Posted by Raymond Chan | June 14, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Gun Law

Mr Panetta fights till the end while other lawyer will take the plea and your money!!!!

20 years ago I got assault charges pressed on me by the state of NY. Since it was my first offense , he helped me and closed the case . Due out my life I worked as a stockbroker and made a lot money. I thought I was invincible against the law. I got arrested about 15 times and every single one of th...e cases got thrown out or I took a small fine. He is not a lawyer that just wants your money .He take the case to the end and doesn't just take what the DA has to offer . He actually got me out of a dui case . He asked for a speedy trail and the state couldn't produce my toxicology. So I got off . He's very reasonable compare to other attorneys. He will fight your case till the end and he's batting 1000. with me. Just recently I got caught in a Domestic violence case and the police found a un licensed loaded hand gun at my residence. I was stuck in jail for a couple of days because I couldn't make a phone call . I was let go with a bail because of his help. Now fighting a Gun charge in NY is 2 years plus in prison. I got a call from Mr. Panetta saying the gun was inoperable. He pressed the DA to throw out the case I didn't even have to go to court for it. The domestic violence charge was dropped due to advice from MR Panetta and his vigorous work . I trust him with my life . Like I said he will fight till the end. He wont take what the DA is offering except if the deal is good for the client. I highly recommend him if you want to stay out of jail . There's reason why I have been a client for 20 years . He is honest and reliable, travels from Williston park to most courts in the lower NY area. If you need me to answer any questions. Im a client you can reach me for questions 631374**** -Ray.C

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Censured issued in NY, 2015

updated on 08/30/2017

When an attorney is censured it means he or she did something wrong but may still practice law. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Frank’s comment:

“A Censure is where a lawyer is told "don't do that." In this censure, a lawyer, Lauren Curren lied about her background (she is a defense lawyer, but denied same) and got on Mr. Panetta's Jury. The jury found against the very credible Plaintiff (a defense verdict was the result) Mr. Panetta sent Ms. Curren an email scolding her and telling her he knew she lied. The Appellate Division said: jurors --regardless of whether they are attorneys or not, should not be scolded. That's it.”
