Awesome, easy going lawyer

I got hit with 6 tickets for suspended plates right before my birthday as I was heading out to NYC. In my mind, I thought "This has got to be more than $1500 in tickets!" Anyway, fast forward to my court date, Mr. Panetta went above and beyong and got not one, two or three but ALL of my charges dismi...ssed!! Granted, he only charged me his minimum fee and here I thought I just wasted all my money, but that was not the case at all! I'd recommend Mr. Panetta and his firm any time, any day. Just like he said, "Im an attorney for life" and he meant it. 17 years in business and I hope for another 17 more! Thanks again.

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.”
