Excellent Lawyer

I have had to hire a few attorneys in my life. Penny is the best Lawyer I’ve come across. She seems to genuinely care about your situation and listens to you. My case was a bit complicated and fell into a grey area, but to simplify it, I was told by multiple other attorneys that I had consulted ...that I would not be able to get my mugshot removed from a website because that website claimed it was a “news reporting organization” and somehow posting my mugshot was protected free speech. Since being arrested, I had received an order of non-disclosure after successfully completing a deferred adjudication program. Penny expressed that she felt that what the website was doing was not right. She was able to get the mugshot removed where others had said it was not possible. Huge thanks to her and I highly recommend her to others. Hopefully I don’t need any more attorneys, but if I do I’ll ask Penny first.

Knowledgeable

I hired Mrs White 7 years ago for my divorce she did a great job by getting my divorce and set my right for visitation, after that my ex causes me trable with the law and Penny was there for me, she fought had to reduce my charges and make sure I get dismissed gor my charge, then she expunge for my ...record. Any time I need her she hear me and listens to my matter. She give good advise and look for my right. I am thankful to God that put here on my way

A huge help!

Penny was a huge help and worked effectively to help me with my case. I reached out to Penny to disclose my record from a past offense, but needed it to be done from out of state. She was able to do that for me without needing me to travel. Communicative and easy to reach.

Great Lawyer

Penny White helped me on 2 separate occasions. She was able to get my record sealed as promised, when other attorney's said it couldn't be done. She is thorough and focused.

Approval of Petition for NonDisclosure of Criminal History ( deal criminal record)

Attorney Penny White accepted the case to represent the defendant in getting approval of his criminal record sealed. A few other criminal defence attorneys were contacted who didn’t think it was possible. Penny was aggressive, did her due diligence and was prepared for the ‘hearing’ before the Judge ...in a timely manner...she had 2 weeks to prepare. The court date was also advanced by 2 weeks after she filed the motion. Additionally, Penny always responded when contacted concerning preparing for the hearing. She even met with the client about 45 minutes before the ‘hearing’ to answer any questions and to ascertain that his attire and mannerisms were appropriate for the ocassion. She was successful in pleading her case to the Judge, which consequently resulted in an ‘Order Prohibiting Disclosure of His Criminal History Record Information!’ He got his life back-thanks to Penny. I would definitely recommend Penny White to anyone who needed a criminal defense attorney! Thank you.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
