Kristen is awesome

Kristen is a great person and an extremely good attorney. I was a first time offender in Pinellas county Drug Court. I couldn't have done it without her legal advice and her personal guidance. Thank you Kristen

Excellent Representation

Kristen has assisted me on several occasions. She is professional, knowledgeable and works hard for her clients. I have referred her to friends and colleagues. Everyone always thanks me for the referral after working with her. She is skilled and respected in her profession.

The best crimal attorney to ever represent me.

Mrs. Panico is the best attorney to ever represent me in a criminal case( or any other kind of case for that matter). I've hired her on two seperate occassions,and each time I was thoroughly impressed by Mrs. Panico's abilities. Will I recommend her? I already have countless times! She's fast,smart,k...nowledgeable about different types of laws,honest,and affordable. She also knows her way around the court house- she knows the state attorneys and judges-which is priceless in criminal defense cases. My overall experience with this attorney was a great one. I can't say that about many others,and I've seen plenty! Mrs. Panico is my Knight in Shining Amor,because she always saves me lol..

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. As a prosecutor, I often found myself on the other side of the table from Kristen Panico. She always came to court with a charming smile on her face and I saw how she could talk prosecutors and judges into favorable dispositions for her clients. She has always been a pleasure to work with and she fights hard for her clients. Anyone who hires Kristen will not be disappointed."

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
