A Phenomenal staff & attorney

After a ridiculously expensive and lengthy divorce, I hired Sean Whitworth for a modification. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results and wish I had hired him to represent me in the divorce. His staff is amazing and communicative throughout the process. I will never even think about hiring ...another family law attorney in the future and will refer everyone to Sean’s office for any family law matter. Sean, his staff, & their system works - hire him and trust the process!

There are no words to thank Sean enough!!!!!

I cannot thank Sean and his team enough for all he has done for me and my family. From day one, before I even officially retained Sean, he fought for me and my case. He was fully invested in my situation and emotionally involved. He was always extremely professional and it is blatantly obvious not on...ly how knowledgable he is but how much he GENUINELY cares for his clients. He went above and beyond for me every single day and got me my son back when I felt like my entire world was falling apart. My case was unique, it was messy and he gave me something to believe in. Sean is personable, relatable, honest extremely intelligent, and all around amazing attorney and person in general, which is hard to come by if you have searched for a lawyer before. It can be extremely overwhelming to find a genuinely GOOD lawyer, but not only is Sean a good lawyer, but a good person as well, he is the complete package. He was always honest with me, always kept me informed, kept me in the loop, always made time for me, and always made me feel like he had my back. For lack of a better term, Sean and his team KNOW their stuff and they will FIGHT for you EVERY single day, they will NOT give up on you. I promise you will not find a lawyer that will invest his time or commit to fighting for you and your case like Sean will. Just when I felt like giving up, when I felt hopeless, lost, scared, confused, and a mix of so many other nightmarish emotions, Sean was there to fight for me and to make sure I didn't give up, and he won for us, and got my son back for me. As I said before, he is EXTREMELY knowledgable- he has not only the personality, but the education and the experience to fight for you and get you through possibly the worst moments of your life. He will be there for you as he was for so many of my worst moments and I cannot thank him enough. He truly is the BEST you will find. Look no further. If you need somebody to FIGHT for you, and to WIN for you, he is your guy. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK you to Sean and his entire team. I will FOREVER be grateful to all of you!!!!!

Excellent Divorce Law Attorney

Sean is an amazing Family Law and Divorce Law Attorney. I personally used his services for some family issues and highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a divorce or divorce related issues. He is located in Cobb County Ga and charges flat fees, which is great.

Ultimate Professional

Attorney Sean Whitworth was a true advocate during my custody case. He was professional, honest, and always made me feel supported. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, I got the outcome I hoped for. Highly recommend!

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....

"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."
