Toronto Criminal Defence Lawyer

I would like to thank Craig for his support and tell you about how I was treated by Craig and his staff. I was charged with several sexual charges. When I phoned Craig, he said come in right away. He treated me like a human as I had just been bailed out of jail and was severely beat up and treated like an animal there, so it was nice feeling I got that he looked at me as a human. I was separated from my wife and daughter for several weeks just before Christmas and the condition of my bail is that we could not and would not be together for Christmas, so Craig went to work right away and on Christmas Eve, changed the conditions and we could be together for Christmas. As it turned out, my charges were all made up by my accuser and were all dropped, but Craig stood with me and my family all the way through this process. Thank you, Craig, for everything and your belief in me and your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, for where would we be without forgiveness and leave judgment to God, our Father. All our love,

Craig Penney is an exceptional lawyer who helped me avoid a criminal conviction. His empathy and genuine character made dealing with my situation much less stressful. He not only guided me through the legal process, but ensured that I rehabilitated myself and became a better person in the end. I unequivocally recommend him if you seek a serious lawyer who truly cares about his client. Many thanks again, Craig. p.s. thanks again for saving my life.

I struck gold when Mr. Craig Penney agreed to take my case. When I was informed that a computer repairman had allowed the police to seize my computer for possession of child pornography, I thought my world had caved in! I was surprised that he immediately agreed to meet to discuss the case. All my fears were almost eliminated when he calmly and succinctly told me what to expect. His knowledge astounded me and I knew that he would be the person to win my case. He told me he would be available at any time, if I needed him. His confidence and calm demeanor served to help me to face the future days or weeks calmly during this difficult time. Luckily it was all over in one week when no charges were laid. A MILLION thanks, Mr. Penney,

Mr. Penney’s professionalism was what attracted me in the first place. The moment I spoke to him, I knew right then and there that he was the right lawyer for my case. He was a true professional from beginning to end. He proposed a result and did exactly what he said he would do on the trial day. I was very, very happy with the result. Mr. Penney totally amazed me with the way he handled himself in Court. His confidence never once made me feel uncomfortable or intimated. Mr. Penney was behind me all the way. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

I would like to offer my praise to Craig Penney in the way he managed my defence surrounding my criminal charge (DUI — over 80). Mr. Penney was not a therapist or necessarily a friend throughout my defence. He was my lawyer. I think that is an important distinction to make. Following my arrest, I was overcome with anxiety. Not knowing whom to contact or what to do. I was referred to Mr. Penney by a friend. He was very responsive and transparent in setting expectations, both mine and his. His professionalism and integrity was critical in managing my stress throughout my legal proceedings. Ultimately, his strategy worked and my charge was dismissed with a guilty plea to an offence under the HTA (Highway Traffic Act) only without a criminal record and driving prohibition. It has not only allowed me to pursue my dreams again; it also taught me an invaluable lesson. I have no hesitations in recommending Craig Penney as an extremely competent defence lawyer and advocate for anyone confronted with a criminal offence.

I couldn't imagine the consequences of being charged with a criminal offence. The implications were far reaching. Not only was I starting a new business, but all my wife's family lived in the U.S. and being convicted of a criminal offence meant no more crossing the border. These were serious implications. However, I saw some hope the first time I met Craig Penney. I knew after the first meeting this was the man I was going to hire to represent me in Court. He created an immediate impression of confidence, and he instilled in me a reassurance that he understood the problem at hand and could handle it competently. He advised me on how he was going to tackle the case, and he was reassuring about the possible outcome. He only had a short time to prepare, as I was putting off the inevitable as long as I could, and had only hired him shortly before trial. Well, his prediction of the outcome was accurate. The charges were withdrawn, and I could see that he was just as happy as I was about the outcome. I can't fathom the position I would be in today if it wasn't for Craig Penney. My life is finally getting back to normal. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He has created a friend and an ally for life.

