Client Reviews
"I used Penelope to draft a Non-Compete agreement because my practice was very busy at the moment. My client was very happy with her draft, the way she was able to incorporate his specifications, and the way she was able to anticipate any future needs for his business. He has now come back for additional work due to what Penelope has done for him. I am looking forward to expanding my business and using her again."
