Mr. Stephen Penner and Mr. Jeremy Purves recently handled a construction defect matter arising from the lack of appropriate waterproofing on my house. The contractor had gone out of business, and had transferred the assets of it's corporation to a different corporation to avoid liability to creditors like me whose homes they had improperly constructed. That action made the case extremely difficult, and, as a practicing attorney myself, I thought that my chances of recovery were slim to none. Mr. Penner and Mr. Purves worked with impressive skill, diligence and persistence in the face of just about every legal obstacle that the insurance defense counsel could mount. At the end, we mediated a very favorable settlement. Without their help, there is no question that I would have received zero reimbursement for my extensive repairs to the negligent construction. They are both top notch professionals.

Steve Penner recently helped us with a complex legal situation in our estate planning and he handled it quickly, expertly & for a reasonable fee. He makes himself available when you need him and is great with following up with you. He’s trust worthy and was a strong problem solver for us. He did a great job for my family and we would definitely use him again. We highly recommend him.

They really go above and beyond for their clients. I highly recommend their services.

Steve Penner is truly an outstanding attorney. I had a difficult case involving my daughter. She was uncooperative, which made everything extremely difficult. Steve was patient, kind, compassionate and understanding. He was able to work with the attorneys that were representing the other side and the judge. Through creative planning, Steve came up with solutions that worked and were effective. Two misdemeanor cases were dismissed. Without Steve’s professionalism and acumen I do not think we would have achieved the same result with another attorney.

Attorney Stephen Penner recently represented me in a divorce case which is now resolved. A friend referred him to me because of his 40+ years of law experience. His performance in my case was outstanding and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a competent, capable and great attorney! Now that my case is over, in hindsight I would say a couple of greatest client benefits of working with Mr. Penner are his many years of practicing law in Santa Barbara (in different capacities) have resulted in him: 1. Creating great and meaningful relationships with many of Santa Barbara's law professionals (across the board in many different places). 2. Having a deep understanding of Santa Barbara's legal system and its unique politics. This inside knowledge is a VERY strategic advantage for any client to have. (It's like having a treasure map in hand!) In my case, he worked well with the opposing counsel and saved me additional legal fees by getting us to mediation quickly and avoiding a lengthy and costly trial. Divorce is such a difficult time in anyone's life, as it was for me. It gave me peace of mind knowing that Mr. Penner was there by my side fighting for my best interest and in fairness during such an emotional time. He kept it to the facts, followed the law, and got to the prize! In my personal experience, he has the expertise, confidence, competence and connections to successfully represent any client. It is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Penner to others seeking similar counsel.
