Reviews

Hello,my name is Rick and my wifes name is Julie I have had Mr.panico represented me for over 25 years through divorce and child custody and other issues.Just recently he represented me and my wife on the custody of her teenager he always returned my calls and i blew his phone up asking him questions.He was always there for us.This man knows the system he details every bill very honest in a profession that dont have the best reputation.My wife and i are very satisfied with his services and highly recommend his law firm.
Paul recently handled my case on helping me get custody of my two kids. Paul was a lot of help always available to talk or help even in emergency situations. Always in the best interest of my kids even. I literally had custody of my kids within the month of Paul's help. I would like to think my case ended quicker then what I've heard of many other people as went through. Mine was all over in under a year!!nnI'm over all pleased with Paul's services. I have and will continue to refer Paul to my friends or family. Paul's 20 some years experience definitely pays off when in much need situations!!
When my wife of the time abruptly left me it truly tested my sense of trust. At 1st I thought our mediation was successful, having the court knock on my door told me that honeymoon was over. I then had to find an attorney myself. I interviewed many, and all were very professional, however Paul struck me as actually humanly concerned with my case. He took a long time for the 1st visit (at least an hour if not more) to talk me through the process and as I remember with no obligation to continue on or pay for this time. I found him wise and confident but without the hard edge I was expecting. He made the point that this will be over at some point and IF we can find a fair solution, all will win, most importantly our shared daughter. I really did not think he was going to be my attack dog to destroy my X nor was he interested in this role. Despite the temptation for the hurt I felt to want someone that would "go after my X" I did sense the wisdom of his views. Now my wife hired exactly the opposite, yep she had the attack dog. I remember our 1st meeting among us all, how Paul brought the opposing consul to meet me, and how he gave me the limp fish handshake and would not look m in the eyes. Paul was being magnanimous. Opposing consul was being as you would expect. He took the opposing consuls attacks with humor, dismissed them quietly and expertly with past cases he knew of and kept me (a very Irish guy) from losing my cool as I was being so insulted by the oppositions condescending and rude behavior. Paul earned my trust over time, I never felt concerned for what the end result would be. In our final meeting we had reach what appeared to be an unsolvable impasse and as everyone else seemed ready to dig in and fight to the death, it was Paul's cool nature that kept alive the communication until there was a solution that arose from the open mindedness he gifted us all, he TRULY saved this from getting ugly and xbd hour later our case was settled. A week later I felt good, I had no "blood on my hands" nor did I lose anything that was not affordable in the realm of mutual and reasonable compromise and most of all I ended up with shared parenting which of all things was my most important goal. Now 2 weeks on I feel even better about the end result. If I can think of a character that best describes Paul is Columbo, that old detective on TV that because of his gentle nature many would underestimate. He did not help me win my case, he help my X and I win our daughter's future In the best win win for all and by doing so made me the better man!
Paul Panico is a brutally terrible lawyer who failed to secure a simple visitation agreement for me in FIVE YEARS. He never sent even the most basic documentation to me regarding my case, and was insensitive enough to often cut our calls short because he had to "pick up (his) kids from hockey practice." Hey, genius, you're supposedly representing me in a child-visitation dispute. Try to use a little sense. I'm absolutely shocked that other reviewers here claim to have had good experiences with him, and I highly suspect that sock-puppetry is afoot. If Paul is reading this right now, I know for a fact that he's looking up what that terms means. Stay away from this terrible and lazy lawyer or regret it forever. You've been warned.
Paul represented me in a child custody case. He is attentive, compassionate, forthright and professional. The only promise Paul made to me was that he would represent me to the best of his abilities. He delivered on his promise and met my expectations. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a 1st Class Family Law Attorney.
