Tyler Whitney Pennington

I fully realize Tyler will respond saying he cannot respond to the details of the case, but it needs to be shared how negligent Jessica Houghtby was during our hearing and how Tyler Pennington would not own up to any of this negligence and mismanagement. Daniela Ibarra was our attorney initially, but... she had a medical emergency that deemed her unavailable for an unknown amount of time. Jessi stepped in with our understanding that she would be adequately brought up to speed on all the details of our family law case. Sadly, she came into the court room, late, rushed, and was writing down questions just before the judge entered the room. It was blatantly obvious how unprepared she was. There was no preparation whatsoever is terms of questions that would be asked, strategy, etc. I didn’t even know the format of the hearing until I was there. After speaking with a new attorney, I’ve learned how problematic and irresponsible this actually was/is. This lack of preparedness has deeply impacted our family, not to mention the thousands of dollars spent, heartache, and children that cannot comprehend this outcome. Tyler and Daniela told us throughout this entire process that we were good, our case was strong, we just need to get in front of the judge. It quickly turned to what we can do next (in other words, how can they keep billing us for more legal work). I write this in hopes that it’ll save others from this outcome, to at least ask all the right questions.

I am on this site literally looking for a lawyer to clean up the mess that Tyler made of my child custody and see his rating is high?? That definitely makes me question the quality of ratings here. 8 years ago he was my lawyer, and every day has been a nightmare. My daughter is now 12 and SHE is insi...sting this has got to change. The schedule is insane with a 2 day on, 2 day off schedule, and even during the process...Tyler told me how much he admired opposing counsel and wished he could work with her. He also sat and agreed, whole heartedly, with my ex and his lawyer TO THEM, against what I was asking for (which was simply when it’s your possession, you pick up your kid, and when it’s mine, I will). Seemed simple to me but opposing insisted I bring her to him. And my lawyer agreed I needed to deliver her! What?! 8 years later I STILL hear from my crazy ex ‘even your lawyers agree with me’. So no, Tyler is the pits, especially if it’s a law firm he admires apparently.
