Tyler Whitney Pennington

Our family needed a lawyer after we lost two loved ones in a car accident and there were children left behind without a will determining custody. Our emotions were raw and we were shell shocked from what just happened, but we had to deal with what became a messy legal battle for custody of a minor. ... Our custody battle lasted about two years. It was messy and grueling, and long and stressful — and, in the end the outcome was in our favor. Tyler fought hard to protect our child, whose life had been shaken by a tragic loss — he and his staff were phenomenal. When we started, we didn’t know anything about the legal process and he carefully laid out the process for us, in a very realistic and thorough way. His guidance and advice was on point, his pricing and billing was fair and honest and our family is forever grateful to him for fighting the fight and staying the course for us. Tyler Pennington, truly cares about his clients and fights hard for them — I highly recommend him.

I first met Tyler, and his staff, the summer of 2015. My ex filed for custody of our son, and he was over $19,000 behind in child support. My ex has always been very aggressive and intimidating. Tyler, and those in his office, took care of everything for me. I felt comfortable every step of the w...ay. If there was something that I didn't understand, things were explained and my nervousness was put to ease. I have spoken to other attorneys before, and never felt like they were really on my team, until now. Tyler was aggressive, yet fair. I appreciated that he was honest with me about the case. (If there was something I wanted, or didn't want, he never gave me false hope.). By the end of things, I ended up winning my case, and walked away with more than I expected. I am more than pleased with the work done by Tyler, Jessie, and Geoff. I will forever be greatful!!

I first hired Mr. Pennington after my first hearing that I lost. After hiring him, my second hearing was a blissful experience the way he handled the opposing attorney and made clear all of the facts. He continues to be doing a great job in my ongoing case. I feel safe in his hands. In my books, he i...s a young but top notch trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable professional with integrity and a good moral compass. I highly recommend him for your next case.

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.
