On November 12th, I found myself in a rather distressing situation when I was unexpectedly arrested in Chicago due to a pending warrant of which I had no prior knowledge. This ordeal was particularly disconcerting for me as I am an international student who had come to the United States with the sole purpose of pursuing an education. During my time of confinement, I was held at the Cook County Jail in Chicago, while my mother, who resides thousands of miles away, was grappling with the helplessness of my situation. It emerged that the warrant in question was issued in California for an incident dating back to 2019, and I was entirely unaware of its existence. In my mother's quest to seek assistance, she was referred to the Worthington Law Center by a friend who had experienced their legal services. Without delay, she contacted Mr. Thomas Worthington, who promptly assumed responsibility for my case. Mr. Worthington extended a remarkable degree of compassion and provided invaluable support during this challenging time. Upon my transfer to California to address the outstanding warrant, my mother remained in constant communication with Mr. Worthington. His commitment to my case was unwavering. On the very first day of my arrival at a California jail, Mr. Worthington reached out to me and provided an initial assessment of the situation. The charges I faced were formidable and carried substantial risks, making the situation extremely daunting. Throughout the two weeks I spent at Monterey County Jail, Mr. Worthington maintained regular contact, ensuring that I was informed about every facet of my case. His approach was consistently forthright, refraining from making overblown promises but continually offering hope that he would strive to secure the most favorable outcome for my case. During my time at Monterey County Jail, I sought the opinions of fellow inmates regarding the lawyer I had engaged, and their unanimous consensus was that "You're in good hands; he is the real deal and the best at what he does. Expensive, but the best at what he does." In retrospect, it appears that their assessment was entirely accurate. After enduring an extended period of stress and anxiety, coupled with the anguish of having my family reside thousands of miles away, Mr. Worthington succeeded in securing the best possible outcome for my case. Notably, he not only championed my legal cause but also offered vital guidance and counsel on how to navigate life post-release, ensuring that I remained in compliance with the court's directives and thus reducing the likelihood of further incarceration. In essence, what began as a nightmarish experience, marked by a profound sense of misfortune, gradually transformed into an inspirational story of hope, trust, and resilience in the face of adversity, all thanks to Mr. Worthington's expertise. The realization that I had placed my faith in the right legal representation brought immense relief. I am unreservedly inclined to recommend the services of Worthington Law Center, which I believe ranks among the finest professional legal establishments available to individuals grappling with multiple charges and facing potentially dire circumstances. While Mr. Worthington is an undoubtedly busy professional, his unwavering commitment to keeping me informed and his genuine concern for my well-being and my mother's peace of mind were evident throughout our engagement. Expressing our gratitude in words does not suffice to convey the depth of appreciation we hold for Mr. Worthington and his dedicated team. The Worthington Law Center accomplished an exceptional feat, having not only safeguarded my legal rights but also, in essence, having saved my future. We remain eternally thankful for their unwavering support and their remarkable professional services. read more

On November 12th i was arrested in Chicago because i had a pending warrant which i didn't had an idea of it. My situation was a surprising and horrible at the same time because i am an international student coming to the U.S for getting an education. By the time i was arrested, i was booked on a jail in Chicago which is called "Cook County Jail". My mother was very concerned about the situation and she was really helpless about doing anything, and adding to the fact that she lives 10000 miles away from me. Turns out my warrant was in California for something i did do around 2019 and i didn't had an idea that i had a warrant out there. My mother was referred to Worthington Law Center by a friend of her and she immediately got in contact with Thomas Worthington. Tom showed her a lot of friendly support and he took responsibility over my case. By the time i was transferred in California to address my case, my mother was constantly in contact with Mr.Worthington. The first day i was booked to a California jail Mr.Worthington contacted me and gave me an idea about the outcomes, of course they were scary, because the charges were very scary and risky. Throughout the whole 2 weeks i spent on Monterey County Jail, Mr.Worthington was always contacting me and making sure he was telling me every single outcome of the case, I never heard him once making assumptions about handling the case or making sure that i was going to get the best outcome of it, but he was always honest and constantly giving me hope that he would do the best possible outcome for my case. During my time in Monterey County, i had to ask some inmates about the lawyer i hired, and they all told me "You're in good hands, he is the real deal and the best at what he does. Expensive, but the best at what he does". I guess they were right. After the whole process of stress and anxiety about the case, and also having my family living 10000 miles away from me, Mr.Worthington gets the best possible outcome from my case. Not only that, but he also supported me and consulted me about every single thing what i needed to do after i was released so the court doesn't have a reason to put me back in jail. In other words, from being in the worst possible experience, and thinking that i am such an unlucky person, I found hope in humanity and by trusting my case to Mr.Worthington. I have to say Worthington Law Center, if not the best, is one of the best professional services you might get when your life is in danger, and you are facing multiple charges. Even though he is a busy man, he always makes sure he contacts me about every single thing and checks on me and my mom. After we decided to go with Mr.Worthington, i really said to myself that i am not that unlucky person at all, we made the right choice. I would highly recommend seeking legal help from Worthington Law Center just because of the humanity they show to you, and the help i received in my experience was more than i could ask. Everyone was so surprised about the effort Mr.Worthington put in order to get me into the right path with every single thing the court was asking me to do. His calmness and experience made everything smooth and perfect one step at a time. My mother and i do not have the right words to thank him for his services and how he saved my life, but i am sure that he does realize how grateful we are with his & his staff services. We are always grateful, and Worthington Law Center did a wonderful job. read more

