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 . ...When I finally got him on the phone , He demanded $500 more dollars , and said “pay me or find another attorney “ and hung up the phone! The most rude unprofessional attorney that strings you along to just get more money out of you. STEALS YOUR MONEY AND RUNS !!!! STAY FAR AWAY

Replied last March 06, 2021

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.

Takes care of matters professionally

I was given a moving violation for staying in the left lane for longer than a quarter mile on a two lane road. After getting no where with municipal courts even answer a message, which I left over 10 calls and called the dispatch to see what I can possibly do since the ticket was completely blank. I ...had no idea when court was. After hiring Mr. Pentangelo matters where taken care of with no points and a small fine in a professional manner. I would recommend him.

Honest, Knowledgeable & Compassionate

I originally found Mr. Pentangelo on Avvo.com after he responded to my legal question. Upon reading the other reviews about him, I immediately reached out to see if he could represent me. What all the positive reviews say are absolutely true!! Not only is he a fantastic, knowledgeable attorney b...ut on a personal level, he showed real compassion for me and my situation. His fee was more than fair, he was 100% honest on the possible outcomes of my situation and then he worked tirelessly and achieved the best outcome I could have hoped for. Throughout my case, he was easily accessible, reliable and explained everything thoroughly. Even after my case ended, he reached out to see how I was doing. I would absolutely recommend him to friends and family.

A Perfectly Pleasant & Gratifying Experience

A sharp, seasoned strategist with a superb and richly deserved reputation among clients as well as attorneys across fields. (Came highly recommended by a top-notch law firm practicing an area of law other than what we needed.) Requiring an attorney often comes hand in hand with anxiety and trepidati...on but our fears were quickly dispelled with our first contact. He has mastered striking that delicate balance between compassion and professionalism. Very direct, realistic and reasonable, with a witty sense of humor. Kept us informed, acted quickly upon new information when it became available and provided options for us to proceed. Advised us well. It is a true comfort knowing we have such an exceptional attorney available to us for our possible future needs.
