About Jeffrey
Biography
When I began practicing law in 1995, I dedicated my practice to zealously helping my clients receive the full damage awards they are due. I am not afraid to stand up to the large insurance companies and their defense teams. I'm a confident negotiator, and I'm not afraid to take your case all the way to court when the insurance companies don't want to fairly compensate you for your injuries.
When you are injured in an auto accident, when a dog attacks you and you need a dog bite lawyer, or when you are hurt due to someone else's negligence, it is important that you hire a seasoned trial lawyer to defend your rights at the negotiating table and in court for your personal injury claim.

Car accident
I was hit from behind. The ins. Company was giving me a hard time. I called Jeffrey and he figured the problem out within an hour. The police officer gave me the wrong numbers for the police report. Awesome job!!!!

Excellent Philadelphia Trial Lawyer
My family hired Jeff 2 years ago for a dog bite that happened to our 3 year old. Mr. Penneys could not have been a better choice.

You Can't Go Wrong With Mr. Penneys
After being turned-down by 3 different attorneys, none of whom were interested in going to bat for me, I finally decided to give it one last shot and found Jeff.
