Probate Litigation - Steven D. Penrose

Steve was fantastic in helping us nagivate my mother's estate. He helped me understand the legal process, kept other family members within legal bounds and masterfully prepared my court case leading to our success. I highly recommend him!

Steve, I just wanted to follow up with a quick word of thanks. There were a few bumps...I'm sure there always are...and you handled them. I appreciate your help, Steve...your professionalism...your patience...your candor. Your style fit my style well, and I appreciate everything.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Bruce Howard

I have been represented by Mr. Penrose since 1998, during which time he has successfully settled various complex family estate probate issues for me.  He has the unique expertise of being a probate attorney with litigation background.  In some of my cases, litigation and mediation have been required and I have not had to retain a second attorney, as many estate probate attorneys are not litigators. Steve is very organized and thoroughly methodical. He is a pleasure to work with, as he can explain the most intricate, complicated issues in an easy to understand manner.

Land Use - Charlene B. Atack

Probably the best practicing land-use attorney in Santa Cruz now. She is focused on helping her clients get their projects done without aggravating or making enemies with any of those "wonderful" folks at the local Coastal Commission office or County Planning Department. She has represented me on a couple of residential projects, with good results.
