Posted by Jatinder | March 10, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket
Knowledgeable, Professional, and Honest
We had a ticket given to our son in a complicated road where the speed went from 50->35->25->35->50 within a short distance and obviously not fair. So if you are driving 50 MPH and it becomes 25 MPS, oops you are at fault now. Robert was very helpful in getting the police videos, analyzing them, ...

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.

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...
