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.

Great attorney and great listener

Mr. Pentangelo has represented me since 2020 for a traffic stop that had several different issues. I was scared, embarrassed and most of all afraid of losing my license and my ability to provide for my family. I found Mr. Pentangelo’s information and we met and I hired him for his honestly, his rep...utation and his courage. Did he tell me what I wanted to hear? No, but he represented me restlessly before Covid, during Covid, got several charges dropped, found the right experts to speak on my behalf and found a solution for me. It was a long and difficult case but I am happy with the outcome. If you need a lawyer who is a pit bull and want the best defense, Mr. Pentangelo is your man.

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, ...and presenting us with the options that we had. He laid down three options of which we were to choose one. He did suggest an option and that is what we took in the end. But the important thing was that we felt involved in the decision and were consulted before the verdict was given to us. I had inquired with many attorneys and almost everyone told me that I had no option but to plead guilty and settle. Robert was the only attorney who said in his first response that we had a strong case and should not settle and plead guilty without a discovery. And I asked more than 10 lawyers. Go figure that out. Robert is honest, responds back to inquiries, and works for his clients best interest. I would rehire him for any future issues within a heartbeat. Thank you Robert. You were awesome and we appreciate all the help you gave us.

SIMPLY STATED: HE IS THE BEST ATTORNEY BY FAR

I reached out to Mr. Pentangelo in despair and a feeling of defeat. I was issued a DWI in a nearby town of the New Brunswick area (not in New Brunswick). Anyway, from beginning to end, Mr. Pentangelo was cautious (as one would need to be in a very small, tight knit town. Plus, I has several EXTRAORDI...NARY circumstances involving my case). Bottom line is...HE WON MY CASE. He is by far the most meticulous, strategic thinking attorney I know. And, if anyone has ever dealt with attorney’s (which I have dealt with them in “needed” situations, as well as having several friends in the field of practice), one would know that Mr. Pentangelo is not only Professional in every sense of the word, Caring, Pleasant-Mannered, Thinks strategically/Meticulously.....but, Mr. Pentangelo is a fighter. HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU TO THE VERY END. He leaves no stone unturned. He will respect your wishes (of course) if you do not agree with a certain tactic or if you choose to allow your case to go only so far. But, he will encourage and direct you the best way. And, bare in mind, he will fight for you to the end ...BUT, he will he right there with you 100%. He may leave no stone unturned, but he also doesn’t leave his clients feeling emotionally abandoned. This is an important aspect when choosing an attorney. With him, you never have to wonder about ANYTHING. HE HAS IT ALL UNDER CONTROL, and assured you of this, as well as informs you if anything is not going in the direction he had hoped for. He does all this knowing it may be more work on his part....but he’s always ready to “push back”. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. PENTANGELO, ESQ. Don’t be foolish, hire the BEST. And, that he is!!!! Debbie
