    Awesome Lawyer!! ALERT Mr. Craig Penrod and his team are caring and honest and very very trustworthy. I am so lucky to have had Mr. Craig Penrod as my attorney by my side. He knew what he was talking about and he was very honest about it all. I don’t think any other lawyer would have been as honest and trustworthy as him! Most lawyers are out for just your money. Mr. Penrod was in no way that kind of lawyer he never made me feel like i was in a losing position ! “Be yourself and tell the truth that’s all you need to do” — Mr. Craig Penrod Ive never had to do something like this and i hope i never have to go through another situation like this again. IF I EVER DO I WILL GO RIGHT BACK TO MR. CRAIG PENROD! Short and to the point he kept it along with integrity and care ! Thank you Mr. Craig Penrod and team for being by my side! Also special thanks to Kristi she was always so kind and nice whenever i talked to her.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
