Penland, Romans, & Rayburn Law Firm, GP

I just needed to file a change of custody that my ex and I agreed upon. The firm was quick to start the process when they thought we were going to go to court. When they found out that wasn't the case I couldn't get ANYTHING done. I had to sit outside the office to get a response after 6-7 calls and a few emails. Almost two years later, and literally nothing has been completed, and now I can't even get them to just dismiss the damn case! Do NOT recommend this firm at ALL!!

Hard Working attorneys ready to work for YOU!! They did a great job for me!!! THANK YOU PENLAND ROMANS AND RAYBURN!!!

I had an excellent experience with Penland, Romans and Rayburn, especially Tonya Ford. From the start, I felt supported and well-informed throughout the entire process. Tonya was compassionate, responsive, and took the time to clearly explain every step, which made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. The entire office was professional, respectful, and truly cared about my case. I’m very grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend Tonya Ford and her team to anyone seeking knowledgeable and trustworthy legal representation.

He took $3500 dollars to represent our case! He never showed up for any court case. Then, ghosted us!

My experience with Jeremy Penland is something I will carry for the rest of my life. I trusted him with the safety and well-being of my children. I paid him $3,500 — money I could barely afford — because I believed he would stand by me through the most critical moment of my family’s life. Instead, he quit on me for no legitimate reason that I was ever given, simply because he felt like it. He walked away at the worst possible time, after taking my money, knowing I no longer had the financial ability to hire another attorney. I told him my children’s mental health was at stake. I told him they were struggling and needed someone to fight for them. He showed no concern and left me to face everything alone. Because of how my case was handled, key issues about my children’s emotional and psychological safety were never addressed. And now, my son Jonathan Arehart is gone. I am not claiming anyone caused his death — but I am a mother who now lives with unbearable grief, and I cannot ignore how abandoned and unsupported I felt during the process that was supposed to protect my children. This review is not about revenge. It is about truth. It is about warning other parents not to put their faith, their money, or their children’s futures in the hands of someone who may walk away when you need them most. Remember his name Mr. Penland, JONATHAN CHRISTOPHER AREHART

Amber Romans is the best attorney I’ve ever met. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She walks you through the entire process and makes you feel comfortable about your decisions. I would give 10 ⭐️s if I could!!! Highly recommend 🩷

Jeremy has been such a blessing to work with. He is professional, compassionate, and incredibly thorough. He has handled my case, and continues to handle my ongoing situation with so much care and respect. I always feel heard, supported, and confident in his guidance. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly listens and knows how to navigate complex situations with professionalism and heart, Jeremy is the one you want in your corner.

Myself and my family are grateful for Jeremy's care and knowledge concerning our case and resolution. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and how much attention and concern Jeremy showed our family during a difficult legal matter. Myself and my family highly recommend Jeremy Pendland for all your legal needs and council, we easily give him 5 stars+. Thank you Jeremy and staff.

Mr. Penland and staff took very good care of me during a complicated divorce. Mr. Penland went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of going forward in life. His instincts were spot on and he knows what he's doing. I can't thank him enough and will recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer!

By far the worst people ever to deal with, they lack communication an then Stonewall under a "you gotta pay before we do anything" after waiting a month a half on them to get the paperwork work so we can legally discuss the case in its entirety. I would not recommend them if you want professionals who stand by their word an do there part. This is a house hold of circus clowns including of the main partner Amber. If you value professionalism, courtesy, honesty an respect. Find you somewhere else to go

I was in need of an attorney to deal with issues concerning an extended family matter. Bryan Rayburn was so knowledgeable and was able to take care of it promptly.

Very professional and courteous and they do a great job. Mr Penland will definitely be my first recommendation to anyone looking for a lawyer.

I came to the Penland and Romans law firm for a personal injury case. They were very accommodating at first, but that quickly changed. Every time that I called or sent an email IF I got a response back, it would be at least 2 weeks as a response time. I was never kept up to date on my case or where in the process we were. I didn’t even know how much my policies or case was worth. My son was in a bad accident where he was burnt very badly at his father’s house. He has 3rd degree burns all over his arms and fingers. He couldn’t come to where I am currently staying because there are dogs, and he couldn’t get anything in his open wounds. He also needed to go to Nashville to a burn specialist 3 times a week. I didn’t have the money to get a new place, so I was going to get a loan settlement for assistance since it will take such a long time for his wounds to heal. I wouldn’t be able to see my son unless I did this. The loan settlement company said that it would be 24-48 hours of payout after they got everything from the lawyer’s office. It had been 5 days, so I called to see what was going on. I was told that it was being taken care of, and someone would call me back. It had been 4 days with no update. I call back. I was told that the file was being worked on. Another 3 days went by. I called yet again with the same response. I waited for 5 more days with no communication, so I went down to the office. I was speaking very upsetting because I hadn’t seen my son in a month and a half. I wasn’t able to console him during this time. I couldn’t hold him. I couldn’t care for him as only a Mother can. This money is my only way to have him with me. She takes me into an office. I’m upset, then she starts positioning her phone and looking at it while I was talking being inconspicuous. It was obvious what she was doing. I asked,”Are you recording me?” She quickly denied it acting as if I was crazy, but then placed her phone down where it wasn’t positioned towards me anymore. She wouldn’t address any of my questions, then they escorted me out. I never got the money, so I haven’t seen my son in 3 months. I sent Jeremy Penland an email of my concerns. I didn’t hear back from him at all. I found another lawyer to take my case. He was happily going to take it, but he said that he needed to call this law firm, and I needed to let them know that he would be taking over my case. I did. I waited for him to call me back. I didn’t hear anything. I called his office, and nothing. He gave me his own cell number. Nothing. Suspicious that he was good until he spoke with this law firm. Now, I can’t find anyone to represent my case. I just received my file that I requested 2 months ago. I call the courthouse to find out where we are in the litigation process because they never told me anything. A trial is going to begin Nov. 12. I am forced to go pro se or representing myself because no one will take over the case since it is in the process of where it is. I have to get up to date on a case that I know nothing about. Great representation.

The Penland Law Firm did an excellent job and he went above the call in a very complicated case.

Unprofessional is the best way to describe Jermey’s character. He is not concerned about what is best for his clients. His only concerned is getting every penny out of them he can. DO NOT HIRE.
