"Ms. Pendleton is a tireless worker and advocate for her clients. I am a former judge who has presided over trials she has argued and I have had cases against her as opposing counsel.

I've had the pleasure of having her as opposing counsel on a number of cases and admire her ability to either take cases to trial or resolve them in a way that both clients can feel good about it.
