Imagine being woke up @ 6am by a team of trigger-happy County Sheriffs and U.S. Marshals banging the butts of their guns on your door. Once you open the door, there are 8 assault rifles pointing at your chest. You’re placed into handcuffs and are now being charged with heinous crimes that carry a potential LIFE sentence. It’s a nightmare situation for most people, especially for those who aren’t expecting it. Life changes in an instant. Not just for you, but for those around you too. This is not my first rodeo with the police – I do as they say, and I do so with my mouth shut after politely invoking my right to remain silent. In my opinion The Panella Law Firm in Orlando, Florida, is an upper-tier legal firm that provides exceptional legal representation to clients in need. Led by Michael Panella the firm is known for its commitment to excellence and dedication to defending the innocent. Mike Panella is an amazing attorney with extensive experience in the legal field. Mike has a unique perspective the legal system and how to develop amazingly effective strategies. Mike provided me with the best legal representation and always went above and beyond to ensure my success. His polite but aggressive approach in the courtroom and unwavering commitment to justice make him a formidable opponent. Something that I didn’t realize until the 2nd to last court appearance was that Mike didn’t sit on the side with the other “defense” attorneys – he sidled up to the prosecutor and chatted him up. Never noticed any other attorneys doing that. He’s relentless and refuses to accept NO as an answer. My case, which was in Fort Pierce, Florida, is about 100 miles away from their offices. Mike and Huda’s dedication was evident from the beginning. Despite the distance from Orlando, they worked tirelessly to provide me with the support and guidance I needed in-person. Their attention to detail and thorough preparation ensured that I received the best possible outcome each appearance. I felt bad that Mike and/or Huda had to travel for 2-3 hours for a 20 second court appearance. I should add that during my relationship with The Panella Law firm, Mike and Huda represented me in a family court case (stemming from the above criminal charges) and a business civil case in NYC. It’s like I was the (un)lucky winner of the “legal trifecta” – Criminal Case, Family Court Case, and a Civil case ALL at the same time. Mike and Huda made sure my rights were protected 100% of the time. Huda Saleh is a standout member of the Panella Law Firm. Huda is a compassionate and determined attorney. Her fiery attitude and unwavering commitment to justice make her an asset to the firm. Huda has an eye for detail and is quick to find things others miss. She’s friendly, she cares, she’s sharp, and has a bit of a FAFO attitude when she’s lasered-in on something. She has an in-depth understanding of Family Court & Criminal Law. In addition to their legal expertise, The Panella Law Firm provided exceptional customer service. They understood that my legal issues were stressful and overwhelming. They went above and beyond to provide me with the support and guidance I needed. They did this a lot. I had a lot of “WTF is happening” moments during the 2 years the case was going on for. They are responsive, professional, and were always available to answer my questions and provide updates on the progress of each case. I can recall several 11pm conference calls to discuss the case(s) and a couple of 2-3am text message sessions as well when I had questions. Calls/texts always promptly returned. Overall, I would highly recommend The Panella Law Firm to anyone in need of legal representation. Their commitment to excellence and dedication to defending the innocent is unparalleled. This should be your first stop for legal representation. Mike and Huda protected my rights, and they’ll do the same for you.

Mike is not only talented for his understanding of the law, but he is also a prudent strategist. He thinks ahead and is always prepared for any scenario that comes your way! He got me the exact results I was looking for in my case and I could not be more happy with choosing Mike to represent me!

I was referred to Mr Panella due to his amazing track record and case history. I had a difficult set of felony charges against me. With a definite turn to jail time. With his resources and knowledge Mr Panella arranged a full dismissal of the charges and will be arranging the expungement of the whole situation. He was very profesional, clear and quick to communicate anything to do with my case. He also wrote letters on my behalf to employers explaining the case in detail and the proposed outcome. He was diligent and organized through the whole process. When you need a criminal attorney Mr Panella is more than capable for your needs. Highly recommend his services.

