We Help Families Navigate Life’s Hardest Transitions

Clients often reach out when they’re facing with one of these situations:

  • Considering divorce or legal separation
  • Needing clarity on child custody or child support
  • Planning for the future with wills, trusts, and directives
  • Handling probate after the loss of a loved one
  • Managing ongoing family conflict that needs resolution

No matter where you’re starting, we focus on solutions that protect your family — and your peace of mind.

A Thoughtful Alternative to Courtroom Conflict

Not every family dispute needs to become a courtroom battle. In many cases, mediation offers a more respectful, efficient, and cost-effective way to resolve issues — while keeping control in your hands instead of a judge’s. Heather Penning provides attorney-led family law mediation focused on practical, legally sound agreements—without unnecessary escalation. Common mediation matters include:
  • Divorce mediation
  • Child custody and parenting plans
  • Child support and modification issues
  • Post-divorce disagreements
  • Family conflict resolution
Why mediation with Penning Law works:
  • Attorney-guided, legally grounded process
  • Confidential, structured, solution-driven
  • Focus on workable, enforceable agreements
  • Reduced emotional and financial strain
