We know that the legal process can be daunting, so here at The Pender Law Firm we are committed to sitting down with you, explaining the process, making sure you understand all your rights and options, and helping you navigate the complexities of the criminal justice system. But #1, The Pender Law Firm is committing to getting YOU the RESULTS you need.   

Contract Disputes/Business Litigation

Have you paid for services that you did not receive? Have you entered into a contract with another party who has not lived up to their obligations? From verbal contracts to voluminous corporate contracts, the lawyers at The Pender Law Firm are happy to review your contract, explain the parties' rights and obligations, and most importantly outline the legal and equitable remedies at your disposal in the case of another party's breach. The Pender Law Firm has extensive experience representing clients in small claims court- no case is too big or too small for The Pender Law Firm!

Personal Injury

I often wince when I hear stories of people who decide to handle claims with an insurance company on their own and eventually end up settling for a fraction of what they could have gotten. When you've been injured due to another party's negligence, you need a lawyer who's going to maximize your recovery. The Pender Law Firm has experience in all types of personal injury including automobile collisions, slip and falls, and wrongful deaths. While some attorneys are quick to accept a settlement, the lawyers at The Pender Law Firm are always ready to take your case to trial, and will not advise you to accept anything less than what you DESERVE.

Post-Judgment Collection

Winning a judgment is just the beginning. Getting paid is the real challenge. At The Pender Law Firm, we aggressively pursue collection of unpaid judgments through garnishments, liens, levies, and other enforcement strategies.  Whether you're owed money from a court order or need help navigating a deadbeat debtor, we're here to get results.

Family Law

Family law matters are deeply personal and we treat them that way.  Whether you're seeking custody, modifying child support, pursuing visitation rights, or navigating divorce, The Pender Law Firm provides strong legal guidance with compassionate support. Let us help you protect what matters most.

State or Federal Habeas

A conviction isn't alwys the end of the road. If your rights were violated during trial, sentencing, or appeal, a habeas corpus petition may be your path to justice.  At The Pender Law Firm, we fight for individuals facing long sentences due to ineffective assistance of counsel, constitutional errors, or new evidence.  Whether it is at the state or federal level, we understand the urgency and complexity of post-conviction relief--and we don't back down.
