experience with 2 other lawyers, I received a referral from a family friend. Sean was not only knowledgeable, but passionate. The level of expertise regarding family law was outstanding. I felt more relieved and relaxed after my consultation regarding what I needed to do with my case.... Thank you so much for your help. Best lawyer in Marietta.

Excellent attorney

Mr. Whitworth is very knowledgeable and was able to object and defend me very quickly. He won every aspect of my case and got me more than I ever expected. The flat fee was the only way I could afford an attorney and he even won that so my ex has to pay me back for my attorney fees. He has his own wa...y of working; stick with him because he won’t let you down! He got me the best results possible and is great at what he does. I am so thankful for Mr. Whitworth and forever grateful that I was referred to him.

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!

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."
