MR.PENNEY IS A WONDERFUL LAWYER AND VERY HELPFUL!!

I would recommend Mr. Penneys to anybody. He comes to the house because I was in too much pain to go to his office. He totally understands the pain and anguish I am in he sent me to a doctor who has transportation to come get me for appointments. Everyone in his office is very nice when you call for ...him,if he is not In, he does return your call or email to you. Thankyou Mr.Pennys!!

Gets Results

I was injured by a dog, unprovoked, on a city sidewalk out front of the dog owners property. The owner of the dog was clearly liable, and even apologetic as I was carted of to the hospital in an ambulance. After a few months of my first lawyer sending the homeowner multiple letters and recei...ving no responses he came to the conclusion that the owner likely did not have homeowners insurance and advised I attempt to simply settle the case by asking the owners to cover basic medical bills and call it even. Skeptical of this resolution I found "The Dog Bite Lawyer", Jeff Penneys, whilst perusing the internet. I called the number and recounted my story. Mr. Pennies told me he would inquire more deeply into the status of the dog owners homeowners insurance. After a few weeks Mr. Penneys sent me an email - he found insurance. I promptly switched the handling of my case Mr. Penneys. I have been very happy with my experience with Mr Penneys and was particularly impressed by his ability to navigate around the unresponsive homeowners in order to help me pursue my right of full compensation.

Best dog bite lawyer out there!

Mr. Penneys represented my 6 year old daughter who was attacked by a Pit Bull, resulting in permanent scarring on her face. I had contacted other lawyers who wouldn't take the case because there was no homeowner's insurance. Mr. Penneys did a great job investigating the insurance and found it when th...e other lawyers didn't. He ended-up suing and in court, he ran circles around the other lawyer. We won over $500k! I will never use any lawyer other than Mr. Penneys again! Thank you, Jeff!

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.
