This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Amazing work

Our marketing agency has worked with Mr. Pimentel for almost three years and our experience with him has been consistently satisfying. He has been our attorney since we started our boutique marketing agency in Boca Raton back in 2014. He has addressed all our contract law and business litigation need...s. Our agency has continuously depended on his extensive experience and knowledge in business law when dealing with contracts, contract negotiations and commercial transactions. Mr. Pimentel is an amazing attorney and I would especially recommend him to those managing start-up companies, small businesses, and even large companies in South Florida.

Wonderful attorney in every regard.

I have worked with Robin since meeting him almost 2 years ago, on a consistent basis. He first represented me in a criminal defense case, and was successful. In that matter, he was also very respectful, took a great deal of time to calm my fears and explain everything to me in detail, and did not eve...n give me the opportunity to feel embarrassed about the situation I was in. As other reviewers have mentioned, Mr. Pimentel is compassionate to his clients, but also speaks plainly and to the point. Even if he has to repeat himself many times before he is understood by a panicked client. Since the successful resolution of my criminal matter, I have worked with Mr. Pimentel on various issues, everything from estate planning to contract issues to family matters. He is extremely knowledgeable in each of the fields he practices, extraordinarily hard-working, and very conscientious. And I would add, again, as others have noted, that he truly shows care to his clients, and has a great deal of integrity. He is completely trustworthy, will fight and work hard for his client, and will do so with a clear conscience and good heart. He will also be completely straight with you about what the expected outcome of the case may be, even if it is not what you want to hear. He does not waste anyone's time on frivolous matters. Beyond all that, he even managed to make me laugh at some of the darkest moments in my life. I would recommend him as well as the other two attorneys in his practice to anyone at any time - when I could only see things grimly. They at times work collaboratively, even to do something as simple to walk a frightened client into a courtroom. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Though I am mildly worried about doing so, because I don't want him to get so busy that he doesn't have time for my little life :). Intelligent, thoughtful, dedicated, diplomatic, and honest - everything one could hope for in an attorney.

Highly Recommend

There isn't a more delicate situation than one that involves ones child. When I came to Robin I was hoping that I could somehow resolve just that kind of issue. I had already gone to another Attorney and had little faith of anyone being able to fix my situation. I was impressed not just of the imm...ediate attention that Robin gave my case; but, how he handled my case with heart. He didn't treat my case as just a legal issue. He reached out and took the time to tap into the human aspect of the parties. He resolved my issue, and I will forever be grateful that his professionalism saved my child from having to be caught in this terrible situation any longer. I can't repay that.

Family Matter

I have had the pleasure of referring various clients to Pimentel & Castillo for assistance with Criminal, Family and Civil matters. The response from each of those clients has been how professional, honest and hard working both these attorneys are and how satisfied they are with the service that was... provided or is being provided. Recently, I turned to Robin Pimentel regarding a personal Family matter that had gone on for over a year. I had little hope. In one week, Robin professionally, ethically, and successfully resolved my case. I highly recommend them!
