About Christy Penton

Hi. I’m Christy Penton. I became a Personal Family Lawyer because I am honored to help families and individuals avoid the conflict that I experienced when estate planning failed in my own family.

I’m here to help Pensacola, Florida and Hammond, Louisiana area clients navigate the maze of legal and financial decisions they face, and I love educating my community on estate planning.

My practice focuses on family protection, wealth preservation, values-based planning, and planning strategies for unmarried couples and blended families.

Whether you are married or single, a traditional family or a blended one, starting out or looking back on a life well-lived, I will help you to design a plan that achieves your goals today and for years to come.

I graduated with high honors from Mitchell Hamline School of Law in 2018 and am a member of Wealth Counsel, a national organization of trusts and estates attorneys and other legal, tax and business professionals who design sophisticated plans for individuals and families. I also completed training for special needs and asset protection planning through Elder Law College and am a lifetime member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, where membership is limited to attorneys who have achieved million-dollar awards and fewer than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members.

I also have a Master’s degree in Healthcare Management, a Bachelor of Science in Cellular and Molecular Biology, and an Associate degree in Registered Nursing.

Most importantly, I am the proud wife of Michael and mother of Andrew and Matthew.

THE PERSONAL FAMILY LAWYER PROMISE

What makes PFL lawyers different?

How you hire us.

We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
How we plan.

We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
What we protect.

Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
What you see.

Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
How we deliver.

Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
How our plans work.

One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
