Robert

I was referred to Ed Panzica by a friend who raved about him. Ed is known as a criminal lawyer, but I had him handle a delicate family matter. My issue was urgent and time sensitive. He managed to get me a successful result faster than I could have imagine. Ed negotiated very effectively, he acte...d very professionally, he was knowledgeable, and he communicated with both parties in a timely manor. I hold him the highest regard and I Highly recommend him.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
