Divorce, Separation and Child Support

Penny and her m colleague, Kristen Sherwood are very knowledgeable, intelligent and a caring team that went above and beyond to help me in my extremely difficult circumstances. They took their time to be sure I understood my options and the process as a whole. The advice was the best and I am still ...benefiting from some of their wise words. If you're looking for an attorney that will have your best interest in mind and the ability to fight on your behalf, Sodoma Law is the route you want to go.

A Safe House

I had zero experience w/legal issues prior to this one (not even a traffic violation), so I didn't know what to expect (heck, I didn't even know where the courthouse was). So I needed an attorney to guide me through the process. Unfortunately I spent a small fortune on a previous lawyer (using the te...rm very loosely). It was a year that I spent most of my time & money fighting with him. I knew that I was going to lose my case if I continued with that firm. By the time I found Penelope I was irritated, exhausted and pretty jaded with attorneys. During our consult she listened, she took notes, I felt heard. She shared her experience with other cases, and gave me options but she never treated my case as "just another case". She never pawned me off onto her paralegal or another attorney in the firm , she was present for meetings and responded timely and promptly to situations that required immediate feedback. She ( and her team) were not only kind, honest, and respectful; they were sensitive and compassionate. She honors your time & your money. Finding a good attorney was hard. Penelope & her team at Sodoma law were gems. She is well prepared and this is her natural born gift..this is what she does. So look no further this is your safe house. Rest and let Penelope and her team take it from here.

Empathetic, Honest, and Hard-working

Penelope, as my family attorney, did an excellent job throughout a long process in regards to divorce, child custody, and child support. She was always willing to listen, and more importantly, she was always honest with me about what was reasonable and not reasonable for what I wanted. Nobody ever ...comes to a family attorney as a happy person (and I was no diffferent) - but it helps to have an attorney who you can trust to handle the legal aspects of your situation, while you rebuild your life for the better.

Great Attorney

Penelope was great to me through my divorce process. She was great at explaining how each part of the process worked (in a way that a non-lawyer could understand) and what I needed to do to be prepared. Occasionally I would get stressed about particular parts of the process and she would calmly wal...k me through it and assure me that it would work out fine, as it did. I think this is critical as these situations are extremely unpleasant and she treated me like a person and not a source of revenue. Another thing she did that I really appreciated was to tell me how I could save some money by doing some things on my own that would have been expensive had she done them for me. Ultimately, Penelope was able to guide me through the process and help me come to a settlement with my ex that was A) much less than was requested and B) a fair settlement according to the facts.

Positive

Penelope Hefner was not only a fantastic attorney but she was also a very supportive and honest individual. She explained everything that was going to happen every step of the way. Every time I called or emailed she would get back with me right away. My case was very emotionally draining and she was... my voice of reason of helping me relax and know that everything was going to be ok. In the end of it all I won full custody / and reimbursement of most of my attorney's fees. Penelope supported me like she was my family. Thank you Penelope for everything.
