For those who are interested, this man is a jerk and poorly educated. For nothing in the world do you invest money in this man? On December 19, I presented my case to him which he took and he only asked me about money. I paid him $500 to represent me in a response to the court. I called him and tex...

I hired Mr. Pentangelo for a criminal matter. He seemed to have a grasp of the law and the courts. The problem with him for me is that he doesn't do anything he is supposed to do in preparation. I would Not recommend him and in fact, I think it is hard to do worse. I interviewed quite a few attorney...
I do not recognize who "anonymous"is and why he or she will not reveal their identity I do not know. It appears this is a client whose case I won-apparently that is not good enough for him nor is the more reasonable price I quoted him compared to other lawyers he talked to. This person claims that HE won the case, although I could have blown it in half a dozen ways. Bottom line is here is a client whose case I (not he) won and who paid less money for legal representation then he might have. An unreasonable and disgruntled individual. Maybe he thinks that it was HIS brilliance that won the case.

I hired this attorney. You can compile the negative reviews in Google and Avvo regarding money, and basically that is what happened to me. I hope that enough reviews will expose the harm this individual can cause to a person's case and financial position.
I do not know who anonymous is, obviously I cannot comment on this.

Mr. Pentangelo has represented me since 2020 for a traffic stop that had several different issues. I was scared, embarrassed and most of all afraid of losing my license and my ability to provide for my family. I found Mr. Pentangelo’s information and we met and I hired him for his honestly, his rep...

I've worked with Bob Pantenglo years ago, I even referred colleagues to him. 3 week ago I reached out to him regarding a letter, instantly he told me to send $250, he told me the letter will be done in 3days...it's been 3weeks. Bob asked to be involved sexually, he asked about single friends, to this...
I have known her for a long time and she has referred people to me-always pleased by the results. I said I would do the letter for her, underestimating how busy I was that week. She needed the letter sooner than I could get it to her. Initially I was not going to refund her $250.00 but in consideration of us having done business in the past I refunded it. I did ask about her single friends and she was agreeable to inquiring. I never asked her to be involved sexually; I did ask if she was interested in going out with me-she was not-that was it.
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Pentangelo is an excellent lawyer and his sage advice is helpful to those that seek his assistance."
