Warrior Lawyer

Alexander Penalta, Esq is the highest quality professional. He is prompt, thorough, legally astute with a doctorate in law, deferent to the client, pleasant, empathetic, and possesses a human nature that is overall inspiring. He is caring and authentic. When I was desperately in need of an attorney I... called his office at 11:00 am on Saturday. He saw me at 3:00 pm the same day even though his office was closed. While I pre-phone-paid for half an hour, he listened for two hours and then took complete charge of the problem like the Legal Warrior that he is. If you need an Advocate get Alexander Penalta, Esq.. You will never be sorry you did!

Fantastic service

I initially met Alexander Penalta several years ago while taking aviation law classes at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Penalta was the adjunct associate professor for those classes. I was quickly impressed by his knowledge and experience. In addition, it didn't take long to realize how passio...nate he was about the subject and that he really cared about what he taught. At that time I realized that I had found an attorney and a firm that I could count on and trust if I ever needed one. Recently, I needed some legal advice on a matter that wasn't even in a state that Penalta represented. Still, I didn't hesitate to contact him. I found him just as accessible and professional as I had remembered. Even though he couldn't give me actual legal advice, he answered some general questions for me and even offered to make some phone calls for me and put me in touch with an attorney in the state I needed help in. Later, he followed up with me to make sure I was being taken care of. It is so refreshing to know that you have access to an attorney that cares and someone you can trust. I can't say enough about Alexander Penalta. I will definitely use his services again and highly recommend him to others.

Mr Penalta is kind and totally dedicated to his clients

I have consulted Mr Penalta a few times in the past four years. Each time he explained to me clearly about my rights and helped me to find the best resolution to my cases. He is a very kind and caring person. To his job he is 100 % dedicated. I highly recommended him.

Great Attorney!

Mr. Penalta is very knowledgeable and a caring human being which is something you don't see much anymore. Very helpful to me and my family in a difficult time. I highly recommend him for any legal issues!

Excellence with Integrity

I have known Alexander Penalta for many years in a professional setting. When faced with a son of mine who was involved in a crime I called Alex and upon explaining my situation he offered to assist and I retained him as my family attorney. He was extremely professional and understanding of the situa...tion and the laws as they pertained to my son's case. He was there for me as well as my son from the beginning to the end of his case (which ended much better than I had imagined it would before I retained Mr. Penalta as our attorney). He not only represented my son with excellence in legal knowledge and skill but with high integrity. He was extremely fair in his legal fees and explained every detail of what needed to be done and why. I highly recommend Mr Penalta to all of my family and friends in need of assistance in his areas of expertise and I am confident that you will feel the same if you retain Mr. Penalta as your attorney as well!
