Robert P. Pentangelo

Read all of the reviews on google. May be good for very simple cases but this man is all around just confused and a bit unprofessional. Fails to communicate and will have you stressing more than not having a lawyer. Told him I wanted an itemized bill of what was done on his part and he blocked me. In... the process of reporting to the bar and with all the poor reviews. Seems it won’t be hard to see that this man shouldn’t be in practice anymore. Please don’t waste your time

I hired Mr. Pentangelo for a criminal matter. He seemed to have a grasp of the law and the courts. The problem with him for me is that he doesn't do anything he is supposed to do in preparation. I would Not recommend him and in fact, I think it is hard to do worse. I interviewed quite a few attorney...s and frankly there were not many that I was impressed with. Mr. Pentangelo came in with a lower price but "you get what you pay for" in this instance was so true. I think he thinks he can do the job without preparation and when he loses he blames it on anything but him, and when he wins, he thinks it's because of his brilliance. I won my case despite that he could have blown it six ways from Sunday as the expression goes. I think he is incapable of bothering to be a decent attorney. The negative comments on these pages have the common theme that I agree with--no prep, ignores deadlines, and doesn't do the job. Notice no one appears to think he can't do the job, rather that he doesn't bother. If you have a strong case, you might win with him as your lawyer if he doesn't do too much to blow it. If your case is weak, God help you because as I see it, his work ethic is so poor that anything can go wrong. I think he could do the job if he bothered but think he is incapable for whatever reason. If you hire him, follow him every step of the way and make sure he is up to date and prepared. He's arrogant and defensive and at times will not even truly answer when you contact him giving only vague responses. If you hire him, I recommend you do not let down your guard for a moment. Keep an email record of anything you ask him, and all of his replies and tip him off to the fact that your emails are a record. Try to find a lawyer that is more responsible. You have enough to worry about when facing a judge, watching your attorney shouldn't have to be a top priority.

I've worked with Bob Pantenglo years ago, I even referred colleagues to him. 3 week ago I reached out to him regarding a letter, instantly he told me to send $250, he told me the letter will be done in 3days...it's been 3weeks. Bob asked to be involved sexually, he asked about single friends, to this... day all I've gotten are excuses and no letter..I'm very disappointed and very frustrated.

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.

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