Craig Penney, A unique lawyer — brilliant, fair, caring, non-judgmental, with an outstanding knowledge of Criminal law and the fine points of working with the procedures of the Judicial system. Craig's deep commitment to his client, his profound insight of humanity, ensures an understanding of all aspects of a "situation" or "incident" enabling him to set in motion a plan to get the best outcome possible. His sincerity and humanity when working with the Crown and the Judge increase the probability of a favorable outcome. I am a senior, never before charged with anything, and now faced the possibility of jail time. I froze, was unable to take action, I went into denial and depression. Fortunately, my daughter researched for the ideal lawyer and found Craig Penney. Craig, the dedicated professional that he is, with uncanny insight got me organized along with my wife and daughter, laying out a strategy that proved to be 100% accurate. He negotiated with the Crown successfully getting the charge withdrawn. Of equal importance was Craig's impact on me personally and changing my life for the better. Thank you Craig Penney. I am very much indebted to you.

After having been charged with a criminal offence for the first time in my life, I found myself experiencing a great deal of anxiety over how this would affect my family, including my 3 young daughters. Craig helped alleviate a great deal of that anxiety the first time I met with him. Craig was always accessible to help guide me through the criminal justice system and keep me from feeling bowled over by the weight and gravity of the situation. Craig's personality and demeanor had a very calming effect. Craig's block fees make you feel that you can call, e-mail, fax or meet with him whenever you feel necessary and that you don't have to worry that the only thing you are getting is an escalating legal bill. I am also happy to report that Craig's strategy for resolving my case also included helping to save my marriage which my wife and I are happy to report has dramatically improved since this whole ordeal began 2 months ago. I want to take this opportunity to thank Craig for getting my charge withdrawn and for helping me save my marriage and my family. If you are reading this testimonial, you have already taken the first great step in resolving your matter. Now make the next brilliant move and give Craig a call and get him working for you. You won't regret it!

I had an experience of my life working with you for more than a year. You are one of the best lawyer/friend I have ever met. You handled my case very professionally and passionately. The thing I liked about the most, you care about your client and talked about the issues/incidents to the point. I think, I have one more friend for life. I would definitely recommend you personally if any of my friend/community member need any kind of help.

You probably find yourself perusing this web site as I once did in dire straits. To be frank, choosing a lawyer at such a testing time is no pleasant task, but the inevitability reaches even the best of us, when life's situations can be unfair, as I'm sure is the case with your matter. What you can be certain of in retaining the services of Craig Penney may be summed up in a few adjectives, which merely touch the surface of what you will find out for yourself when under this distinguished gentleman's care. Succinctly, Craig Penney is professional, tenacious, passionate, and thorough. While no where on this web site will you find him blatantly mentioning his own track record in the Judicial System, you can take my word as a former client, and ethical professional myself, that he is worth his weight in gold, as a one-of-a-kind defense lawyer, who has success in cases which on appearance seem futile to defend! Don't cheat yourself in trying to deal with this most important matter of your life by retaining one of the many dime-a-dozen lawyers out there — keep faith in the fact that under the care of Craig Penney, your case becomes his concern, and his success allows your burden to be lifted, as I'm sure you will find out in due diligence, for yourself.

These child pornography allegations turned my life upside down. My first consultation was with another lawyer. I wasn't unhappy with anything he told me, but I remember driving home afterwards not feeling very good and not quite understanding what was about to happen. Then I met with Craig. After that meeting, I felt 100% better. Craig understood everything I was going through, and explained all the legal stuff in a way I could understand. That really made me feel better, especially after my experience with the first lawyer. During the case, Craig kept me informed about what was happening, and he was diligent in responding to my questions and making himself available -- even inviting me and my spouse to his home for one important meeting. I was constantly preoccupied with the "what if's" of the worse-case outcomes. Craig always did his best to keep me upbeat and focused. When Craig finally confirmed my charges were going to be withdrawn, I was numb with relief. I do remember during the course of events that as your client and as a person I did not feel at all judged by you. Not just my guilt or innocence but personally as well. Considering the connotations these charges carried, that was important to me. Let me take this opportunity to thank you again for all your help and getting me the best outcome possible. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone facing criminal charges.

Craig Penney is an immaculate professional, honest and hard-working. I have retained Craig for two traffic offences, and he’s been absolutely phenomenal. Both times, he’s worked every angle possible to acquit me. You will only get the truth regarding every situation with Craig; he provided me with every scenario in a humble and straightforward manner. I highly recommend Craig if you are looking for council that will work tirelessly because of genuine integrity and to achieve results for his clients, not just to make a buck.

