Southworth PC - Atlanta, GA

I definitely picked the wrong law firm. I had a new inexperienced attorney. I’m out of $7,500. I could have done a better job than this law firm. I would never recommend this law firm to anyone. If you are considering this firm, you might as well represent yourself. I have never seen a law firm to charge for phone calls $60-120. How are we going to communicate. They request money randomly every one to two months after. Needless to say, I lost my case. Avoid this law firm at all costs. Worse decision I could have ever made.

Mr. Southworth and Ms. Taylor did an excellent job handling my case. I wasn't sure at first if I had a case but after discussion with Mr. Southworth I felt I needed to pursue. I was assigned to Ms. Taylor who did an excellent job. She was always available to listen and answer my questions. In the end, my case was settled to my satisfaction. If I had not of pursued a lawyer such as Southworth PC, I highly doubt the settlement would have ended in my favor. I highly recommend Southworth PC, especially if you have a case with the Government.

Hiring Southworth’s PC was the biggest mistake of my life. I had a very strong case as I was employed by my federal agency for 33 years with a meticulous record and many awards. Shaun Southworth, although on initial contact seems nice, is actually a very nasty and arrogant man. He takes your money in increments of $5,000 until your funds run out then puts you on a payment plan and assigns your case to Georgia Lawrence. She is a very inexperienced lawyer who is so lacking in skills and judgement you have to wonder if she is intentionally losing your case. I had a grueling 6.5 hour deposition with the US Justice Department. She was on Zoom supposedly supporting me. She came back from lunch 20 minutes late which really irritated the Justice Department attorney then had to Leave for an hour to speak to another judge on another case … leaving me on my own … then when she came back from that meeting she forgot to turn off her video .. and there was Georgia sitting in her car! It was so embarrassing and unprofessional. I fought this case for five years finally getting to US federal court and Georgia filed my case in the wrong format so the Federal judge disregarded ALL of my disputed facts using the Justice Department false narrative to dismiss my case. Shaun said well all courts and states are different! Isn’t that what his job is .. to know how to properly file a case in the proper format in Federal Court? He was supposedly monitoring my case. He took no responsibility for this mistake and damaging loss. He then immediately dropped me as a client. He refused to even explain the Judges decision to me… he refused to respond to my subsequent inquiries as of what to do. I have no means to Appeal now. I have to wonder if this loss was intentional or part of how he does business … taking a loss in some sort of deal with these federal agencies as many others have mentioned in his online reviews. I too am filing a complaint with the Bar Association and hope that anyone else who has been hurt by this unscrupulous, inept law firm will do the same. This should not stand. I had hundreds of pages of emails and witnesses to support my case that never was considered partially because Shaun was so tight with spending money none of my witnesses were deposed as I asked, so nothing was on record in support of my case. It was an epic fail and it all goes back to Shaun Southworth . Yes Georgia is incapable but he is ultimately responsible. I am devastated by this as my 33 year career meant a lot to me. Please do not make the mistake I did and please go with another firm. Also I have been monitoring and screenshotting his negative reviews for several years now and there is a patter for sure. Whenever a negative review pops up it is immediately doused with a sprinkle of several overly positive ridiculously corny five star reviews. Hopefully people posting these reviews will somehow leave contact info so it can be shown what he is doing. I would be more than willing to join forces. Shaun Southworth is a ruthless heartless man and does not care about you or your case irregardless of what he says to your initial contact … that’s just the hook to draw you in. Once you are a client he will not speak to you, ignores all of your calls, he told me to shut up once that I didn’t know what I was talking about but once explained he realized I did know what I was talking about and I was right. No apology of course from him.

-THE STAR TIMES trillion! Shaun told me I had a win & I could also take settlement because Andrea (the judge) likes to settle. Took me 1 year to get my tax returns saved up ($5,000 Trust fund retainer fee paid in full to Shaun Southworth) & even ended up homeless for 6 months during the wait for Shaun to finish appealing my case. Got word last week after 2 years of asking what is status of settlement EEOC says I lost case! When speaking to Shaun he plays dumb saying, “ I don’t know what happened here but you clearly have a case & we have 3 options 1. let it go 2. write a demand letter to agency 3. $2500 more for court hearing!” I asked for the balance owed to me from trust fund retainer instead he says I have a $42.88 bill from 2021! When I did the first appealed myself, I the same exact results paying Shaun $5,000. DON’T DO IT! I filed my initial compliant in 2016 with EEOC & this is 7 yrs later nothing, just broke busted & disgusted! Time wasted as well. The 5 stars are paid people or family & friends! Just like the previous reviewer said he hires inexperienced lawyer such as Georgia she was clueless! If there is ANY LAWYER OUT HERE WHO CAN TRULY HELP ME PLEASE FIND ME THROUGH MY PROFILE I HAVE EVERY DOCUMENT OF PROOF TO WIN MY CASE SHAUN & friends didn’t try! They just greased their palms! My name is Keshia Webb & my case is against defense commissary agency!!! I thought I better add my name so Shaun won’t come on here saying he has never had a client by the goggle name I use! And yes Georgia is awful! What was she even saying??? Negative negative negative negative & so on stars Look how when he get a negative review. He has his team do fake 5 star reviews notice they have only done 1 or 2 Google reviews. Be a fool if you want to & I am going to contact the Georgia Bar also
