Highly Recommended Counsel

After being injured by a dog, I was unsure where to go for assistance in obtaining reimbursement for emergency room care, follow up doctor visits, physical therapy and antibiotic treatments. I did not know an attorney that had this expertise so I decided to find a local counsel based on an internet ...search. This method of hiring an attorney can be risky, I knew, but in this case it ended up a very smart move. I did my research online and selected several attorneys for an intial contact and consultation. I selected Jeffrey Penneys after speaking to several firms. He was the most responsive to my initial email inquiry, and the first to also follow up with a personal phone call. He took the time to listen to the entire story of the incident and the aftermath. I was very pleased with his emphatic approach and how he provided me with a solid education and background on what to expect. He answered all of my questions in an unrushed and thorough manner. He established trust, and as a busy executive, I appreciated knowing that all I had to do was turn over the facts to him and his expertise would take it from there, relieving me from the burden of the ongoing management required to obtain restitution. During the legal process, he was in touch regularly, explained options, next steps, and provided ongoing counsel. The end result was most favorable due to his diligent work and expertise. I would highly recommend Jeffrey Penneys as a talented lawyer who provides unparalled support and attention to your case, on your terms, with your best interests in mind.

When Confidence Matters

When it comes to personal injury, it's difficult to know who to turn to; whom you can trust. My case involved a dog attack and when I went looking for an attorney to answer some basic questions and assist in the decision-making process about whether or not to litigate, there was a long list. I found ...Mr. Jeffrey Penneys’ firm and did extensive research into the types of cases they were prepared to handle. Once satisfied that he was a good candidate, I reached out to him via email. Imagine my surprise when, within two days, he responded. Because my case is quite unusual, he was very upfront about the need to delve further into my options. There were no immediate promises and he was extremely forthcoming which left me feeling even more confident that I'd made the right choice. We are still in the process of litigating my case and he has kept me up-to-date every step of the way. He answers my questions - even the "stupid" ones - with patience, grace, thoughtfulness and support. I remain extremely confident in his professional skill and wholly appreciate his ability to take what is often confusing legal language and translate it into lay-terms to ensure I fully understand the proceeding and requirements. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity afforded here to support Mr. Penneys as a consummate professional and an attorney I would highly recommend.