I am an American citizen and had never been arrested in Canada. My experience in the system was very confusing. For many days, I was moved to and from holding locations and taken into Court without being told what I was charged with or what was going to happen. I applied for Legal Aid (a free lawyer) but didn’t know if I would qualify. Someone else awaiting trial gave me the phone number for a lawyer. He agreed to represent me but didn’t even show up for a preliminary appearance in Court. My mother found Mr. Penney and hired him on my behalf. I found that he was very, very nice during the entire process, and willing to explain my options very patiently. Canada was charging me with many offenses for illegal possession of weapons and handguns. Mr. Penney was confident, poised, and articulate in Court. If you are new to the criminal justice system, you may come into things thinking that you can explain what happened and things will go well. My experience was that your lawyer and the Court are at a sort of battle of skills and knowledge. Over a period of weeks and several Court appearances, Mr. Penney negotiated my release by having all charges withdrawn, and I was sent back to the United States from which I had fled. I was facing serious charges and I think in the hands of a less qualified, experienced and intelligent lawyer I might have ended up in a high-security mental institution. Mr. Penney prepared for my case by doing a lot of research on mental health cases and argued using this information very persuasively in the Courts. Mr. Penney was also very, very kind and reassuring during a very difficult time when I was often miserable, scared, and not patient at all.

Craig, Now that it is over, I would like to take a moment to congratulate you on your win. Hands down may I say. A great burden has been lifted off my shoulders, and after 16 months of living in fear for the worst, I feel human again. In fact, I feel great. And all of this is thanks to you. You made it happen. Your determination, your will to win, your strategy, your diligence, and your brilliant performance in and out of Court paid off. There are not enough words of praises in the English dictionary to describe how I feel. Again, I’m grateful and a big thanks to you.

Being a professional, I was very concerned when the police charged me with Criminal Harassment. Living in Guelph, I was even more confused and troubled by how I was going to handle this. I decided to search the internet for a good criminal lawyer and by complete serendipity I came across Craig Penney. At the time, I was concerned, obviously, that the criminal charge was going to destroy my career and perhaps my life. After talking with Craig, I realized right away that this was someone who was very understanding and compassionate towards his clients. Craig was always available to talk, and if he was busy he returned my calls within a very short period of time. Being from Guelph, I also decided to retain counsel locally, and there was quite a difference between Craig and this other lawyer in the promptness of returning calls in regards to my case. In the end, the charge was withdrawn, so effectively I will not have a criminal record, and my career and livelihood remain intact. I highly recommend Craig to anyone faced with a similar situation and although I'm sure he can't always produce the same amazing result in every case, you can be assured that you will be dealing with a criminal lawyer who is conscientious, courteous, and caring. As the expression goes, or should go — "you'll be in good hands with Craig Penney."

Hi Craig, Just wanted to again say thanks for sticking with me through all of this because the end result was much more than I could have expected. I know that when we had discussed the chances of beating an impaired the chances were very slim to none. And at times when I wasn't so upbeat about the case you kept me positive so thanks for that. I'm so glad that I took this to the end, because my life now has a much more positive outlook than it did just 24hrs ago. As I have time to reflect it seems like every decision we made led to another which actually in the end came together to help you win the case for me. Just an awesome job yesterday and my mom agreed and sends her thanks too. Its pretty hard to put in words how happy I am but I am sure you know how I feel. Anyway Craig again thank you so much for your hard work and it was great getting the chance to work with you.

Craig, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for representing me in my break and enter case. Heaven must have been looking after me when I decided to seek your counsel that day. You have been very understanding and compassionate towards my case, you made me feel good about myself, and you assured me that everything would work out. Your style and charisma gave me confidence, but, most of all, your compassion towards me is what I am truly grateful for. Not only did you achieve the results that you had stated, but you also saved my marriage. For this, I cannot thank you enough. I extend to you my sincerest thanks from me and my family, and I hope that you can help more people out of their dilemmas, as you have done for me.

