Frankly put, Steven Penrose is nothing less than a miracle worker!
My sibling and I retained him nearly 3 years ago to rid us of the many Gordian knots that we had to contend with due to our father's highly complicated trust and estate.
He's brilliant (always a step or two ahead of any possible concerns), a fierce advocate, unquestionably dedicated, thorough, patient and treats us with the utmost respect.
His knowledgeable colleagues, paralegals and staff further add to the firm's overall standard of excellence.
