James Spero Panagis Jr.'s Lawyer Endorsements
"In my years of practicing law, I have seen Mr. Panagis in many roles. We have worked together at the Commonwealth Attorney's Office, we have tried juries together as co-counsel; we then have sparred as opposing counsel when I transitioned to criminal defense; then, Mr. Panagis made the noble decision to again join us as a criminal defense attorney and civil litigator. Mr. Panagis is an incredible courtroom advocate and commands attention when needed. He is clearly determined to accomplish his client's goals and objectives. And, he is always well prepared and has an infallible ability to recall and utilize nuances of law that many attorneys have never heard of. Choosing Mr. Panagis as an attorney should be the easiest decision when looking for counsel."
"James is an incredibly intelligent attorney who understands the nuances of criminal law, but then is also a natural and talented trial attorney in the courtroom. He has a tremendous amount of courtroom and trial experience from his years as a prosecutor. He is also personable, and can easily explain the system and legal choices to those who may not be familiar. Any client would be well served with James."
