Robert P. Pentangelo

Read all of the reviews on google. May be good for very simple cases but this man is all around just confused and a bit unprofessional. Fails to communicate and will have you stressing more than not having a lawyer. Told him I wanted an itemized bill of what was done on his part and he blocked me. In... the process of reporting to the bar and with all the poor reviews. Seems it won’t be hard to see that this man shouldn’t be in practice anymore. Please don’t waste your time

He had almost 6 months to obtain video and he subpoena the last week of December when we had court in about a week . He fail to work in my case , do follow ups with the courts and present evidence as he promised. I always called him and he was always too busy to talk about my case.He promised me to... get the video. He did not put any effort into my case or into the cross examination was presented poorly . We lost the case to someone that wasn’t representative with NO Attorney and NO Law Degree .I lost due to him not providing evidence as promised when I hired him .DO NoT Hired him. He will make you look bad in court !! He will take your money and run.

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...ted him every day and he didn't answer anything, obviously, he already had the money in his hands . The useless and boor a called me on the last day, January 10, 24 at 8; 30 in the morning to tell me that he had to give him 250 more dollars to send a letter. I called the other party's attorney and found that this guy hadn't even let them know that he was representing me. After this, I complained to him and he became arrogant and threatened me. Avoid wasting money and time on this flake and invest it in someone more professional.

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...s and frankly there were not many that I was impressed with. Mr. Pentangelo came in with a lower price but "you get what you pay for" in this instance was so true. I think he thinks he can do the job without preparation and when he loses he blames it on anything but him, and when he wins, he thinks it's because of his brilliance. I won my case despite that he could have blown it six ways from Sunday as the expression goes. I think he is incapable of bothering to be a decent attorney. The negative comments on these pages have the common theme that I agree with--no prep, ignores deadlines, and doesn't do the job. Notice no one appears to think he can't do the job, rather that he doesn't bother. If you have a strong case, you might win with him as your lawyer if he doesn't do too much to blow it. If your case is weak, God help you because as I see it, his work ethic is so poor that anything can go wrong. I think he could do the job if he bothered but think he is incapable for whatever reason. If you hire him, follow him every step of the way and make sure he is up to date and prepared. He's arrogant and defensive and at times will not even truly answer when you contact him giving only vague responses. If you hire him, I recommend you do not let down your guard for a moment. Keep an email record of anything you ask him, and all of his replies and tip him off to the fact that your emails are a record. Try to find a lawyer that is more responsible. You have enough to worry about when facing a judge, watching your attorney shouldn't have to be a top priority.