Let's face it. Your typical lawyer doesn't exactly evoke a squeaky clean image. But, then again, Craig Penney is not your typical lawyer! When I first met Craig, my life was in a shambles. I had just been charged with three very serious offences. I had never been charged with anything before and I was extremely frightened. I knew there was a very real possibility that I could go to jail and I wasn't sure if there was anything I could do to stop it. I also knew I needed a lawyer but didn't know where to turn. I saw Craig's ad in a local gay publication, which at the very least put my mind at ease that I wouldn't be judged on my homosexuality. Upon our initial consultation, I began to tell Craig about my situation. He was kind and friendly and very sympathetic to my plight. He made me feel at ease, so I felt comfortable in confiding to him. This was a very unique and challenging case, one for the record books I'm sure, and I could tell that Craig was very interested in meeting the challenge. Craig recognized that I had been caring a heavy burden for a number of years and was in serious need of counselling. He referred me to a wonderful Psychiatrist whom I still see today and who has allowed me to come to terms with the demons of my past, accept responsibility for my actions and to release the pent up guilt I have been holding on to so tightly. My case took 17 months to come to trial, and Craig kept me informed and up-to-date on the proceedings all the way through, making himself available at any time to answer my questions or concerns. At the trail is when I got to see a true professional at work. He was amazing! He got the charges dropped and I plead guilty to only a minor offence with a year probation, but no conviction. Considering the odds against me, this was a major victory. I never thought a lawyer could have such an impact on my life, and change it for the better. I can never thank you enough Craig!

I was involved in a major pornography case in 1996, and felt helpless and hopeless. I was near destitute and ill. By sheer fluke, I saw Mr. Penney's advertisement. Having nothing to lose, I contacted him. Upon meeting Mr. Penney, I was immediately put at ease by his kindness and professionalism. My case took 18 months to settle and over 2 dozen Court appearances. Mr. Penney helped me maintain hope throughout this traumatic experience. As a result of his diligence and endless resources, a precedent was set with my case to protect those parties charged with similar offences in the future. Ordinary people sometimes get lost in the system, and Mr. Penney prevented it from happening to me! Thank you Mr. Penney. You were one of the few people who believed in my defence, and you made a difference!

I couldn't have survived this ordeal without Craig. I was completely lost and confused but it only took one meeting with him to find that ray of hope and remove the confusion that has covered my life. He was there guiding me during my darkest hour. He paved the way, through his diligence and determination, for my family to be one again. Now we have been able to start anew and live our life as before, happily. I would recommend him for any legal matter. He is in a class all his own.

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for your sincere efforts in my court case. I still cannot understand how you managed to get me out of the mess that I created for myself a few years back. I owe you a lot more than a letter of appreciation, but unfortunately, due to my circumstances, this is all I have to offer you. In the beginning of my downfall, I remember you always being in my corner, constantly getting me out of the problems that I created for myself. Back then, I didn't understand anything, but today, I understand a lot more thanks to your professionalism in winning every court case you defended me in. I can honestly say that you are great at doing your job. You and my father picked up the pieces of my life that I so quickly shattered within the four years of my addiction. Not only did you pick up the pieces, but also helped me and my father reconstruct my life back together. If it wasn't for you and my father, I wouldn't be writing this letter today. Your connection with my program and me is also very much appreciated. This says a lot about you. You are not only my lawyer, but also my friend because you displayed concern and interests towards my future by coming to events and fundraisers to help run the program that saved my life. Thank you, Craig Penney, from the bottom of my heart.

I was fortunate that I hired Craig's services for my case. My first impression of him was of an honest gentleman who has confidence and experience in his profession. I had a feeling from the bottom of my heart that I was in good hands. I found him very calm and a good listener that gives immediate comfort. He takes time to review and prepare the case from all angles and presents his case forcibly but intelligently. Craig kept me informed at all stages of my case and sent me copies of case files that increased my confidence in his ability and sincerity with the client. Additionally, he is always available to the client, which is an asset at the time of anxiety and need. I had a pleasant experience in having Craig's services in the moment of distress and uncertainty. It was the result of his services, diligence, and determination that ensured a successful case. Therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending him in your time of need. I wish him good luck and success in his future endeavours.

