I can't thank her enough! There is no feeling like a DISMISSAL!!!!!

I could not have prayed for better representation! I was facing a motion to revoke my probation after working so hard for years to remain compliant. After reviewing my case, Penny was able to arrange a dismissal with the district attorney within a short amount of time. However, upon the hearing, the ...judge was hesitant to sign it and rescheduled the court date to review the details. Penny continued to work very hard on my behalf, remained in constant communication with me during the process, and at the next court appearance, successfully convinced the judge to sign off on the dismissal. I am now able to continue the last portion of my probation in confidence (without any amendments, extra reporting, drug tests, etc). I literally owe her everything! My case was a violent felony crime and a conviction would have drastically affected my life. I've never seen an attorney negotiate an agreement with the district attorney and then have the judge reject it. I was scared, but Penny remained composed and never wavered until we achieved the result we wanted. She is the best! If you need an attorney, trust me, trust the reviews, hire her!!

I never give up on getting the right outcome for my clients. You deserved a dismissal and that is what we got today. Keep doing a great job and have a great holiday season.

Recommended 100%

What more can i say from my experience, Ms Penny wymyczac White was God sent. By far best lawyer I've ever hired. Always interactive in my case working endless hours even contacting me after hours to inform me or to get more information about my case. Extremely resourceful and abundant in experie...nce in the court when in trial.And always stayed positive. And best of all got the case dismiissed with no issues. I for sure will recommend Ms. Penny and her team to all my friends and family when in need of any legal help because Ms. Penny can handle any type of case.

Thank you. If happy we finally got the dismissal.

was less than 24 hours away from hearing deciding my permanent record

I had a previous attorney that led me down a pretty bad path as far as the decision I'd have to make on my hearing, basically requesting me to plea to a felony on something where I was never convicted and have a permanent record that would never go away (deferred adjudication). I found Penny online a...nd literally with less than 24 hours before this hearing knocked it out of the park, got me a PTI as this was my first ever charge in any jurisdiction in the United States... Mind you, my previous attorney had "tried" for almost 2 months and just wasn't doing what I requested as I knew this could be done with the right effort. Following getting PTI extremely quick right on that hearing which she had less than 24 hours to prepare, Penny was able to get me amazing terms with the officer on my PTI as I primarily live in Florida. So, she quickly expressed this to make sure I can complete this PTI in another state and a slew of other things to really make my life easier and less stressed about this situation. I was dealing with a Third-degree Felony with very minimal time and options and Penny Wymyczak-White really saved me from a tainted record very very quickly, efficiently, and reasonably priced. HIGHLY recommend her as a defense attorney

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.

Wonderful Experience

I cannot recommend Penny highly enough as a criminal defense attorney. From the moment I reached out to her, I knew I was in capable hands. Penny's approach to my case was not only professional but also highly personalized. She took the time to understand every detail of my situation, which immediate...ly put me at ease during what was undoubtedly one of the most stressful times of my life. Penny's knowledge of criminal law is exceptional. She meticulously prepared for my case, leaving no stone unturned. Her strategy was clear and well thought out, which was evident in every interaction we had with the court. Penny's ability to navigate complex legal challenges with ease and confidence was truly impressive. What sets Penny apart, however, is her genuine care for her clients. She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial they may have seemed, and she made sure I was fully informed about every aspect of my case. Her support and reassurance were invaluable, providing a sense of calm amidst the chaos. Thanks to Penny's hard work, dedication, and unparalleled expertise, my case was resolved with the best possible outcome. It's clear she fights tirelessly for her clients' rights and well-being. Her passion for justice and her commitment to her clients is evident in everything she does. For anyone facing criminal charges, Penny is the advocate you want in your corner. Her professionalism, compassion, and proficiency in the courtroom are unmatched. I am eternally grateful for her support and the exceptional outcome of my case. If you're looking for an attorney who will fight for you every step of the way, look no further than Penny.
