Excellent Attorney Thorough

Ms. Worley and her legal firm gets a "Triple A" rating from our association. We presented a legal conundrum of a business owner that needed immediate help on specific business sale transaction and Ms. Worley and Worley came to the rescue after the business owner's counsel could not even expend the e...ffort to help a regular client. The work and counsel was excellent and the business owner was able to move on with their business sale and Worley Law handled all the business filing papers and asset purchase agreement like the "pros" that they are. Caroline is extremely responsive, attentive and pro-active. The best Ohio.

Great attorney and fabulous individual

I have know Caroline Worley for the past eight years. She has assisted me and my organization with countless contracts and feedback on business opportunities. But more than just having strong legal knowledge, Caroline is also a small business owner providing support and respect along with sound leg...al advice.

Amazing Full Service Office!

Worley Law is amazing. They have helped us with many issues from business buyout, employee handbooks, HR issues and have provided us with referrals where needed. We are confident in Worley Law to take care of our legal needs.

I've referred countless businesses to Worley Law

I've known Caroline for 5 years - since she started her firm - and she has been an indispensable part of my company's growth. She helped me with contracts and agreements when I first started up, and she and her staff have been there every step of the way since. Whether a complex or simple question ...or issue, they've been fast, courteous, and 100% fantastic. I can't tell you how many people/companies I have referred to Worley Law!

She gets it.

I have been working with Caroline for the past several years. She is my small business attorney, and she has also handled some personal estate items, as well. Additionally, she gives of her time to a non-profit with which I am involved, helping women who are starting their own businesses navigate the... legal hurdles. And she is the attorney of many of the small businesses with which I work. As an HR consultant, my network is almost as important as my own commitment to my clients, so I do not refer them to people lightly. I trust that Caroline, whether individually or through her practice, will give me and my clients solid guidance at an affordable rate.

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.

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.