To receive a phone call informing a mother that her son miles away from home, had been arrested and was to be transferred to California, and held in detention, to respond to an outstanding arrest warrant is among the most shocking events that can happen. My son is an International student, he had studied in California for Computer Science but transferred to another university in Chicago two years ago. He was not aware there was an outstanding arrest warrant. So, he was in shock also. I was referred to the Worthington Law Centre and discussed through a friend the case on a conference call with Tom Worthington. He provided a detailed explanation of the arrest and court process in California. He undertook to review the case notes and discuss with the DDA. In a follow up conference call Tom provided me with his assessment of the case, what we might expect to happen and an indication of the timelines. My priority was to have my son released from detention and proceed to defense. I needed a calm, knowledgeable attorney that I could trust. The Worthington Law Centre was perfect for me, Tom explained how he intended to respond to the arrest warrant and how he would plead in court. He did not make promises that could not be achieved. Throughout the very lengthy process, from November to March maintained close contact with me, updated me at every stage and he delivered on his commitments. My son was released from custody, he was allowed return to university to resume his studies and returned to California for a final hearing in March. I am grateful to Tom and his staff from the Worthington Law Centre for his calm and knowledgeable guidance during a very difficult period in my family's lives. He has wisely advised my son in every step towards the final process. Finally , the process is finished, my son is back at university to complete his studies. I have no hesitation recommending the Worthington Law Centre to act as attorney for cases appearing before the court process in California. He is the best ! read more

Okay, so let me give you the full low down about this firm. You go in confident, based on what you hear from their ads. During the consultation, you meet Tom Worthington and Bertha, the secretary. They all seem sweet enough. The thing is, Tom is retired, he is not going to work on your case. It will be his son, Brian, who already hates you when he meets you. He feels privileged because his dad put him through law school. Brian still has a lot to learn about law, he has rarely gone to trial. If you ask him a legal question, he will tell you to Google it. During your court appearances, he will show up five minutes before, unprepared, and try to brief you on the same topic. He has already worked it out with the prosecutor, right as you hired him. You are taking a plea, you will be convicted. He is going to convince you that it is your only option, that you will owe life in prison otherwise. After he keeps bullying you, you will take the plea, to your regret. As you are convicted, you will realize that it didn't have to be so bad, a public defender could have gotten you a better deal, or the case would have been dismissed altogether if you didn't hire him. But no, you hired Brian, who does this to everyone, gets his money while you plea out, the prosecutor gets a conviction. Everyone wins but you, because you did not do your homework while looking for an attorney, you went based on the hype from ads. read more

The team at Worthington law is very unprofessional; I would never recommend them to anyone. I hired Tom Worthington, but they gave me Brian, the cheapest of the four attorneys. There is a reason why he was the cheapest, he was completely incompetent about basic criminal laws, he told me to Google things if I asked him questions. I was paying top dollar for him yet he wasn't willing to answer the most basic legal questions. Non-willingness was a constant theme with Brian, he was not willing to fight for me, insistently bullied me to take a plea. It was clear that the settlement for the case was already agreed upon with the prosecutor early on, yet they still dragged the process along, to get more money. At the end it was clear, Brian did not care about my case, only my money. I got the worst possible outcome, a public defender would have fared much better. read more

