Home Pennington Law Firm

Whitney Pennington is the founding attorney of Pennington Law Firm, PLLC, a respected family law and estate planning firm based in Abingdon, Virginia. Recognized nationally by the International Business Times, she is distinguished by her compassionate approach that values how clients are treated during their most challenging times as much as achieving successful legal outcomes.

Graduating at the top of her class from Campbell University’s Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law, Whitney gained valuable experience as a senior associate at a boutique family law firm in Northern Virginia. There, she cultivated a philosophy that aggressive, dedicated representation should be accessible to all families—not just those with wealth or prestige—forming the cornerstone of her practice.

With extensive expertise in handling complex matters such as divorce, child custody, child support, protective orders, and estate planning, Whitney is especially knowledgeable about the significant 2025 family law reforms in Virginia. Her background as a Virginia Assistant Attorney General in the Division of Child Support Enforcement lends her a deep understanding of modern child support guidelines and parental rights issues, ensuring her clients receive informed, clear guidance.

Whitney is committed to helping families move forward with clarity and dignity during difficult transitions, emphasizing communication and respect throughout the legal process. Pennington Law Firm is currently accepting new clients and offers an initial $100 consultation.

This website serves as a free to the consumer directory designed to assist potential clients in finding attorneys and law firms in their area. Our directory is state-specific, with some state lists further divided into regions or areas based on population size to enhance relevance. The selections featured in our directory are based on independent research and/or nominations and should not be interpreted as an endorsement, certification, or guarantee of an attorney’s or law firm’s qualifications, abilities, or performance. The designations such as “10 Best,” “Best,” “Excellence,” “Our Selection” or any similar titles reflect our organization’s independent selection process and acceptance criteria, which take into account various factors but do not constitute a definitive ranking or certification of superiority over other attorneys or firms.
