About Steve Worrall

I am a Georgia lawyer with more than four decades of experience helping individuals and families navigate important legal decisions with clarity and confidence.After many years in practice, I chose to relocate to Perry to be closer to family and to continue my work in a community that has long been meaningful to my family. My late uncle, Jim Worrall, served Perry as Mayor for twenty years, and his example of integrity and public service continues to guide my approach to both law and life.Today, I work as Steve Worrall, Gentleman Lawyer (and Of Counsel to Smith Barid), focusing on estate planning, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives. Much of my work involves helping adult children support aging parents and assisting individuals through life transitions such as retirement, relocation, or loss.I believe good lawyering is steady, respectful, and grounded in listening carefully and explaining options plainly.
