"I gladly endorse attorney Penny Cauley. When it comes to Credit Rights and Credit Repair Law and Identity Theft, I don't think anyone anywhere knows as much as her. Her knowledge and skill are the reasons that other attorneys respect her. You can read some of her extremely well written answers to questions that have been published at Avvo.com and you will see what I mean. If you have a question about Identity Theft or Credit Rights and Repair, she is your answer. Period. I highly recommend her to you. You just can't do better than her."

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.