Not only can I speak to the high level of professionalism and skill that Craig demonstrated throughout the course of my legal proceedings that resulted in an extremely successful outcome, I feel it is also important to comment on the level of communication Craig consistently shared with me as his client. Having never experienced the legal process, the potential for stress on both my personal and professional life was considerable – Craig's commitment to keep me informed on every aspect of the case progress in an articulate and understandable fashion ensured that I could continue to function in my daily life and resulted in my expectations being managed very realistically. I would not hesitate to recommend Craig to anyone seeking counsel.

I had the great fortune of finding Craig through the Yellow pages. I was facing quite serious driving charges and was very surprised when Craig answered the phone in the late afternoon on a Saturday! He took the time to listen to my case, and reassured me it wasn't as bad as it sounded. I was even more surprised when Craig wanted to meet with me that very same evening to discuss our options. I say "our" because Craig had reassured me, and made me feel like, I was not in this alone. When I met with Craig later that evening, I found that he had researched the law on cases similar to mine. Craig took the time to discuss my situation and made sure I understood the process. Craig was very thorough in his work and was very well prepared for excellent representation in Court! When I needed Craig's help again two years later, he took time out of his Christmas party to prepare a statement I had to give to the police the following morning. It was Craig's hard work and dedication that yielded success on both matters. Craig took the time to explain everything, provide options, and keep me informed from start to finish. I would highly recommend Craig's services to anyone requiring legal representation. He’s thorough, knowledgeable, and achieves results!

Being in a very complicated and dangerous situation I did not have much time and experience to choose a right lawyer. Now, looking back, I could not be happier with my almost accidental choice of Craig Penney. Craig became my savior. It is up to him that I am now free and alive. He did everything to defend and save me. He also really cared about me, his client. This is something you not always get for your money. But this is something you need in order to achieve the best possible outcome in a situation like mine. Thank you, Craig. For your work I give you hundred points out of a hundred and strongly recommend your service to anyone who might need it.

I will recommend to everybody to avoid being implicated in any way in the Court system, unless this is your job. But, if you already are there, I can only tell you that you need a good counselor. You will need somebody who knows in the smallest details how the system is working, somebody who can anticipate where the case can develop in, and somebody that can answer all of your questions, and this 24-7. If you are in this situation already, then you will probably need Craig to help you out. He is very professional, extremely competent, and most of all, he is very close to his clients. By taking Craig's help, you will be in good hands not only in the Court system but you will also be helped to solve the roots of your problems that brought you here. I believe that this is a major help — to not make the same mistake again. Now, it is your decision if you want to have this stage of your life being short and quickly forgettable or to start being carried in the jungle of the Court system. It is your decision! I have asked for help from Craig and I got it. Thanks Craig!

I cannot fully express how ecstatic and thrilled we are with the successful Charter Challenge Application you obtained on Isaac's behalf. Congratulations on your excellent representation. I know how much time and effort you have put into this matter and I am very impressed with how you have handled this case. The withdrawal of the charges is the best thing that could have happened as Isaac can now move on with his life. Obviously, the past 18 months have been very difficult for Isaac and my mother as well, so this result is a huge relief. I feel that the stringent bail conditions and all the associated fall-out was ample punishment and I am so relieved that Isaac can be just an ordinary law-abiding citizen again. Thank you so much for your diligence and hard work.

As I was looking for a lawyer in the yellow and pink pages, I was a total mess. I was confused, I was hurt, and I faced serious criminal charges. After my consultation with Craig, I knew that my search for the right lawyer was over. Not only was Craig an excellent and professional lawyer, but he was also a comforting, understanding, and caring individual who put my mind and heart at ease. Right after our initial meeting, I felt that a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders and that Craig was now carrying my burden. I could then get back my normal duties of life and enjoy restful sleep because Craig was looking after absolutely everything. Well before and during the Court case, Craig had all the answers to my questions, and was extremely knowledgeable, committed, and courteous. I was very blessed to have Craig as my lawyer. He brought great positive energy into my life both professionally and personally.

I would like to thank you for all the good work that you have done on Isaac's behalf. Words really can't convey my gratitude and the relief I feel with the outcome. Your services throughout and your support are very much appreciated. You are doing important work.

