About

I am fortunate to have received the highest  rating (AV) bestowed fro I am Martindale-Hubbell, the preeminent national rating service for attorneys. The AV rating means that other attorneys and judges before whom I have appeared were surveyed by Martindale- Hubbell and those legal professionals anonymously rated my abilities as an attorney with the highest to preeminent legal skills and highest in adhering to ethical standards. I am also awarded membership in the Top Trial Lawyers in America's Million Dollar Advocates Forum composed of the select group of personal injury attorneys who have won million dollar results. I am very pleased that the judiciary has recognized me with appointments to The Character and Fitness Committee for the Third Judicial Department where I assess the character and fitness of attorneys seeking admission to practice law in New York State. I was also appointed  to and currently serve on the Board of Governors For The Attorney /Client Fee Dispute Resolution Program where I also chair The Legal Issues Subcommittee. This important Board sets procedure s for the resolution of fee disputes between lawyers and clients throughout the State of New York without the need for clients hiring another lawyer to process a fee dispute.  Both of the foregoing appointments were made by the Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division for The Third Judicial Department. I was appointed  to the Judicial Elections Qualification Commission for the Fourth Judicial District  by the Chief Judge for the State of New York  and currently serve as  chairperson for the commission.  The Commission evaluates judicial candidates for all judicial positions from City Court to Supreme Court in the eleven counties of the Fourth Judicial District of the State of New York.   The Commission issues a finding of qualified or not qualified after reviewing candidate submissions and interviewing the judicial candidates.  I have also served as a Master Attorney in The American Inns of Court, Albany Law School Chapter. This organization brought together select judges, attorneys and law students to foster the ethical practice of law. As a lifetime member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum I join less than 1% of the Lawyers in America as a member of this prestigious group. In addition to personal injury cases, my practice in state and federal courts covers commercial litigation, civil rights and employment litigation and corporate represenation. In 30 Years of practice, I have acted as lead counsel in hundreds of personal injury and wrongful death claims arising from auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, construction accidents, medical, dental and legal malpractice, police misconduct, product liability, fire and explosion cases.  I have also represented business owners in matters involving myriad disputes requiring legal intervention and have advised employees wronged by their employers.

Mr. Pennock is the best lawyer I've ever had, one you would want to have on your side no matter what type of case or legal affairs you want handled. He is very thorough, honest, and detail-oriented. Nothing misses his legal eye, and the wealth of accumulated legal knowledge and experience he has in various legal areas (especially in cases where they might overlap legal boundaries) is unbeatable. He is fair in everything, including and especially his reasonable fees, and he will tell you if you are being unreasonable in your demands or if you are crossing any legal lines in any of your cases and dealings that you entrust to him. He was my lawyer for a car accident and in real estate, and the thoroughness of the advice and work that he put into both were the same even though both didn't actually pay him the same amount of money. With Mr. Pennock, it doesn't matter what job he is handling or how much the job costs: it is that he gets the job done very well with your best interests always in mind. This is also why I say he is ethical, because unlike a lot of lawyers you meet these days who may only treat you as a case (instead of a person), Mr. Pennock will tell you how your legal decisions may affect you, your family and loved ones, or the other party you are working against, always making sure you do not endanger yourself legally. Because of his work ethic, his partners and legal staff follow the same principles he has set and have the same high regard for you and the law as he himself does.

we have known john pennock for about 30 years . in 1981 he defended us in an auto accident which had a positive outcome. then, in 2006 when we had a horrible life changing accident, john pennock was with us every step of the way. that also resulted in a very positive outcome which was tried in federal court. john pennock is very experienced and knowledgeable and comes to trial well prepared to win.

John Pennock’s talent for the law is exceptional. Extraordinary trial preparation and organization, witness preparation and trial execution. I am always amazed at how he assimilates and thoroughly digests every detail of any importance. At deposition and trial, John handles every witness with great skill, persistently extracting from them good, solid, factual testimony. Jurors follow his every move in the courtroom, listening intently to his penetrating examination of witnesses, both friendly and hostile. His closing argument puts it all together for the jury in a highly effective, understandable and believable manner. He is very well regarded by the bar and the bench for his high degree of professionalism and skill. Always civil. If you need a gladiator to go to court and wage your war for you, then you need John Pennock.