I recently hired Panella law firm, my husband and I could not have been happier. Not only did they see us right away, they accommodated my children and came to us. They had our case resolved within one week. Amazing. We had called over 10 other law firms and were basically lead to believe we had our backs against the wall. No, you don’t, if you don’t hire them to fight for you, you’re making a huge mistake. Thank you so much for everything.

— Thanks from Kris and Felicia, ★★★★★

Michael Panella is a fantastic, compassionate & knowledgeable lawyer. He’s in your corner fighting for you like a bulldog. Though I hope to never need his services again, I would not hesitate to do so if the need arises. I would also definitely recommend him to any who would require his services. Thank you Michael for all that you did for me.

— Keith, ★★★★★

Working with Panella Law Firm has been such a revealing experience. Their presence was felt the entirety of my case and they were extremely informative and proactive with getting me the results I desired.

Although we should all be a continuious evolution, everyone has a past and everyone makes mistakes. I’ve had representation for these mistakes and initial representation for my most recent case. In each situation, I felt as if the money was the primary goal. I didn’t feel as if communication was of importance, and with how expensive a “good attorney” cost, communication should be the last of my worries.

I finally understand what good representation feels like. The price was reasonable and Panella Law Firm worked with me so it didn’t kill my pockets either. The words and appreciation I have for them cannot be articulated, because they exhausted all resources to assure I would be present for the birth and growth of my daughter.

I would like to thank Mike and Huda for not only representing me and getting me the result I needed, but making me feel like family. They never viewed me in any other way except human.

I would recommend Panella Law Firm to every and anyone who needs representation.

THEY TAKE YOUR LIFE SERIOUSLY!!!!!!

— Bertrum, ★★★★★

Panella Law Firm has done a great job for me, Huda worked tirelessly to prepare for my case and that hard work resulted in a positive outcome. Definitely consider this firm if you need representation.

— Tracy, ★★★★★

I’ll start by saying I had a hellish time with 3 other firms. I needed to retrieve 20 year old arrest records, court paper work etc. I got on the phone Marisa answered and immediately felt like someone cared. From the very beginning and throughout she seemed determined to help and ultimately got the job done where other firms failed. Marisa is a huge asset for any company, she has a bright future and you are lucky to have her as a part of your team. Thank you so much Marisa.

Michael Panella is by far the best representation you can have. He not only speaks to every client personally, but he sees every case as a personal vendetta.

This firm is MY GODSEND DREAM TEAM! I was involved in the most devastatingly tragic accident one could imagine. My world became a roller coaster over the next few months with continuance after continuance. No effort from the lawyer I trusted with my life. Let down after let down! At my next hearing, as I was waiting for my case to be called, another defendant was called and he approached with his lawyer. My friend and I watched as this confident, well prepared, pit bull like lawyer represented the defendant by sternly, yet gracefully handing the prosecutor his a$$! We knew in that moment that I NEEDED THAT GUY! That guy was MICHAEL PANELLA! As he walked out, I asked for his card. I did research on him and called the next day.

He said, “Olivia, I have an entire team conferenced in on this call for you. We spoke till 1 AM, almost 4 hours! That was my 2nd interaction with Mike and his team and I knew, without a doubt, that this was who I needed if I was going to have a chance to get my life back. At my next court date Mike was there TO REPRESENT ME! That was the first time I stood before the judge confidently, I knew I wasn’t alone anymore and I had a Godsend team of warriors that had my back! It was the first time in 9 months that I was able to take a deep breath. It was the first time I had hope. I no longer felt helpless and railroaded by powerful, unlawful, agenda running authority figures! A PRICELESS FEELING! They’ve fully proved that they’ll do whatever is necessary to get you the best possible outcome! They’ve continued to amaze me with their dedication, prudence and all around determination to unbury me!

— Olivia, ★★★★★

After speaking with Huda and Mike for the first time I knew I was in good hands. He made me feel comfortable and explained everything that was happening with my case and all the possibilities. They answered all of my questions and put my mind at ease. I appreciated how easy it was to text or email him with any questions. He is a very genuine, kind, honest, hardworking, and compassionate attorney. He was able to get my cased dismissed. It is evident that he is very knowledgeable and has a passion to serve and help others. Mike is truly a blessing. You certainly want him and his team to represent you.

