Hands down best attorney! Please read!

I can’t say enough about Sorin. Amazing at his job, comfortable to talk to, he comforts you in knowing everything is going to be alright, fights very hard for you and his case, always answer emails and calls you back the same day…he’s just incredible at his job! Every time he object on my case the ju...dge sided with him. Best experience with a trial lawyer I’ve ever had and trust me I’ve had several! No matter what county I’m in “if” I had any more problems by far I’d call him again,again! You’re truly the best Sorin Panaite! Great experience but I hope I never have to call you useless it’s to see how you’re doing. Thank you again!

A court appointed attorney who cares.

Mr. Panainte immediately spoke to me and made me feel like I mattered. I felt like he was truly there to defend me. He was informed and knew specifics about my case. He gave me options and had a course of action. He was awesome and I felt like he really looked into the facts. I felt he gave me honest... advice. I took his advice and got the best outcome I could ask for.

Amazing business

Attorney Sorin showed up to a couple of my court dates and got straight to business, helping me with what I needed and was very honest. He is truly there for his people. He helped me with many things in my case. Even waited around after the court hearing was done to go above and beyond to make sure I.../ his client was satisfied with his service and waited outside a room I couldn't go to get the other person served. He had it in his heart to wait it out and get what I had asked done, which I greatly appreciate. He makes it seem like it's not just a business and he wants what is right done even if it takes more time or effort on his part! I appreciate Attorney Sorin for every little thing he did to help me out!

Avvo Rating

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.