A couple years ago my life was suddenly turned upside down with accusations that I could not fight alone. I remember leaving the police dept. feeling empty, horrible.. as i drove home my eyes fixated on the Green House and i felt led to be there. I walked in and immediately I was treated with respect. Brian came down from his office, heard me out and he led the way from that point on. I allowed him to call the shots, to be the Offensive Coordinator going forward. I'm so glad I did. The WLC Team are super aggressive and relentless. I got the results that I wanted and I consider Brian a friend for life. If your looking for a true stud of a lawyer that will go to battle for you like you wont believe than make a call or just walk in. WLC is a true refuge for the accused . read more

As I reside in the Midwest, I needed to find an attorney in California, specifically in the Monterey, Salinas area for my daughter, so I looked on the internet and found Worthington Law Centre.

I made the mistake of my life hiring Brian Worthington. He was completely unprofessional, rude and ill prepared. At the end of the day, in court, he will side with the prosecutor and judge over you considering that he sees them often, and you, on the other hand, are only a stint in his life. He has the heart of a prosecutor and will do nothing to defend you. He will ultimately bully you to take a terrible plea deal, considering that he has actually never gone to trial (i.e., he is afraid to), all while, he will try to persuade you that you have no other choice. You do have a choice however, a choice to go elsewhere. read more

This place is a complete disgrace, Brian is a shameful attorney and Thomas, his father, is shameful for egging him on. As you have your consultation, you will meet Bertha, the secretary, and Thomas. Once you sign the contract, the worse will start. You will finally meet Brian, who has a heartless way to bully you before each court session. He will get you to plea, telling you that trial will be too costly. It will actually be a lot more costly to endure court and probation-parole fees. You are better off going with a public defender or any other attorney. read more

Hired these guys after I saw them in an ad at the movie theater. At first, I felt that I was in good hands, but after Brian refused to help me with basic questions, telling me to Google everything. I kept getting more and more stressed out, Brian kept pushing and pushing me to take a plea although I wanted to fight it out. After I fired him, all charges were dropped. Feel that I have to share about my experience, it's all very suspicious. It's on me for not doing my research while looking for a lawyer. I want others to benefit from experience. read more

Do your homework before hiring an attorney. I made the terrible mistake of hiring Brian Worthington. He only cared about my money and wanted my case to end so that he could have my money outright. He was not willing to fight for me, from day one, he already had the outcome planned out, insisting that I take a horrible plea deal, that there was no other option. It was not until I was sentenced and met other inmates that I realized that such an outcome was not necessary, that I could have fared much better with another attorney. Do not be misled. read more

I was completely disregarded by Brian Worthington. He was extremely unprofessional, rude and non-empathetic. From the beginning, it was evident that he did not have a lot of legal experience, asking me to google most basic questions. Since he has not gone to trial, he kept bullying me to take a plea. Hiring him was one of the worst decisions of my life. I know now that any other attorney, even a public defender, would have guaranteed a better outcome. read more

I had a horrible, beyond terrible experience with this law firm. Brian Worthington insistently bullied me to take a plea, during every session. He has no trial experience, so that is why it was so critical to him that I plea before then. It was clear that he simply wanted my case to end so that he could get my money free and clear. I do not wish this experience on anyone. Do your homework when you are attorney shopping, this law firm is a disgrace. read more

I want to be very honest about my experience hiring Brian Worthington. He was extremely ill prepared, and in the end, I feel that I got the worst possible outcome with my case because of him. For one, he never showed any signs of actually wanting to help me, he never lifted a finger even. It was clear, he just wanted me to plea from day one so that my case would end early and he could get my money. I do not wish this experience on anyone. read more

Shameful, disgraceful, incompetent, greedy, all of these words describe Brian Worthington. It is my fault for not doing my homework while hiring an attorney. Brian charged me an arm and a leg and bullied me to take a plea that I could have easily evaded with another law firm. If anything, hiring Brian means that your charges will never get dropped, the county uses him to rope you in. read more

In the middle of a routine office day, a gang of men in suits arrived with a (bogus) complaint. I was pretty upset, as even a bogus complaint can negatively impact a community business. Your team moved swiftly and concisely, and the complaint was closed without further progress. Thanks so much for the nimble and precise work. It made a big difference! read more
