I could not be more pleased with Southworth PC.

I could not be more pleased with Southworth PC. From the initial contact Mr. Shaun Southworth was attentive to the matter. Ms. Terina Williams did a great job handling the case from start to finish. Ms. Williams did an excellent job at becoming knowledgeable with the case, weighing all options and di...scovering what the best outcome for me as a client would be. There is nothing I can say I wasn't prepared for. I was always informed on pertinent information and upcoming matter. The fact that Ms. Williams would brief me on upcoming potentials and on what to except next helped my anxiety and prepared me. Though it took some time to resolve I always felt that the case was still an important matter and was able to get updates at any time or any questions/ concerns answered in a timely matter. Overall I was very pleased with the outcome. Southworth PC is a reputable firm I would recommend.

Toe-to-toe With Opposing Counsel In A Smooth And Calm Manner

Your firm was on point with legal research and analysis. I would not have been able to get here without your legal representation. During the hearing, Mr. Southworth realized immediately what the Agency was trying to do and went toe-to-toe with opposing counsel in a smooth and calm manner. He asked ...the right questions to show the violations of the law. I appreciate that you have been here to take the stress off of me, and I feel I could leave everything to you and not worry about it. Thank you!

You got the job done

My biggest thing was that the firm was professional and courteous. I cannot even say how pleased I was with the representation. The firm acted with compassion and empathy and you got the job done. I was always kept updated. Even though the process was unknown to me, I felt more than comfortable wit...h your guidance throughout the process. It was also clear the firm was knowledgeable of the law, and you did your homework. Although the firm could not promise anything, it was clear your attorneys valued integrity and I whole heartedly trusted your advice.

Employment dispute matter

I worked with the firm on an employment dispute matter and appreciated the results the firm helped me obtain, as well as their knowledge of the law in my complex case which involved multiple parties and multiple lawsuits. I also appreciated how the firm structured a fee arrangement to make representa...tion affordable while allowing the firm to pursue aggressive representation. Having worked with other attorneys, I was impressed with the way the firm operated and the results they helped me obtain.

Victory

Mr. Southworth was professional, courteous, and very attentive when dealing with my case. Within an hour of my email to his firm I was contacted by his staff and spoke to him that day. They worked through the financial aspect quickly and within a week my appeal was on its way. The staff remained in c...onstant contact and ensured that I remained comfortable throughout this process. During the hearing Mr. Southworth was poised and unforgiving under even the most intense exchanges. His steadfast approach definitely helped us walk away with a victory in a case that felt as though all the cards were stacked against me. After contacting multiple firms, I can without hesitation say that I am glad I chose them.

  • 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.
