Robert P. Pentangelo

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.

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.

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.

Robert is very high Intelligent Lawyer! He Knows THE laws and strategy. I would HIGHly recommend him . Just read his eval on his website of why Public Pretenders are awful and middle row law is a joke. Many lawyers give you a lot of hot air,, Robert is a straight shooter. You get what you pay f...or! ?! Yes, so hire the best! You will be amazed at the difference.. Don't leave your life to chance or in the hands of the courts or State! You Wont be Sorry!

Robert's expertise within my case was prevalent from the first time we met. He always put my needs as a client first and was more than flexible in setting up meetings or answering questions that I had about my case. I plan to refer him to all of my friends/family should the opportunity present itself.... Thank you for all of your hard work!
