On Top Of It!

I hired Gigi for my Bankruptcy case. She made sure I was well informed of each step I had to go through. She made such a difficult time easier and she took every extra steps to make sure it was done correctly. She always called or e-mail me back within hours not days to keep me updated on my case.... Gigi was always happy and energetic and made you feel as though your case was the most important one in her office. Thank You Gigi for your expertise and sensitivity and a job well done.

Sticky situations avoided with sage advice!!

I am a landlady in St. Paul and I have come to rely heavily upon Ms. Penn's expertise in the area of landlord/tennant issues. She explains things in a way that I understand. I have managed to avoid some sticky situations because of her sage advice. It was great working with her!

Avvo Rating

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.