I was introduced to Craig at a very chaotic time in my life. In fact, I was about to experience something that would change my life forever! I desperately needed guidance and support, and I was able to find both instantly with Craig. The one thing I continually noticed in him was how caring he was about me and my case in general. However, at the same time, he was a straight shooter, never sugar coating anything. It wasn’t until my case was coming to a close (which was over a year!) that I noticed how hard Craig was working for me, exploring and exhausting every option that was open to assist in my case. What was written about Craig on his website from past teachers, mentors, and colleagues is undeniable: he is truly a tireless worker and is relentless in his pursuit to represent his clients to the best of his ability. This story thankfully has a happy ending, being that my case was eventually dismissed. However, this ordeal did forever change the course of my life, and I will be forever in debt to Craig for enabling me to start with a clean slate. I look back on my experience with both negative and positive thoughts. But one that stands out immensely in the positive column is the true caring and friendship I felt from Craig. If you don’t instantly feel this from your lawyer, you should really think hard and long before hiring them. After all, you are putting your life in their hands and, most of all, as the client you have to feel confident that they can represent you to the best of their abilities. Thanks again Craig. You’re the best!!!

When I first came to Mr. Penney, I felt lost and uncertain. I was accused of assault and weapons. Immediately, Mr. Penney saw my emotional need and legal dilemma. He referred me to Dr. Quek who inspired me and gave me hope like a candle in the dark. Dr. Quek helped me tremendously in understanding myself and to deal with the case immediately. Mr. Penney handled my case professionally and I was relieved to discover that the case would finally be withdrawn by a peace bond. It has been slightly over four months of agony and anxiety, but I'm glad to have had Dr. Quek and Mr. Penney on my side.

After my arrest, I felt humiliated and that my life was over. Craig turned around my thinking and my life. He brought me freedom. He brought me relief. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for the miracle he performed. If you are in trouble like me, Craig Penney is the person for you.

I was out of work, out of money, and getting depressed, when out of the blue comes a chance of a lifetime... or so I thought. The next thing I know, I'm being charged with fraud over $5000. I was devastated!! Since I was already aware of Craig Penney as an excellent criminal defense lawyer, I had to call him. I'm so glad I did. Craig got the charges stayed. After many stressful months, I was finally able to return to a normal life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul Craig, I would, and have recommended you to anyone who needs a confident, awesome defense lawyer.

I recently required the services of a lawyer on a discreet basis. I am so thankful to have met Craig Penney, who handled my situation with empathy and professionalism, and who offered the moral support I needed at the time. Mr. Penney's expert advice and research, and his quick response to my situation gave me peace of mind and achieved the results I needed. I have absolute faith in Mr. Penney's legal expertise, and I most definitely would recommend him for any legal matter.

Being the so-called victim in a charge against my husband, I was utterly frustrated at my complete lack of control. My resentment for everyone connected with the criminal justice system was reaching a boiling point. Craig changed all that. During our first meeting, I felt my whole mind and body relax as he thoroughly and with compassion explained the process, identified our objective, and mapped out our strategy. I was relieved to give him my headache, and finally get a good night's sleep. When the charge was withdrawn, I could see from the expression on Craig's face that he sincerely shared our joy in victory. You can safely place yourself in his hands.

