Andre L. Pennington | Surprise Estate Lawyer

We helped numerous families struggling to get their loved ones qualified for Medicare, ensuring that they would get the dignified care that they deserved at the end of their life, while protecting assets.

We simply focused on taking care of our clients and let the rest take care of itself. We have maintained that attitude over the years and believe our clients enjoy the care that they receive each time they call, email or walk through our doors.

Clients should seek to be comfortable with their lawyer, which is comprised of 100% trust in the lawyer's abilities and the lawyer's motives to put the client and his or her goals first.

Local knowledge is of great importance. To understand estate planning is not only to understand the law, but how it practically works in the real world. An attorney that does not understand the practical effects is only performing at half capacity. An attorney that understand both, is an expert.

The client will walk away knowing if they have a good case, the rate of pay for the legal services and the ability to move forward on their case, if they so choose. A phone call with us will put the client at ease that we are subject matter experts and will be effective at meeting the client's goals.

We try to keep everything simple. We just need the client to have a general understanding of the estate, and we can help with the rest and guide the conversation to make a complex topic appear very simple.

I am a military veteran, who served as a military attorney, which lends to the core value of the Air Force playing out in each client's case: Integrity First, Excellence in All We Do, and Service Before Self.

Helping clients to protect their legacies and ensuring that loved ones are able to navigate the complex legal process with an expert that keeps it down-to-earth and simple. I love being a part of the solution to a client's case.

I love my family dearly. I enjoy playing basketball and training in my martial art, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

I am a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and train regularly. I am a Coach and lifetime member at De Boa Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in Surprise, Arizona. I am a founder and director for Arizona's Children Coalition, dedicated to bring sports to our most at-risk youth.
