Loved working at this law firm and I hope to return. It's a very supportive environment and the employees genuinely care about our clients. Danielle and John are incredibly talented attorneys I was happy to work with!

The worst law firm. Stay away. Where do I begin with my story…. Things started out great. I had a paralegal that was great with communication. I wish I could remember her name. All I remember is she had a parrot I would hear in the background as we talked. Well she either left or was released. I didn’t hear from her in 7 months. I called and left messages for her and the office to no one ever calling me back. I went to the website and sent emails. Only to be told they found my email in their junk mail folder and they said someone would reach out. I spoke to someone in their office and was asked if I had ever spoken to a lawyer there and no I never did. A older gentleman called and finally after almost a year I spoke to a lawyer there. I got notice of a hearing I had to attend and spoke to a new person John Butler. I wish I never had him as a lawyer, the worst. He was late to my hearing because he went to a different court house. When he finally got to the court house he was totally unprepared. Asking simple basic questions that if he took time to know my case, he wouldn’t have had to ask. He continued to ask questions while sitting in the court room and the judge had to stop another case and asked him to be quiet. Because John did not know that I was still seeking treatment from my injuries this cause for my hearing to be pushed back. Again be prepared and know your clients. After another 2 years of back and forth with this and that. I was trying to reach John to get and update on my case. I had been trying for over a month to get some kind of information. I reach out again asking that I needed to know by the end of the week. John responded back that he didn’t take to kindly to me threatening him. I wasn’t threatening him, I was asking for him to reply back with an update for over a month. I called into the firm and got the owner of the firm and after a few choice words she said she would handle my case moving forward. I wish that was the case. Well the office staff messed up, and I found out Mrs Davida would call me on the update, but John Butler was still doing the legal work. I am not sure if the legal advise I got was in My best interest moving forward. I called around to different firms to try and leave them, but was told were we to far in for other firms to take on my case. It’s funny, one law firm I talked to told me more about what was happening with my case in 10 mins than what John Butler could do in 3 years Needless to say, after almost 4 years my cases are close. I thought I would never have to deal with them again….. I am wrong. I got notice from Baltimore County courts of a missed payment that John Butler requested on my behalf. The courts said since the firm won’t pay the bill, they are coming after me. I contacted Mrs Davida about this and she reassured me it would get paid. Well it still not paid. Now I am going to have to take off of work and go to the courthouse and pay this or they will issue a warehouse for my arrest. So if you want a law firm that will not communicate with you, forget about you, pass you between different lawyers, show up late, have no idea about your case, disrupt the court in session, tell you that you are threatening them, and not pay the bills so you may get an arrest warrant issued on you. This is your place!!! If you want a place that actually represents you, go anywhere other than this firm. The worst representation a person could ever ask for.

Would definitely not recommend this law company to anyone. They are very rude to black clients and do not fight to get proper compensation for the injured party. I am suing them for negligence.

Everyone in the office is very nice I want to thank them for getting me the most money possible. I would recommend John or Jackie to family and friends What a great experience

Jordana was referred to me by a realtor friend. I went into our first meeting “kicking and screaming” as I did not want to establish a Revocable Trust. But, because my daughter wanted me to, and the fact that Jordana explained all the pros and cons, I decided to move forward. She proved to be very knowledgeable not only with Trusts but also Medical Directives, Wills, POA’s and finances. She was extremely patient throughout the process, explaining things clearly (and sometimes repeatedly). While being very professional, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She not only established the Revocable Trust but updated my Will, POA, Advanced Medical Directive and also went to the county to research property plats to correctly re-deed my house and 4 lots into the Trust. Not only was I impressed with how much she knew but with how much she listened and remembered details I shared with her. I truly felt she cared about my making the right decisions for myself and my daughters. The adjectives I’d use for Jordana are intelligent, easy-going, efficient, patient, and (good) listener! Without hesitation, I would highly recommend her and The Penater Law Firm, LLC. I’m so happy I found her, and I think you will be as well.

Very hard to get in contact with the attorneys. What's the point of using a service if they don't respond

I was referred to Jordana five years ago by an attorney that I used to work for. I needed updates and legal advice on my Will, Revocable Trust and a Special Needs Trust. I have always felt comfortable with Jordana. I know that she really cares and she has always taken the time to listen, and explain the law to me in a way that I can make informed decisions. Jordana treats you as a friend as opposed to just a client. She is patient and she really cares about what you have to say. I cannot say enough good things about Jordana. If you are looking for an estate planning or trust attorney look no further.

Jack Willis is one of our go-to tester attorneys. He is capable, reliable, effective and provides great legal work product at a good value.

Very hard to get in contact with once you have an open case, I’ve been reaching out to them since December of 2022 with still no response. If any one knows any lawyers that take federal cases please send them to me!

Jack Willis is a great person and a great lawyer. Blessed to be able to have his support and guidance through difficult times. Two thumbs up!
