Worley (Attorney), Jay Russell (Private Investigator), Christina Washington (Paralegal), Bill Barfield (Defense Attorney), and Shylene Correa (Marketing

Director for the show).

The synopsis of the show is where Don works with other attorneys to help with a variety of intriguing civil lawsuits. An attorney will refer Don a case and the attorneys will work on the case together, as well Worley’s team. They go to a mock trial with a focus group and try the case. Following the mock trail, they decide whether to settle or go to trial. “You never want to ask the jury for less or more money than it’s worth.” They discuss with the client and at the end of each episode shows the end result of the case.

Season 2 will be the same concept except expanded to other destinations. The next season will be shot at every McDonald Worley office location in the United States, including Los Angeles, Miami, Scottsdale, New York, Vegas, Houston, Washington DC and Seattle.

Each episode will focus on the law firm cases as well as the travel destination combined; featuring landmarks, oceans, restaurants, and unique places each destination has to offer. This is expected to expand the show’s creative reach and audience.

The McDonald Worley law firm has become a prestigious name in the law industry across the United States. They have 52 thousand cases nation wide, and it is one of the largest mass torts firms in the country. “I love being in the courtroom and am comfortable in front of a jury. He’s been practicing for 23 years. Worley loves his clients and especially loves “handing clients that check at the On set filming

end. It makes such a difference in people’s lives.” The firm normally handles cases that are referred in by other law firms, taking cases all over the U.S., consisting of pharmaceutical, medical malpractice, and personal injury cases to name a few.

Worley has lived in Houston since 1994, and loves Houston because of the people. “You can be Don Worley

anywhere in the US in 3 hours, there’s no state income tax, there’s affordable housing, fun bars and the best restaurants in the world. Houston has a lot to offer.” Two fun facts about Worley is that his favorite place to travel is Southern Italy and Ireland, and he was adopted at birth.

Worley’s best piece of advice is, “to stop trying to be someone else and just be yourself. There’s a lot of great trial lawyers out there but the key is to be yourself and be true to you. If you try to be someone else every client and every trial lawyer can see right through it.”

“We are expecting the show to run for about 2 or 3 seasons, but the law firm will go on forever because we are here to help people. People will always need help. We will continue to grow and work hard”. Power of Attorney: Don Worley is expected to have continued success in its upcoming season.
