**Jim Petrangelo was referred to me**
After scheduling a consultation to meet with Jim Petrangelo to wrap up a local matter that I had ongoing with another attorney I was going to terminate services with for lack of communication, Jim told me to stick with my non-local attorney. I had questions for my attorney and was not receiving answers (which explains seeking another local attorney). I was half way through the ordeal and just needed it completed quickly. He summed up and said, "it's been about an hour, so I will charge you $100. Will that be cash, charge or check?" I was surprised he did not want to wrap up the case and then even more surprised he charged me for the consultation without informing me he charged for consultations (like other local attorneys have), which would not have been a deal breaker anyway. I would not come back here because I was coming to give him business. Interesting meeting... I am not sure why he had no interest in helping. That was my experience..

Definitely a caring Attorney that seems to get the job done. Has helped several friends.

Five Stars all the way! Jim was professional, always on time and never sugar coated anything. He won every argument in the court house and got me everything I wanted in my divorce. I highly recommend Jim, a lawyer who actually cares about his clients!
