Posted by Paul | July 14, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Insurance

Very knowledgeable

I thought about handling my case with the insurance company myself but I was encouraged by a friend to speak with Mr. Pender first. Mr. Pender was very knowledgeable, walked me through the process and got me a settlement for more than I thought I could. I'm so glad I hired Mr. Pender.

Posted by Chris | July 14, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Professional, reliable, and stepped in when I needed help

Josh represented me in Decatur City Traffic Court on very short notice after my original attorney had to back out due to an unexpected medical emergency. Despite the last-minute situation, Josh immediately stepped in, was incredibly responsive, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. H...e communicated clearly and consistently, made sure I understood everything happening in my case, and handled the matter with high degree of professionalism. His fee was reasonable, especially considering how quickly he had to take over. I truly felt like I was in good hands from start to finish. I’d recommend Josh to anyone looking for a dependable and sharp attorney.

Great experience with Mr. Pender!

I was charged with a DUI and open container about a year ago. I only had 3 drinks at lunch and the open container had been under my seat who knows how long. I was worried I was going to lose my job if convicted but Mr. Pender saved me. He was very knowledgeable and walked me through the entire proces...s (these were my first criminal charges). He fought hard for me and got the charges reduced to a $178 ticket and no points on my record. I would recommend him to anyone needing an experienced criminal defense lawyer!
