Hired Attorney Edward L. Chun

We feel fortunate that we found Edward L. Chun and that he could take our case on short notice. We needed a real estate attorney in Santa Cruz County who could quickly get up to speed with our complicated landlord/tenant issues. We knew we were out of our depth concerning California's current landlord/tenant laws, so we needed advice and guidance, preferably from someone who had experience with similar cases. Mr. Chun demonstrated his adeptness at handling all the issues that arose, starting with our first conversation and continuing to the end. We recommend Mr. Chun for his professionalism and support.

I don’t enjoy dealing with lawyers as I always feel I’m over my head. But Steven Penrose and his staff give me explicit instructions along the way, walking me through this personal ordeal, and left me feeling confident that I was doing the right thing. I would call him again immediately if another legal situation should arise. I highly recommend Steven Penrose and his stellar staff!

Hired Attorney Edward L. Chun

Mr.Edward Chun is another attorney that deserves a 6th star. His knowledge concerning a sale of a real property that was in contention was an area I felt he handled extremely well. He answered my questions when I needed clarification. If anyone needs an attorney to handle a real estate issue, look no further than Mr.Edward L. Chun

There should be a provision for a 6th star because that's what Mr. Steven Penrose deserves. The word that I think is most appropriate is stellar. I found that everyone at his law firm conducted themselves with the upmost knowledge, concern, professionalism and diligence concerning my case. I would never hesitate in recommending the Penrose Law Firm to anyone needing any legal work.

Hired Attorney Steven Penrose

Hiring Steven Penrose has been an outstanding experience! Mr. Penrose is extremely professional and exceptional in accomplishing challenging issues that were asked of him. My sibling and I needed support that involved a very complicated trust and business that we inherited with no understanding of how to move forward. He is very patient in taking time to answer all our questions in detail and helped us fully understand what was needed to be completed in our behalf. We feel so grateful for his knowledge and support through these difficult times, and would highly recommend Steven and his incredible team to anyone in need of his expertise!

Frankly put, Steven Penrose is nothing less than a miracle worker! My sibling and I retained him nearly 3 years ago to rid us of the many Gordian knots that we had to contend with due to our father's highly complicated trust and estate. He's brilliant (always a step or two ahead of any possible concerns), a fierce advocate, unquestionably dedicated, thorough, patient and treats us with the utmost respect. His knowledgeable colleagues, paralegals and staff further add to the firm's overall standard of excellence. If you're looking for the best ... you've just found it.

Mr. Penrose and his team assisted my sister and I since 2017 until now (2020) as we fought to ensure that our Father's trust was handled honorably. He made sure that all "loose ends were tied" in order to enforce fiduciary responsibility by the executor. I appreciate his experience, hard work and dedication.

Hired Law Firm

From the first meeting involving my uncle's estate, I knew I had selected the right law firm. I dealt primarily with Jordan Ciliberto. I found him to be knowledgeable, extremely professional, and responsive and timely in all regards. Without his assistance and legal advice, I would have never been able to open and close probate in such a timely manner. He was also a great assistance in selling the real and personal property involved in the estate. I would not hesitate to use this law firm again

I particularly appreciated Ed Chun's insight as he developed a strategy with which to move forward in a nasty contractual/collections dispute.
