Excellent, Intelligent and very whitty

Mr. Pamintuan was ny lawyer in a Felony case I had against the state of Florida. At the time I was in Drug Rehabilitation trying to get my life together. He took initiative and got me probation on a 10 year charge and because he knew I was treatment always took care of me first in court. He explained... in detail when and what he was doing and is a very swift lawyer. This guy's a genius, serioiusly.

Replied last August 22, 2013

I was able to assist this gentleman continue his rehabilitation and recovery by moving for an alternative sentence. An alternative sentence moves the court to sentence a defendant to rehabilitation rather than punishment. As I remember, this gentleman had been recovering from his addition for years which is not unusual. After hearing testimony from my client and his witnesses the court was convinced that rehabilitation would benefit my client and the community. I have seen this gentleman since the resolution of the case and I am happy to say he is continuing on the road to recovery.

Relationship: Co-worker

"I worked with Ed at the public defender's office for almost four years. I know him to be a great strategist when he works his cases up for trial, and has great command in a courtroom. He is the only lawyer that I know, or even heard of, to have won 10 jury trials in row - an unsurpassable feat only a select few lawyers can say they have accomplished."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have tried several cases against Ed while I was a prosecutor, and he was my opposing Public Defender. Ed is able to draw upon a deep knowledge of the law to build strong defenses for each of his clients. We were all sad to see Florida lose such a hard working and compassionate attorney."

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.
