James Hurley Worthington

I was born and raised in Lexington, Lafayette County, MO. I have worked at Aull, Sherman, Worthington, Giorza & Hamilton, LLC in some capacity since I was in high school as my father was also an attorney and partner in this firm. When I was young, I was intrigued by my father's profession as an attorney and his ability to help people obtain justice in the legal system. Thus sparked my desire to be an attorney. I completed my education at UMKC Law School in 2002 and chose to return to my hometown of Lexington to practice law. While I am active in the legal community, I am also active in the Lexington community in several different areas. I serve on two scholarship committee that provide fund to students to allow them to continue with their education. I am a member of numerous legal associations and I participate in the local Youth Court which allows high school students to learn about the legal system. I truly enjoy the intricacies and challenges that the law and each case provides. The legal profession has given me the opportunity to help people with a variety of problems and issues they may face and I strive to protect my client's rights in each and every case.
