Highly recommended!

My supervisor and I had a delicate yet persistent discord that influenced my job satisfaction and overall well-being. Shaun counseled me on ways to move forward, and was able to help negotiate a change in supervisor on my behalf. I am much happier with the new supervisory structure and could not than...k Shaun enough for his efforts. Highly recommended!

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.

My best interests at heart

After conducting an extensive search for an attorney, I became a client of yours, the Southworth PC Attorneys at Law. It was an extremely difficult time for me as I was being subjected to harassment and retaliation. As a high level supervisor with the federal government, who had represented managem...ent in many employment issues, I thought I was well equipped to manage the daunting tasks. I became quickly overwhelmed. I was thankful I did not have to carry the burden myself. The firm was responsive to me and attentive to every detail of my case. I always felt you had my best interests at heart. The firm was able to identify and capitalize on issues that I overlooked. I hope to never have to go through something like this again, but if I did I would not hesitate to call you again and would highly recommend you to others without reservation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
