She worked hard and fought for my rights as a dad

Hired Jessica in a complicated family law case. She worked hard and fought for my rights as a dad and her and her staff were available then and still are now. I recommend her to anyone and would hire her again if I needed to.

I would recommend Tyler to anyone in need of a down to earth defense attorney.

I’ve had a few lawyers for a few different cases, pricing was fair and I got the representation that I needed. I would recommend Tyler to anyone in need of a down to earth defense attorney.

He was thorough in both his understanding of my needs and goals with my case

Tyler is an outstanding lawyer. He was thorough in both his understanding of my needs and goals with my case and was able to help me understand anything I was not clear on in regards to the lengthy and confusing legal process. He was always there and made a significant difference in the outcome of my case. I have unfortunately been involved with several legal teams and Pennington Law is by far the most skilled and appreciated I’ve hired.

We got exactly what we wanted at the end of the day.

My husband and I hired Tyler for a modification hearing for Child support. After hearing our situation, he was confident that we had a strong enough case to go for full custody to get my stepson. He respected all our decisions, and was fully prepared at the hearing. We got exactly what we wanted at the end of the day. Thank you Tyler!

I felt comfortable every step of the way.

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 way. 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, Jessi, and Geoff. I will forever be grateful!!
