Juvenile/Criminal

Two separate lawyers recommended Mr. Pentell to us. Mr. Pentell is an excellent lawyer. He is very knowledgeable in law and a great communicator. He is professional, flexible, smart, honest, always going forward with the truth, ethical and fights hard for his clients. Mr. Pentell met us at ou...r home, listened to our case, gave us his professional opinion and answered all our questions. We hired Mr. Pentell for our son’s case and he was always in communication with us. We never had to worry about what was next with the case. Mr. Pentell always returned our phone calls and answered many questions. He cares about the client as a person. He goes above and beyond for the clients future. Mr. Pentell is well respected within the Fresno Juvenile courthouse. His reputation for professionalism, hard work, being the best and the support his gives to his clients was the main reason he was recommended to us. From our observations he is VERY respected by other lawyers, judges and court staff. Mr. Pentell still continues to be in contact with us for advice and legal services. We HIGHLY recommend this lawyer to anyone in need of a lawyer. He is the BEST!

It's more than just a job for Eric Pentell!

Eric first helped me when I was 14 years old in Madera, CA, and got in trouble with graffiti, and now, 8 years later he's helping me get my juvenile records and then sealing them up, he's a really nice guy always giving you the best advice he can, he really wants whats best for me.

Great service

I am very satisfied with the service I received from Mr.Pentell. He went in and fought for my son, avoiding my son from going into a yearlong program. He answered all my concerns in a timely manner. I feel he went over and beyond to ensure my sons court ruling.

Great attorney

I'm a working professional and expect the best (esp. when I'm paying for it). Eric is professional, responsible, honest (even when it's hard to hear), and ethical. It was a difficult time for my family when our teenage son got mixed up in legal troubles, but he helped us through it. I will always r...ecommend him! I don't know what that other reviewer problem was.... he kept me (appropriately) updated every step of the way and was looking out for our son's best interest. Plus he's well known to be one of the best attorneys around. Just ask and this will be confirmed. From what I could tell, he seems well respected by court staff as well (judges, probabtion officers, court officers, court clerks, etc). When seeking an attorney, he's got the qualities I would think one would want and expect.
