Fantastic Lawyer

Wonderful, honest, professional attorney who knows the law inside and out and is great at what he does. Very dependable, communicative, and responded to any questions asked in a swift manner. Will definitely call on him again if I need legal services in the future.

Power Attorney Making Power Moves In South Florida

in the last week I was recently arrested on a case dating back more than 12 years ago. I hired an attorney to represent me and was assured that the case was dissolved. After hurricane Irma I came to Florida to work and was pulled over and discovered I had a warrant dating back to 2005. I was held on... a no bond hold and extradited to Vero Beach. I hired Mike Panella to represent me and within days I was granted bail and released from jail just days before Christmas. My attorney was on the case like nothing I have ever seen before. He remained in constant contact with me and strategized with me to come up with the best case senerio for my specific charges. His understanding of criminal law is second to no one. He not only gave me real advise and an understanding how serious my charges were and what the outcome could be. He never gave me false hope or over promised on what he could deliver. He is a very serious and motivated attorney with a specific skill set that can win cases and keep your criminal record clean. My outcome was case dismissed. I can’t explain how happy I am and excited to not have those charges staining my future but I truelly feel like every dollar I spent was more than worth it and I hit the five star treatment from a real power attorney. Mike Panella is one of the best lawyers in South Florida and believe me when I say this you need this man to represent you if you want a real fighting chance at dismissing your case or being found not guilty. Even the judge complimented him and his knowledge of the law and judicial system and told him he hopes to see him in his court room again soon!!! Panella Law Firm is definitely going to be a force to be recogned with and Mike will defenitley be winning cases all over south Florida for a very long time.

Integrity. Kindness. Involved.

Mike has shown me over and over again through the past 11 years that he deserves these adjectives to describe his personality. This may be an unusual review, I never knew him as a lawyer, but I'm addressing his merits as a person back before his career in law and my career in branding. I assure y...ou, people like Mike don't come along often, you can sense it when you meet them, and full heartedly believe that if you put your trust in him you will be making the right choice.

Mike was extremely dependable all the way to the last minute and I have never seen someone who’s so dedicated to there profession ...and at the same time so caring for those he represents. Do you want someone who will represent you with excellence and compassion, I highly recommend Mike Penella’s Law Firm. Truly a Blessing in Orange County. You will not regret it.
