I hired Edward Martin Panzica because I had two charges, one was a traffic moving violation and the other a Criminal Charge for leaving the scene of accident. I was very satisfied in Mr. Panzica attention to the case and it was resolved in an efficient and professional manner. I would highly recommend his services.

He was reassuring and handled my case well. He promptly replied to me and addressed issues. He was able to get a court date rescheduled for me within a couple days of notice and this was over a holiday weekend...All good.

I hired Mr. Edward M. Panzica for 2 misdemeanors. I am extremely satisfied with his work ethic, as well as, the results of the case. I would recommend him not only for the experience, but for the results. I recently hired him again for a custody case. I am truly blessed to say that Mr. Edward M. Panzica is my Attorney at Law.

Mr. Panzica is very knowledgeable with the laws and statutes. He did everything within his power to obtain custody of my grandson, that had been awarded to the state of Florida. I would recommend his services to anyone. Thank you, Mr Panzica for bringing my family together again. God bless!

I hired Mr. Panzica to handle two cases for my daughter, He was able to get one dismissed and the other reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor, and was able to keep everything off her record. I was particularly impressed with the relationship he had with the district attorneys and the judges, who definitely seemed to respect him. Have recommended him to a friend and she liked him as well. Would definitely hire him again.

I was referred to Ed Panzica by a friend who raved about him. Ed is known as a criminal lawyer, but I had him handle a delicate family matter. My issue was urgent and time sensitive. He managed to get me a successful result faster than I could have imagine. Ed negotiated very effectively, he acted very professionally, he was knowledgeable, and he communicated with both parties in a timely manor. I hold him the highest regard and I Highly recommend him.

I hired Mr. Panzica to represent me for felony DUI in Pinellas County. He was able to get the case reduced to a reckless driving. Shortly after that, I got another DUI in Pinellas County. They wanted jail time. We went to trial and the jury found me not guilty in just under 10 minutes. He was attentive and responsive, and definitely knows his way around the courtroom.

I first talked to Edward Panzica when I was arrested for DUI, which was a questionable arrest. Talking to Mr. Panzica at first time he seemed experienced. Little did I know this is not true , he is mostly a family law lawyer. -Mr. Panzica directed me to a DUI school, even though I wanted a hearing to challenge the DMV suspension. I asked numerous times and he left me a nasty voicemail just saying go to the DUI school. Little did I know the DUI school controls your life and holds your drivers license hostage until you jump through hoops , shell out huge cash , and concede to being an alcohol abuser , even if you are not. -I ultimately fired him because he has no knowledge of how anything works, has never defended someone at a DMV hearing and has never filed a writ of certiorari. - He is a terrible DUI lawyer, a basic records search shows he has little to no success ever defending DUI charges. His lack of help during the initial process has wrecked my life. I am still dealing with DMV issues and it has been well over a year. Everything Mr. Panzica told me about the process is completely false. If he had only helped me when I asked on numerous occasions this would have turned out differently.
