He are me look bad in court

He had almost 6 months to obtain video and he subpoena the last week of December when we had court in about a week . He fail to work in my case , do follow ups with the courts and present evidence as he promised. I always called him and he was always too busy to talk about my case.He promised me to... get the video. He did not put any effort into my case or into the cross examination was presented poorly . We lost the case to someone that wasn’t representative with NO Attorney and NO Law Degree .I lost due to him not providing evidence as promised when I hired him .DO NoT Hired him. He will make you look bad in court !! He will take your money and run.

The useless and boor

For those who are interested, this man is a jerk and poorly educated. For nothing in the world do you invest money in this man? On December 19, I presented my case to him which he took and he only asked me about money. I paid him $500 to represent me in a response to the court. I called him and tex...ted him every day and he didn't answer anything, obviously, he already had the money in his hands . The useless and boor a called me on the last day, January 10, 24 at 8; 30 in the morning to tell me that he had to give him 250 more dollars to send a letter. I called the other party's attorney and found that this guy hadn't even let them know that he was representing me. After this, I complained to him and he became arrogant and threatened me. Avoid wasting money and time on this flake and invest it in someone more professional.

Not recommended

I hired this attorney. You can compile the negative reviews in Google and Avvo regarding money, and basically that is what happened to me. I hope that enough reviews will expose the harm this individual can cause to a person's case and financial position.

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...t until election and someone who is more gun friendly. This made sense, so I agreed. As time went on,, the same Governor won. i decided to “make a move” rather than sit stagnant. I even suggested that we go for an expungement (even though it was premature). Well, I didn’t get my $7,500 back and he never did any work for me. He did agree to pay $500 weekly. I’m lucky if he’ll give $100…and that only if I pull teeth. He pai $2,300 to date and informed me that he only owed me $2,200… FOR WHAT?!? I even got the pardon application (early on, when we were going to go that route). I requested and paid several hundred dollars to get court transcripts. Is he charging $2,800 for putting the court transcript in the shelf. Every time I called and asked him if he looked at it, he hasn’t had the chance. Which, okay, this can happen. People get busy. But what am I paying $2,800 for? When I say I write this with sincere sadness, I mean that 100%. I liked Bob and I saw him like a friend. I never expected him to do this to me to this day. To this day, I have to call and practically beg him for $100. $100 of my money. I am hurt, sad, angry, all of the above. He claims he doesn’t have the money. That’s his business. I don’t know the background or the story or what not, so I’m not going to pretend to know . I can speculate, but the truth is, I don’t know. But that doesn’t change the fact that he owes me $5000. He won a case for me in my hometown and he charged me an extremely reasonable rate. He probably under charged me. I get that. So is this my punishment for being under charged for him representing me in the DWI case. Which, the DWI was because I was tired, driving while impaired, if you’re tired they consider that impaired. And he won the case. But I shouldn’t have to pay now for the fact that he charged such minimal amount. I really don’t know what to do and how to get my money back, if I can go to small claims court, will they take it. Any advice. Don’t say talk to him. Because he’s made it clear in a very arrogant way, that I am not getting my money. Please, I need help and advice

Extremely helpful

Mr. Pentangelo was so helpful in answering my questions about my case here in Florida. I’m so glad I found this avvo website and that he was able to guide me in the right steps! If you’re contemplating on talking to him, do it. He was very straightforward, patient & right to the point. All while maki...ng me feel secure.
