About Jeremy C.
Jeremy C. Penland earned his Juris Doctor from Liberty University School of Law. He is admitted to practice in the State of Georgia and is authorized to appear before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
He has been active in professional associations that serve criminal defense practitioners. He holds a sustaining membership in the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and is a member of the American Bar Association. Those affiliations connect him to peers across the state and the country and to the resources those organizations provide on criminal law and procedure.
Penland's work is centered on criminal defense. He represents individuals charged with a range of offenses in Georgia courts and handles matters that reach into the federal appellate level where permitted. His practice involves trial work, pretrial motions, and appellate filings when cases move beyond the trial court. He handles matters that require familiarity with both state criminal procedure and federal appellate rules.
Colleagues describe his courtroom presence as straightforward. He prepares filings, conducts hearings, examines witnesses and argues motions in open court. In appellate matters he focuses on legal briefs and oral argument before the Eleventh Circuit when the case record and procedural posture allow. He balances case preparation between factual investigation and legal research when building mitigation or challenging legal issues.
Outside court, Penland maintains his practice from the Penland Law Office. The office handles consultations, case intake and representation for people facing criminal charges. He keeps active memberships in professional groups to stay current on developments in criminal law and sentencing across Georgia and at the federal appellate level.
His day-to-day practice emphasizes direct client contact and courtroom work. He accepts cases that require representation in Georgia state courts and cases that may proceed to the Eleventh Circuit for appellate review. He currently practices at Penland Law Office, where his work concentrates on criminal defense in Georgia and before the Eleventh Circuit.
