Tyler was exactly who we needed to help us!

I truly am impressed at not only how professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, and thorough the Tyler Pennington law firm was but also by how they made us feel that our case was a top priority. We were very well served and we always felt like we were part of a team with powerful resources representin...g us. Tyler and his staff were able to secure for us a very good settlement. We will always be grateful to him and his team!

Divore Case/Child Custody

My life was shattered January 2015. I hired a lawyer and boy did that go terrible....he wanted me to fold, my family wanted me to fold; I was distraught. I fired THAT lawyer!!! Later to find out that lawyer was disbarred. Thank goodness for my gut feeling. Nobody believed me, not even my own fami...ly...Until I hired Mr. Pennigton and his team. He and his team took it from there. Let me tell EVERYONE who is in a divorce, your lawyer is only as good as their client. With the info I provided to the Pennington team they were able to pull a feat nobody could have believed. We did it...I did it...HE DID IT. His knowledge of the law is unquestionable. Shout out to Jesse and Geoff who were also there for me every step of the way. To just make it clear....What Mr. Pennington did for me as a lawyer changed me and my families life for the best. It changed into something I would have never even imagined. This nightmare is finally over...Life is much better now. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PENNINGTON LAW FIRM!!!! God Bless to him, his family and his team.

Best Divorce Lawyer Ever!!!

Don’t even think about getting divorced until you talk to these guys! Tyler and his team helped me protect and preserve my financial estate and retain all of my assets, get custody of my children and absolutely crushed my wife’s attorney and her nasty tactics in the court room. From first c...onsult to the final hearing and multiple engagements in between, Tyler consistently delivered well beyond my expectations at every turn and was with me every step of the way. Deliberate, engaged, and uber-professional - he immediately turned the tables on my divorce and sent my wife and her legal team running for the hills. Tyler got me everything I asked for and more from my divorce. As a fellow father himself - Tyler knew how important it was for me to have custody of my children and he fought (and won) for me in the court room like he was fighting for his own family. If your wife has “lawyered-up” and tying to take you to the cleaners financially, alienating your children from you, and trying to cut you off at the knees - CALL TYLER and then rest easy. His team went straight to work for me from day one and within a few months had my wife and her lawyers in complete surrender. Again - don’t even think about getting divorced until you talk to the amazing team of professionals at Pennington Law. It was the best call I ever made. 5 solid stars from me. Eddie P

Excellent job - Child Custody Case

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.

Great lawyer

Tyler has been my lawyer for several years in a complex case. He is always well prepared and does his homework on my case. He is impressive and well respected in the court room. His staff is friendly and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone who. Glad to have him on my side.
