Ego Maniac!! Loves to talk about himself ,

Went to Mr. PANERO’s office to consult about a divorce, the opposing attorney was well known to him and he didn’t want to take my case, i had at that point been through 2 attorneys by that point because they couldn’t handle the antics of the opposing attorney in the court room. His advice was to just... give in and not go to trial with child custody involved, and a dead beat dad scenario . I did not take his advice and gladly so, for if i did I would have lost completely and perhaps custody too. Peter PANERO has been around for decades and is quite comfortable $$$ he don’t care for his once razor sharp craft and command of a court room, he is extremely condescending and pretentious in manner and anyone can see this by just meeting him. We sat with him for an hour and a half, he spoke of himself for just about over an hour alone. By the time we were done i needed A Bayer aspirin from hearing all the bragger conversation out of his mouth, at the end of all his BS, he said he has no interest in the case. He was scared off by Jill Stone, clearly as he heard her name his demeanor changed!! Again, his belly is full and he only takes easy mark cases and ones that have desperate clients which he fears them into spending vast amounts of money!!

The man you want on your side

If you want a lawyer to just tell you what you want to hear, don't go to Peter Panaro. He will tell you the truth about what he can and can't do with your case, which is rare in a profession that seems to be more interested in the $ than anything. He won't waste your time or money. If you are de...aling with a high conflict divorce, he will give you the confidence that you need to survive emotionally, because you know you're in good hands. He's no nonsense, tough, smart and knows the law better than the others. I highly recommend.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Peter for a number of years as both a colleague as well as opposing counsel on a number of cases. Not only is Peter an excellent attorney, he is also a gentleman and a true professional. He is extremely knowledgeable and he's always prepared . While Peter takes a reasonable and pragmatic approach when he handles a case, he is nonetheless willing and able to vigorously litigate a matter on behalf of a client whenever it is necessary. I endorse this lawyer."
