I reached out to John regarding a DV incident with my ex wife. The police had come to my house looking for me. John was very helpful and extremely proffessional when I contacted him, providing me with the guidance that I needed for my defense. He got to work immediately providing me with an update an...

Best lawyer anyone can wish for!
He is knowledgable, honest, sincere, and understanding. He did not judge me for my poor decision making and always reassured me that "everything will work out" when I had lost hope that things will be ok.

Mr Pennell handled our case with compassion and patience. I believe he does care about his clients. He always was available to answer a lot of my questions. I would absolutely recommend anybody with the need for a criminal defense attorney to call Mr Pennell.
"John is a brilliant attorney! I enjoy watching him work his way through the system to find the best way out for his clients!"
"John is a great guy and a great lawyer. I suspect it was his military training which makes him such a fierce adversary in the courtroom. Without being overly aggressive, John is not afraid of the the DA and has no fear of going to trial when warranted. I have known John for over 2 decades and I endorse this lawyer."
