Spinning circle Big letter B

A deeply experienced trial attorney who has long fought for clients in court and beyond, Ashley Pennington is committed to protecting the rights of others and determined to see systemic reform.

A long-time criminal defense attorney, his practice now focuses on civil rights law, such as federal Section 1983 Civil Rights lawsuits and South Carolina Tort Claims that allow victims of government wrongdoing to recover damages. These actions include personal injury lawsuits and cases involving excessive force by law enforcement and police-involved shootings.

Ashley is also intensely interested in jail and prison reform throughout the state. He wants to improve the mental health services provided to those accused of crimes as well as for imprisoned individuals.
