Sad, wishful that he gets the help he desperately needs. Debbie Marek, NJ
I write this with sadness because he was not like this when I first met him., When I first met him and as time went on, I more than respected him. I really did. And, he won my case. As time went on I had given a large sum of money (COVID TIME) to get a Goverors pardon and he kept saying we should wai...

Dwi DEFENCE
The most rude unprofessional attorney !!! STEALS YOUR MONEY AND RUNS !!!! STAY FAR AWAY !!! After having given him $700 to retain services weeks and months passed with no updates answers or anything to show for the $700 given. Avoids your calls and tells you he will call back but never once did . ...
The comments here by "Tony" are almost all as false as the alias he hides behind here. I have to be careful since I do not want to go beyond the waiver of the attorney client privilege done by Tony here. This goes back some time when my job was to review a case (not where I was the attorney) long closed where there was a plea deal that "Tony" was under a long suspension for. After reviewing the file including the transcript of the plea and finding out that the officers were still on staff with the police department the result was even if a motion was successful, Tony was facing retrial on all charges and additional fines and other penalties. Things were left there and fee earned. A change in the DUI law raised some very outside chance of a resentencing but a motion would have been necessary and some original argumentation by me since there were no precedents yet for the relief to be sought from the court. So $500 more was requested since I had fulfilled by original obligation. Since "Tony" started being obnoxious as he is here I made it simple: pay me or find another attorney and I hung up the phone. Now you know the rest of the story. Robert Pentangelo, Esq.

Worse than a high pressure car salesman
Strings you along for several days and then wants a huge retainer $10k, that the average person doesn't just have sitting in their bank. If you don't have it, forget this guy..he will waste your time. Find someone that cares about your case, not just your bank account!
Are you the woman with the Facebook case?
