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...

Highly recommended
Mr. Pentangelo has been a lawyer for my family for years. He has solved and dimmed the consequnences to every traffic violation and arrest in my family. I've never once had an issue with his services and can't imagine that I ever will. I definitely would recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Great Results, Even Better Man!
I must say, I was terrified when I was arrested in Somerset NJ. I contacted Mr Pentangelo, after speaking with him I knew I was in good hands. Not only was my cased dropped, he was able to get my case sealed immediately. He fought for me against the prosecutor and put gave 110% to my case, making sur...

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.

Great Results
I had Mr. Pentangelo represent me on a DUI case which other lawyers wanted 2x and 3x what he charged me; after a trial I was found not guilty. He was totally a great guy and a great lawyer.
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Pentangelo is an excellent lawyer and his sage advice is helpful to those that seek his assistance."
