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. Not only did he know the law backwards and forwards, but he handled our case with the utmost respect and professionalism. He treated us like we were friends (and I do now ...consider him one), and was ALWAYS available for any questions or concerns we had throughout the case. We were impressed with his legal skills, especially at the depositions of the dog owners. He was friendly yet aggressive, and had obviously impressed the defense, as they settled right before trial. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Penneys for ANY of your legal needs.

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. Although he understood and explained to me that mine was a very difficult to impossible claim to get resolved, he agreed to give it a shot.... for 3 years, he worked tirelessly on my case. He filed a lawsuit, took depositions of everyone he could, survived a motion for summary judgment (the other side was trying to get my case dismissed), and ultimately resolved the case for an amount of money we both couldn't believe. If you want an attorney who is going to put 150% into your case, you want Mr. Penneys.

Jeff Penneys is an outstanding attorney who works hard for his clients. He is the only lawyer that I know that I would call upon no matter what legal situation I am faced with. He is a expert in his field.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
