Southworth PC: A Values-Based Law Firm

At Southworth PC, we pride ourselves on being more than just attorneys; we are a values-based firm on a mission. Our mission is to help 500 federal employees resolve their disputes with the federal government over the next five years. How do we get there? By following our values. This means our core principles guide every decision we make and every action we take. By prioritizing values such as being client-focused, results-driven, truth-based, compassion-minded, and dedicated to continual improvement, we ensure that our clients receive not only top-tier legal representation but also a partnership that respects their needs and goals.

Here are our values:

• Client-Focused: We put your needs at the forefront, tailoring our strategies to your specific situation. For instance, when a federal employee faced wrongful termination but did not want reinstatement, we customized our approach, which sometimes is to try to secure a reinstatement, to instead maximize the settlement value and get a clean record settlement, recognizing the unique aspects of what that client wanted.
• Results-Driven: Your success is our objective. In a notable case, our aggressive litigation strategy helped a client win a significant discrimination lawsuit, highlighting our commitment to achieving the best outcomes for our clients. We focus on results, not just to bill or fight without purpose. We track our efforts across the board to help drive results.
• Truth-Based: We believe honesty is the best policy. This means providing you with straightforward assessments and realistic expectations. When advising a client about the risks of litigation, we ensure they are reasonably informed to make the best decision possible. We also expect our clients to be truthful, which is necessary to best help them.
• Compassion-Minded: We understand the emotional toll legal issues can take. Our team’s supportive approach was crucial in helping an employee navigate the complexities of a harassment claim, offering not just legal support but emotional reassurance throughout the process. Our associates and team members are trained in mindfulness to help provide extra support to our clients.
• Better Than Yesterday: We are committed to continuous learning and improvement. By staying updated with the latest legal precedents and participating in ongoing training, and having a mindset to try to always improve, we ensure that our legal services are at the cutting edge, as demonstrated by our efforts to use the latest technology to help us advance the rights of federal employees.

Choosing Southworth PC means partnering with a firm that not only fights for your rights but does so proudly and with values. Our values make us unique and are one reason we stand out.
