This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

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.

Sincere appreciation for Penny’s dedication, professionalism, and unwavering support throughout my DWI case.

Dear Penny, I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for your dedication, professionalism, and unwavering support throughout my DWI case. Your guidance and consistent presence meant a great deal to me during this long journey. I'm thrilled to share that my case, which began in December 2020,... was officially dismissed today—September 23, 2025. This outcome would not have been possible without your expertise and commitment. I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone seeking legal assistance. Thank you for everything! Warm regards, Sukhdev

My case was quickly dismissed.

Mrs. Penny was able to get my case dismissed after a motion to revoke my probation was put out. I would recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in trouble with the law.

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.
