Super Job Handling Several Cases

Robert has handled several legal matters for my family and clients including assault charges, terroristic threats, trespassing, and larceny. He is well known and respected by other attorneys and Judges in Bergen and Hudson Counties. This helped quite a bit in that he was able to get charges reduced... or thrown out. I definitely recommend him. He is kind, caring, and tenacious and he doesn't try to overcharge for his services.

Family Attorney

Mr. Pentangelo represented me in a case where my car was totalled. Going up against an Insurance Company and an individual with Political ties, the out come was not what we wanted. No fault to Mr. Pentangelo, he was there to help guide me through he Court System and at least give me a voice to ...try to re-cope my damages. I was happy to hire Mr. Pentangelo who was sypathethic to my needs. A Lawyer with reasonable rates not looking to take advantage of my situation. He made me feel I was not just another case but family. Who doesn't want a Family Attorney looking out for your best interest?

Excellent Attorney.

Mr. Pentangelo is an amazing attorney!! I was charged with simple assault in Edgewater NJ and I hired Mr. Pentangelo to represent me in court. He was able to have all my charges dismissed. I was very happy with the outcome, I would hire Mr. Pentangelo yo represent me in any situation.

Would recommend to anyone

Mr. Pentangelo represented me recently on a dwi case and to say I was extremely impressed is an understatement. While offering a great price compared to others, Mr. Pentangelo was a fantastic lawyer and one I'd recommend to anyone I know. He took great care of me and made me feel at ease and confiden...t throughout the process. I am extremely thankful and grateful for the Mr. Pentangelo's services and anyone being represented by him in the future will definitely feel the same.

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...f. After a weekend in jail, I contacted him to discuss what had happened. He apologized, then notified he would return me half the amount as consolation in addition he would expunge my records. He calls me a few hours later and notifies me he would be expunging my records, as it would cost him too much to do so( mind you he already took $3000 of my money for one hearing). After turning nasty and telling me " do you want your money or not?" I agreed to his terms. He informed me it would take up to 30 days for the check to arrive. It has now been over three months with no check. I tried on numerous occasions to contact him to no avail. No return calls, nothing after leaving him numerous voice mails. If I had the time and resources, I would try and get my money back, but knowing the cost and time it would take, I felt this is the only way to get his name out there. What a useless person and even worse an attorney.

Replied last July 31, 2017

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.
