I called Janelle Brienzi the second I had a legal matter arise and she helped me every step of the way! Her doing everything that she could made my stress about the matter almost non-existent. She answered any questions that I had quickly and never tried to rush me off. She is amazing at what she does! Thank you Janelle!

Chelly Pennington and her team treated me well. Professional staff, very cozy office. Chelly provided me with advice that was easy to digest and not wrapped in legalese. She was friendly, laid back, down-to-earth and transparent. Looking forward to seeing her again in the future.

★★★★★ 5/5

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Ms. Chelly Pennington and her team for everything they are doing for me. This is definitely the A-Team of lawyers and paralegals. They are professional, very knowledgable, dedicated, honest, ethical and affordable. I had another attorney represent me in my divorce and custody case prior to Chelly and it was a horrible experience. I finally feel adequately represented and I couldn’t be happier with their services. I highly recommend Pennington Brienzi Law Firm. They are the best of the best! With my deepest gratitude. Thank you Chelly, Monica, Janelle and Simone!

★★★★★ 5/5

I went looking for a great divorce lawyer and was referred to Chelly by many people within the community. I made a phone call and within days my case was on its way at a more than reasonable price. She’s always quick to answer my questions no matter if she is in the office or not. Chelly is the most personable lawyer I have ever met. She is the ONLY lawyer in the area I will refer anyone to!
