  • Michelle and her team are amazing.

    “Michelle and her team are amazing. My name is Jose Quintana. My little boy's mom has never really been present in his life. But one day she arrived with a police officer and took our son from me. Due to an old court order, Mom was basically entitled to a 50/50 timeshare. She never used her time though, she only decided to after she was ordered to pay child support. There was nothing I could do, it didn't matter to the officer that my son had barely even seen his mom in months. My little boy was forced to go to a stranger's home, this caused us great pain. My family adore my son. This has been a difficult year for us. Fortunately, Michelle took my case. Her team is compassionate. They listened to my grievances and offered me great advice. Michelle never sugarcoated my odds. She is realistic and explained that as a man, I was going to be fighting an uphill battle. The courts always lean towards the mother. It doesn't matter that I've raised my boy alone since he was 2 years old. The court mediator sided with my ex wife. I don't understand how someone who claims to work in the best interests of children can be so irresponsible but despite this setback, Michelle did everything to plead my case to the judge. While speaking to the judge, she was extremely persistent and thorough. We had to do our court appearance via telephone due to covid. Despite terrible interference over the phone, Michelle remained composed and even managed to make the judge laugh! She is the greatest lawyer. Thanks to her hard work and professionalism, we received a favorable outcome at court. It felt like a miracle when the judge threw out the mediator's recommendation and gave us a much, much more reasonable order! My little boy is relieved and we're happy that he was spared anymore unnecessary pain. I cannot thank Michelle enough, nor can I recommend her enough. When the situation seemed hopeless, she found a way.”

  • Excellent communication.

    “Laurie Coker and the team did an incredible job for me. Every email that required legal advice was responded to in a timely manner (24-48 hours). The paralegal assigned to my case was outstanding. Each declaration was exceptionally well written and effectively articulated my point of view on each issue. I was communicated with regularly as to the status of my case, and thoughtfully guided through how my "wants" matched up with what was legally possible. As my emotions ran high at times, the staff was steady and helped me through each step of the way. They showed me the big picture, and then worked on the details of my case. I'm so thankful for their time and attention. Having their counsel alleviated so much stress during a very difficult process.”

    “All I can say is that Michelle and her team are absolutely awesome and are completely professional. If you want a firm to represent you who is honest, professional, caring and will win. Then you need to hire Michelle and her team. I had a restraining order filed against me. In less than a week. Michelle's team filed and served the response. On court day, she just rocked from start to finish. I will tell you this, her team works hard for you and if you listen to her.... she will WIN or least get you the best outcome that could ever be possible. From a cost standpoint, she is not real expensive and uses her time to your advantage. It was worth every penny I spent. I am greatly indebted and appreciate the service that she and her team provided to me and would strongly recommend her and her team to anyone who needs a fantastic Family Law firm.”

  • An amazing attorney one of the best in the business. Michelle was my divorce attorney 24 years ago.

    “An amazing attorney one of the best in the business. Michelle was my divorce attorney 24 years ago. I didn't have much money and she was able to help me out by swapping services for electrical work. I believe I had a pretty tough case , being that I needed to get full custody of my daughter. As you know sometimes that's hard when you're a single dad. But she was there for me both professionally and emotionally. She has also helped out a number of my friends with their divorces and all of them are truly satisfied. I recommend her to anybody I meet who is having family law issues.”

  • She is a strong woman and has a powerful presence and is not afraid of anything that is thrown her way. We definitely recommend the Penna firm.

    “Attorney Michelle Penna was essential in the divorce of my fiancé. Her and her staff are very knowledgeable and fought for him in a forceful but professional manner. The opposing party was very volatile and difficult to deal with. We owe a lot to Michelle and her staff for working so hard to finalize the very ugly divorce. She also worked with us financially which relieved a lot of stress. She is a strong woman and has a powerful presence and is not afraid of anything that is thrown her way. We definitely recommend the Penna firm, and want to say thank you for giving us our lives back”
