About The Firm

Strong Advocacy and Caring Representation

High-Quality Legal Services

Sean Whitworth family law lawyer in Marietta Georgia

When facing the reality of litigation, most people realize that they will need an attorney to navigate the process. The dilemma they have is choosing which attorney is best for them. The relationship between a client and an attorney in litigated matters is a very personal relationship, and during the months of advocacy, there will be a vast amount of information shared and many expectations created. Because of this, it is essential that you trust and feel comfortable with the person you hire to guide and represent you through this process. It is also essential that your attorney knows what is necessary to defend your interests and offers a reasonable and clear fee structure to assure you are financially able to support your litigation.

For that reason, we make sure our clients not only receive high-quality legal services, but also the reassurance they deserve. This office has successfully litigated hundreds of matters throughout the metro Atlanta area and has the knowledge and expertise to represent you and achieve the goals you seek. We are also one of the few offices in the area willing to rationally approach the fee structure and work on flat fees.

We do not bill our clients beyond what they can pay and discuss the desires and expectations of the client and reach an agreement that meets their goals and the financial realities of their situation.

This office takes all divorce and family law cases seriously, the attorney you retained and spent time expressing the nuances of your case with will be the attorney who returns your calls and answers your emails. The attorney you felt confident enough to retain will be the attorney in the courtroom by your side, and most importantly you will have access to this attorney as we never forget that we may be in courtrooms daily but our clients are experiencing these moments for the first time.

I can’t say thank you enough for the work these 3 did. I needed saving in a modification and contempt case after hiring a scam artist attorney to file my case. Sean came in and their team saved everything. Colby was awesome in court. Michelle is an absolute superstar and Sean’s honest and direct conversations with me kept me off the ledge many times. Thank you all so much.

I cannot recommend Sean Whitworth highly enough. Family law matters are incredibly stressful and emotional, and having an attorney who is both knowledgeable and compassionate makes all the difference. Sean was professional, responsive, and thorough throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain every step, answered my questions clearly, and made sure I understood my options before making any decisions. I always felt that he had my best interests in mind and was genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome. What stood out most was his ability to remain calm, strategic, and focused, even during difficult negotiations. He balanced strong advocacy with professionalism, which helped keep the process moving forward while protecting my rights. If you are looking for a family law attorney who is honest, experienced, attentive, and truly cares about his clients, I would not hesitate to recommend Sean Whitworth. His guidance and dedication gave me confidence during one of the most challenging times in my life.

Couldn’t say enough good things about Sean & Michelle. They helped us to resolve a legal matter with efficiency, compassion, and transparency. Sean had confidence from the first conversation. They served the other party in record speed. Michelle kept us in the know the entire time, giving updates and communication whenever possible. They got us our intended outcome rather quickly. Thank you!
