Robert will go the extra mile for you!
Robert's expertise within my case was prevalent from the first time we met. He always put my needs as a client first and was more than flexible in setting up meetings or answering questions that I had about my case. I plan to refer him to all of my friends/family should the opportunity present itself...

Review
After paying him 3,000 to have him represent and expunge my records at alpine courts in New Jersey, he simply disappeared after one hearing. I assumed everything was taken care of until I was arrested in New Jersey after a routine traffic stop. Turns out the case was still open and never taken care o...
He blames me because he did not show up in court, and gets a bench warrant for his arrest issued by a Judge. He gets arrested for the bench warrant, never calls me but calls and hires some other lawyer. He makes it look like the arrest and him contacting me happened very close in time--not the case at all. He also never paid me $3000.00-He paid me approximately $1500.00--I offered him a partial refund and doing an expungement--something his new lawyer did not do. After leaving me several nasty messages about when he would get his check, I told him--you treat me with disrespect, don't cooperate with me, deal with me with a bad attitude and I told him to forget any partial refund and the expungement. So he goes on Avvo and tries to undermine my good reputation which I have earned after 30+years of hard work as a lawyer.
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Pentangelo is an excellent lawyer and his sage advice is helpful to those that seek his assistance."
