About:

When you are charged with a criminal offense and need a divorce attorney, you need a strong defense strategy. The keystone of any legal defense strategy is a driven, experienced criminal defense and divorce lawyer. Look no further than the Law Office of Steve Whitworth for honest, aggressive, reasonably priced criminal defense and family law representation. When you are facing penalties like incarceration, fines, probation, and the loss of certain rights and opportunities, invest in yourself by investing in competent legal representation. I am a solo practitioner who represents clients throughout the greater Sacramento Area. My goal is to bring each case to a fair, reasonable outcome. Sometimes, that means going to trial and aggressively defending the client. In other cases, it means exploring alternatives within the criminal and family law justice system.

"Absolute scam artist, you will need the BAR association and malpractice attorney to bail you out if you work with this clown. This man got me a 5 year restraining order against my own son because he FAILED TO APPEAR for my court date. Not only that this LIER had the audacity to pretend he went to the hearing! After that ordeal and promising to make things right, he FAILED TO APPEAR AGAIN for a second emergency rfo set forth by his own office! As if the damage wasn't enough the one court date he showed up for UNPREPARED and UNINFORMED about the most basic details on my case. After that court date he offered to "graciously" pay sanctions. Of course he FAILED TO PAY COURT ORDER SANCTIONS as well. I haven't even got into how he conducts buisness. He is impossible to contact, never shows up to his own scheduled appointments with his clients and fails to put in any work or effort into your case. If you hire Steve Whitworth expect to have your life turn into a catastrophe. I expect he will be banned from practicing law in California in the near future."

"Steve is an absolute gentleman. I am in a very vulnerable position being falsely accused. Steve called me and told me what I was doing wrong and how his help was in my best interest. I highly recommend his services to others."

"I have had the exact same issues as Ted mentioned .this man took my money they didn’t show up to two of my court dates with a child custody case .hes impossible to contact and when he does answer its when he’s threatened with being fired and or to go to the state bar .hes messed up my case significantly and caused unessacerry suffering for me and my daughter due to his lack of doing his job that he is paid to do.he had his paralegal Jose call me at 11 am to tell me he was on his way to the court date that was at 10 am and was already completed cuz I hired another attorney as I expected him to not show up and he only called likely cuz the other lawyer(opposing consul) told him I had new consul .the first date he missed he was like yeah im gonna be on zoom what court room is it ? Like um what man ? You dont know what court room it is ?he had completly forgotten about it and never got on zoom if they even offered it .he then didn’t get my any visitation with my daughter which at that time I hadn’t seen in 3 months due to him not doing his job .i thought hiring a professional would streamline the process .in hind sight it would have been better to just do it myself as it would have gotten done .hes yet to the this day to refund me my money or to give me a bill showing what he’s done or follow up like promised on anything or even follow his own contract with me .hes a typical narcissist who will try to sweet talk or gas light depending on how the convo go and try to talk down to you to manipulate and control the conversation .stay clear of him.do no give him your money .i will be going to the state bar and hopefully this time his suspension is longer then one year like what occurred in 2021 -2022 where he took customers money and didn’t deposit it in th trust fund but for sure he’s done much more unethical things then that I am certain .he is a criminal .stay clear !!!"

"I can't recommend Steve Whitworth services highly enough. Not only was he hyper-responsive, and quickly to made himself available whenever I had a concern. He is a skillful, masterful negotiator who went to the mat for me and resolved my case quickly. He is a straight-shooter, yet sensitive and empathetic. I felt confident and assured having his intelligence, experience, and tenacity on my side."

"If you value your time and money, STAY AWAY. I made a big mistake reading positive reviews and hiring mr Steve Whitworth.  first appointment was great. Lots of promises and as soon as you make that deposit and he wants you to pay the whole sum right away, you are out of luck. Communication is NON EXISTENT, you will chase and beg him for an updates about your case and in the best case scenario you will receive a text “ ALL IS WELL.” The most important thing in a lawyer is COMMUNICATION with the client, which is non existent with this lawyer, if you are looking for more stress and loose a lot of money, then go ahead, my recommendation is to find a different lawyer."