In March of 2003, I was charged with a criminal offence for the first time. As a result, I felt scared, intimidated, and worried. My thoughts became confused and I had difficulty concentrating on my work. I was an emotional wreck! Out of desperation, I searched the Yellow Pages for a lawyer. I saw Craig Penney's advertisement. He looked friendly in the picture. When I telephoned him to set up an appointment, he was courteous and professional on the phone. I soon met Craig at his office and I found him to be an energetic, articulate, helpful, and sincere individual. He seemed quite knowledgeable and experienced with criminal law and the Court system, as he thoroughly answered all of my questions and clearly explained everything to me. But what impressed me the most was that he displayed an extreme confidence in his ability to change my predicament into nothing less than a positive outcome. So with that, I immediately retained him as my lawyer to help me. I instinctively knew that he was extremely capable of representing me and defending my interests both inside and outside of the Court room. As I was leaving Craig's office, I felt a great sense of relief knowing that I had just hired one very good criminal defence lawyer. The despair I was experiencing had all disappeared. Ten months later, the criminal charge against me was finally withdrawn. Craig succeeded in reaching the goal that he set for himself resulting in one of the best possible outcomes for my case. Throughout my ten-month ordeal, Craig's confidence never wavered for a moment. He remained focused on his goal, and was always cheerful and upbeat. He kept me up-to-date with the latest developments and he was always accessible whenever I needed to ask him a question or address a concern. In my best interest, he also helped me to get professional help for my problems so as to ensure that I would never have another brush with the law. Even better still, I was able to live my life normally the whole time with minimal worry. Craig did all the worrying for me by taking care of everything including attending my 10 or so Court date appearances on my behalf so that I didn't have to! By using his professional expertise and know-how, he guided me virtually unscathed through an otherwise perilous Court system. Hiring Craig as my criminal defence lawyer was definitely the best move I ever made in my situation. I feel very fortunate to have met him. He applied himself 120% from start to finish and got great results for me. Thanks Craig. You did an excellent job!

Upon retaining Craig Penney as my lawyer, I knew I was in good hands from the onset. He is professional, understanding, and caring. He kept me informed of what was happening, explained everything about the process we were going through and my different options, and was always available for me at anytime to answer any questions that I might have. I highly recommend his services to anyone concerning legal matters.

When I was charged with over 80 late one evening it was a scary thing. Craig Penney was available early in the morning on a Saturday and quickly made me feel more in control. The potential impact to my family and career was first on my mind. Craig launched a thorough, strong, and ultimately successful defence on my behalf. I hope I never need Craig again but I would not hesitate to call him if I did.

From the first moment I met Craig, I felt confident that he was the right person to guide me through my legal problems. Craig met me on a very short notice and immediately relieved me of my anxiety about the process ahead. My intuition told me that I have chosen the right person for perhaps the most important battle of my life. Over the course of our relationship I always found Craig to be extremely professional and focused on the task at hand. Finally, I was extremely impressed with how Craig handled my case in the Court room and won the battle. His strategy, outlined to me ahead of time, proved 100% correct and effective. I am very thankful to Craig for doing an excellent job handling my case and would recommend his outstanding services to anyone facing legal issues.

Upon meeting Craig Penney, my initial impression was that of a sincere and thoughtful professional. Those feelings were supported throughout my dealings with him. Craig was always available to answer questions regarding my case, and, in doing so, often relieved any anxiety I felt as a result of my encounter with the criminal justice system. Craig possesses a keen intellect and even temperament, two qualities my family and I found both reassuring and encouraging. I would not hesitate to recommend Craig's services to any of my friends unfortunate to be in need of them.

Having used Craig’s services with regard to a serious drug charge relating to my daughter, I can highly recommend Craig to act on legal matters. His diligence and determination on my daughter’s behalf were evidence from the outset and ensured a successful case.

I would like to recommend the services of Craig Penney. As my lawyer, Craig helped me out of a very serious situation. Craig was straightforward, honest, and really did his homework to ensure I got a fair result. Craig fought hard for me in Court, and I can attest to his professional and results-oriented manner.

Craig Penney provides professional, expedient, and understanding service. His experience was of tremendous value during a high-anxiety period of dealing with the criminal justice system. I would not hesitate in recommending Craig to anyone.

My first impression of Craig Penney was that he was confident, experienced, and knew what he was talking about. He gave me a sense of ease at a time that was extremely stressful for me. I would recommend his services.

I met Craig Penney when I was facing serious criminal charges. From the first time we met, I felt extremely comfortable and relieved. Craig gave me new hope in my situation. He accepted my case, and was extremely successful during my trial. The success was due to his dedication, diligence, and great performance as a criminal defence lawyer. You should also know that Craig is not only business. He goes far beyond his professional responsibilities in helping out and making you feel as if you were dealing with a good friend. What especially impressed me was how he put his whole heart and soul into representing me. I remember going up to him after a particularly gruelling and successful day in Court, and telling him how grateful I was, and how much I appreciated, not only his obvious ability and persistence, but also his very personal commitment to me and my salvation.

