I hired Pentangle for my criminal case and received the ultimate justice. He is the perfect criminal attorney if you're involved with organized crime in the US..........................................

Terrible. Believe all the reviews. Highly unprofessional and blocked me when I asked for an itemized bill. He’s a waste of time and poor at communicating. In the process of reporting him. Just all around horrible.

Don’t ever waste your money on this lawyer. As soon as you give him the money to start your case, he disappears and doesn’t follow up with the court staff. He always says he is busy with other cases and keeps rescheduling court dates. His behavior is very unprofessional; he even insulted me over the phone because I had to constantly remind him to contact the court or send the motions in my family and criminal cases. Everyone should file ethics complaints against this lawyer and submit an attorney fee arbitration request to get their money back. I did both, and my new lawyer will sue him for malpractice.

This guy is the epitome of a low-end defense attorney. Like the other reviewers said, he takes your money and then does nothing to earn it. He makes promises and then misses deadlines. He doesn’t know when correct court dates are. He is a liar, and cannot be trusted. Even worse, after I fired him, he sent me a string of text messages with ad hominem personal insults, and cursing at me. Don’t make the same mistake that I did by hiring this guy.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
