Ms. Pennington has successfully navigated me through many of life’s little trials and tribulations. I can unreservedly recommend her and her legal abilities to anyone and everyone. This lady has it all, guts, charm, ability, smarts, and a strong work ethic. I’m super glad to have Ms. Pennington on my side!
