It took a long time but we finally got the results we needed. I wish you the best in life

Posted by Christina | December 05, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Never gave up on my case.

I’m grateful that I was able to find a lawyer that took the time to fight my case. I hired her after not getting any results for 5 months with my first lawyer. I was very discouraged and was facing charges for a felony and misdemeanor. Penny gave me hope and fought both of my cases to get a dismissa...l. She kept her word and was able to bring justice to my situation. I have my life back and I’m very thankful that Penny was my lawyer.

She was amazing

Penny got my case dismissed and did my divorce probono. She was not all about the money. She was a fast responder and did worked quickly.

I do one pro bono case a year and your case was the perfect fit . I was very happy your case was dismissed. You should of never been charged. I am glad your divorce is finalized and you can start 2021 with a fresh start.

Honest, Reliable, Knows the law

I've worked with other lawyers before for some criminal and family issues. Penny is the fourth lawyer I've ever hired, and my favorite one. I probably would have beat my criminal case in a trial, given the charges and the evidence did not make any sense. my original "friend-referred" lawyer was p...ushing me in the trial direction with a 10k plus price tag, on top of his initial retainer fee which a lot higher than Penny's. Penny informed me about a class I could take, and in the end, taking the class paid off and she was able to leverage my completion of this class to get my case dismissed, even before I ever made a plea. This option was never presented by my original lawyer, who was more focused on how strong my case was. Penny was always on time, got her paperwork in place when she said she would, was always quickly available if I had questions, and handled things smoothly and efficiently. Highly recommend her. I particularly liked her answer about what type of law do you prefer practicing: Criminal or family. She said criminal law, because it's more rewarding and that in a family law case, there are no winners. No winners in a family law case really struct me as wise, having been through a divorce before. Trust me, in a family law case where strong emotions are involved, getting the wrong attorney will make things a lot more expensive and you will make stupid decisions based on bad advice and the emotions that control you. Go with someone trust worthy.

I am. Very happy we got your case dismissed. I always go for a dismissal first before a jury trial. You are correct regarding weak evidence and a great chance with a jury. With covid justice will come slow for the innocent waiting for a jury trial. I wish you the best.
