Find someone else

One phone call cost me $500. He gave me little to no advice before my grand jury hearing and did not follow up with me after it. Months later when the case was dismissed he had no idea. The Dallas DA spent more time counseling and updating me on the case then Mr. Pennington ever did. He was referred ...by Joe Luce who was too busy for my case, I guess Mr. Pennington was too. He wasn't too busy to cash my check though.

Do not recommend

Mr. Pennington encouraged me to mediate which is the worst decision I made in my divorce process. I got almost nothing and didn't even have the decency of having state standards. I got custody of my kids, but I'm a woman so it was pretty much a given anyway in Texas. 8 months went by and I was still ...not divorced. Ended up finding a different lawyer to represent me and I will now have to spend years and thousands of dollars undoing this mistake.

Was my Rock!!

Austin was always available to talk about what I wanted or needed. Even if that meant just calming me down and reassuring me. His gusto to get me what I wanted and deserved in the divorce was so reassuring. He was actually disappointed that my ex was a no-show to the trial for a restraining order. Au...stin also was blunt with me about what was going to happen and was a voice of reason when I began to fall victim to my ex's sweet pleads to be back together. He was a huge proponent of my children's well being also. I highly recommend Austin. Thanks to him I was divorced without the stress that I anticipated!