Through my experience with Craig Penney, I found him to be trustworthy and very hard-working. He was extremely professional and diligent in handling my case. At the same time, he made me feel comfortable by treating me like a friend and by keeping me informed and well-educated about my case. He is very determined and passionate about what he does. Craig is a great lawyer and a great person all rolled up into one. I definitely recommend him to you in your time of need.

Craig Penney did a wonderful job for me, immediately reducing my stress and anxiety. He is an effective, experienced lawyer who uses his considerable expertise to excellent effect. He gets results with a minimum of fuss. I felt very comfortable with the great work he did on my behalf.

I have had the fortune of getting acquainted with Craig Penney. All I can say is that right from the first time we met in a professional capacity I knew in my heart I could not have found a better lawyer to represent me. He is confident and has an extremely calming personality, which gave me confidence in his abilities. His preparation is excellent and he DELIVERS. He shows care for his clients. I would most enthusiastically recommend Craig to anyone who is seeking the best.

Faced with an impending Court appearance the next day, and despairing about not having a lawyer to represent me, I feared the worst. I decided to try once more. I opened the Yellow Pages, and the first criminal lawyer my eyes fell upon was Craig Penney. Expecting to be rejected at such short notice, I called. I was at first pleasantly surprised that Craig actually answered the phone himself and not some secretary promising to pass my message on to him like so many others had done before... without a single returned call. After outlining my case to him came my second surprise. Craig was willing to take the case at such short notice! He represented me the next day in Court and got a postponement until he could review the case properly. He told me he understood I was stressed and I should not worry about anything. We met again over the next few months and Craig assured me he would win the case, all the while telling me not to worry. He won the case. Being a spiritual man, I consider him a godsend, especially considering the way I happened upon him. Craig is a young, confident and hard-working lawyer who actually cares about his clients. I would have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend him most highly to anyone who needs strong and caring representation in Court.

At a time when things were not looking so bright in my life, I was very glad to come across Craig Penney. I had been charged with a criminal offence and was not sure where to turn. After talking to Craig, I was quickly put at ease, and felt a confidence in him that he would be able to handle the case easily, as he had informed me that he had previous experience with this type of offence. I was very pleased with the way Craig handled the whole situation. He is a talented lawyer and shows a great deal of confidence. Thanks again Craig for all your help!

Craig, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you've done for me. You've helped me get through what is hopefully the lowest point in my life. I've learned a lot from this ordeal, and I hope I've become a better person as a result of this. Thank you for all your help and support.

I had been charged with fraud and theft over $5000. Being a first time offender, I was extremely anxious and on the verge of a breakdown. After contacting numerous lawyers who were all unavailable to speak to me, I contacted Craig who was able to meet with me and discuss my case all on the same day. Craig is compassionate, loyal, trustworthy, and highly efficient. I am very grateful to have met Craig and to have had him as my lawyer.

Thank you for your voice of experience and your attention to detail that helped resolve my son's legal matters. But that's just part of what you did so well. Your advice — that we use this opportunity to get him to see a therapist — made the critical difference. As a result, he has had the help he needed to sort himself out. Also: You remained the ultimate professional when my patience failed me. You spoke directly to my son and made him be accountable for himself. You were fair with the pay schedule. You were amazingly accessible considering your case load. In many ways, you saved my son, and for that I am eternally grateful to you. Thank you Craig Penney.

Looking for a lawyer? Well look no further. Craig Penney is the cream of the crop. When I needed a lawyer for my case, I interviewed several. After meeting Craig, I knew immediately that he was not your average lawyer. What separates him from your average lawyer is his fierce dedication to your cause and his talent. Talent is a rare quality that few possess. Talent is what makes an individual stand out in their respective profession, which makes Craig an all-star lawyer. He is also an all star individual. His compassion for me helped to relieve me of my burden because I was able to rest assured, knowing that nobody would be able to get me a better result. Craig was optimistic about winning and he came through. The charges in my case were withdrawn!! He will get you the best outcome possible. I highly recommend hiring Craig to represent you. It could be the best decision you make in your life.
