Shannon Whitworth On Litigation

Our duty as attorneys is to both advocate and educate. A lawyer whose client wins the case but finds themselves right back in a similar dispute in a few years hasn’t done his job. I want to keep you doing the business you know best...yours. But if we have to go to trial, we’re going to win.

Beyond The Firm

I’m married with a young son. I enjoy reading, sports and classical music.

Defining Legal Moment

Some might ask how we can use our position as lawyers for truth and for the good of society representing corporations.

Quickly after joining the firm I realized that in my practice that if I can go to the head of a company and say, ‘Look, you screwed this up, and I am going to show you how to do it right from here on so you never wind up in this place again,’ I’ve educated an entire business. Everyone’s livelihood, from the top down has been positively affected because of what we were able to do.I believe that this firm demonstrates this every day in our practice. That is why we are here and why we do what we do.
