As a long time SC small business owner, I really appreciate the honest, professional, and insightful advice and counsel that Ken Gorman gives me. I sifted thru other attorneys but none of them had the standard of excellence that I receive from Ken. It is a comfort to know that I have Ken in my corner. Highly recommend!! Thanks, Ken!!

I was referred to Penrose, Chun & Gorman because of the complexity of our probate case involving a sibling who took advantage of our mother with Alzheimer’s disease. This case involved deposing a neurologist and a geriatrician to challenge the mental and physical ability of our mother to make decisions regarding her estate. Ken Gorman’s line of questioning and attention to detail regarding types of medication and duration of medication was outstanding. Ken and Hillary did the heavy lifting and in our opinion did a fantastic job. With Ken’s advice we ended up settling during mediation and in the end, our mother’s wishes in her Last Will and Testament were fulfilled. Thank you, Ken and the rest of the team!

I would absolutely recommend without a doubt. Stephen Penrose has helped me with a very complicated legal matter, End up in my favor. He thoroughly explains everything and I feel that he is a very genuine and honest person. Not something you see very common with lawyers these days. Aside from that he does deliver and is very aggressive. I would highly recommend.

I have worked with Steven Penrose on several occasions and he is EXCELLENT! He is extremely smart, an expert on all aspects of trusts and estate planning, open minded, creative, and easy to work with. He helped me plan my personal estate and also helped me solve an extremely complex trust problem. I give him my highest recommendation! Douglas Sunde, M.D.

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!

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.

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.

Penrose Chun & Gorman, LLP came highly recommended; we found that Mr. Gorman and Mr. Penrose were very professional and detailed with great communication in our probate and trust litigation that ended in our favor (Judge John Gallagher).   Mr. Gorman represented us with dignity, honesty and his years of legal experience; he was considerate of our feelings in this family matter and very thoughtful and thorough while maintaining professionalism.  Paralegals, Rochelle and especially Hillary May Dickson were extremely helpful and experienced.  We highly recommend this talented team of litigants.  Place your estate planning, trust, and probate matters in Penrose Chun and Gorman, LLP’s capable, experienced and professional hands. It is very important to have confidence in the attorney that represents you!Tom A. and R.A.

Count me extremely satisfied with these talented and experienced attorneys. I have employed Steven Penrose, Ed Chun and former partner Charlene Atack in my work as a professional fiduciary. Mr. Penrose represented me as a trustee several years ago in a weeklong trial that vindicated my efforts and even increased my authority in the case. Mr. Penrose helped again in 2015 after I sold trust-owned real estate used by an income beneficiary as her residence, leaving her unable to afford rent in senior housing. He drafted an agreement to modify the income-only QTIP trust into a 5% unitrust and convinced reluctant remaindermen to agree. This firm has always done excellent work for me.

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

Steven Penrose orchestrated and executed a strategy to settle a difficult situation involving 5 lawyers, a trustee, a judge, a commercial broker and several owners. He maintained a singular focus to accomplish my goals as fast as possible. His billing hours were fair and justified. Steven was thorough, communicative and efficient throughout the one year period which could have been much longer. I highly recommend Steven and Atack & Penrose for legal help.

Steven was exceptional and complete in his research, professional representation and timely execution of his professional duties. We especially welcomed his open attitude about taking as much of the emotional burden off of us as possible. We firmly believe that because of his thoroughness and professional competence the lawsuit in which he represented us was brought to a speedy and successful conclusion. In addition, his revision of our family trust was thorough and timely. We are grateful!

I have only had one case in opposition to Mr. Penrose, but I was highly impressed with his superior knowledge and judgment. We were able, in the end, to resolve a highly complex matter and to avoid a trial which would have been very messy. He had to handle a difficult client but seeminly did so effectively and with respect. I have a great deal of admiration for Mr. Penrose based on that experience.