What can I truly say about Mr. Mike Panella. I thank God for a man that believes and trusts in God. Mr. Panella was awesome in my son case. He walked and talked us through everything. He researched my son case and got the TRUTH. He encouraged my son along the way. We were very comfortable with the representation of Panella Law Firm. As we were about to walk out the door, we received a call from Mr. Mike. He told us that the case had been dismissed and there was no need to come to pre-trial court and that no further court dates will be made. I have to tell you, I called my parents, sister and friends and I told them THAT JESUS HAD WON AGAIN. I will never forget the kindness and patience that was showed to my family is such a terrible time in our lives. Thank God for Mr. Mike Panella and his associates.

Mike Panella was by far the most professional and knowledgeable lawyer I have ever retained. This law firm is Five Star. Got my case dismissed. Mike went above and beyond what we prepared for on my case. He didn’t let PA set the tone he controlled the entire case from beginning to end and ended with the best possible outcome.

I am so grateful that I had Mr. Panella defending me. Mr. Panella went above and beyond to help me maintain my innocence. I was wrongfully accused of having falsifying a police report and prostitution. He stood by me, and fought for me all the way until the end. From the first day we worked together he never made me feel anything buy comfortable. I had one person who was on my side; never saying to me like other people: that they thought I was guilty. For that I’m honored to know him and to have had him to fight for me. Thanks to Mr. Panella for doing everything you did for me, and finally in the end getting all the charges against me dismissed.

— Kelvin O. Crumby, ★★★★★

I was recently arrested on a case dating back more than 12 years ago. I hired an attorney to represent me and was assured that the case was dissolved. After hurricane Irma I came to Florida to work and was pulled over and discovered I had a warrant dating back to 2005. I was held on a no bond hold and extradited to Vero Beach. I hired Mike Panella to represent me and within days I was granted bail and released from jail just days before Christmas. My attorney was on the case like nothing I have ever seen before. He remained in constant contact with me and strategized with me to come up with the best case senerio for my specific charges. His understanding of criminal law is second to no one. He not only gave me real advise and an understanding how serious my charges were and what the outcome could be. He never gave me false hope or over promised on what he could deliver. He is a very serious and motivated attorney with a specific skill set that can win cases and keep your criminal record clean. My outcome was case dismissed. I can’t explain how happy I am and excited to not have those charges staining my future but I truelly feel like every dollar I spent was more than worth it and I hit the five star treatment from a real power attorney. Mike Panella is one of the best lawyers in South Florida and believe me when I say this you need this man to represent you if you want a real fighting chance at dismissing your case or being found not guilty. Even the judge complimented him and his knowledge of the law and judicial system and told him he hopes to see him in his court room again soon!!! Panella Law Firm is definitely going to be a force to be recogned with and Mike will defenitley be winning cases all over south Florida for a very long time.

— Dean Cannon, ★★★★★

Panella Law Firm goes above and beyond when it comes to their clients. I have seen first-hand the hard work, dedication, tenacity, and knowledge that comes out of Mike Panella and his firm. Not only does he deliver for his clients, but Mike treats each one of them as his most important priority. The level of care and respect he gives to those he represents is something not typically seen in today’s legal environment. I’ve seen him take the time to listen to his clients without judgement, and defend them in court without reservation. No matter how ‘small’ the charge is, Panella Law Group will fight for you with all available resources (and there are a lot) and with a fervor like none-other. If you or someone you know has a legal issue that needs to be settled, there is no one better than Panella Law Group!

Michael and his secretary Ms. Huda were absolutely wonderful. Jumped on my case immediately and in absolute excitement had my case resolved in my favor. They’re great people and I couldn’t have been any more thankful for them. Thank you guys again.

— Kelly O., ★★★★★

Hire Panella law firm if you want aggressive counsel that WILL get the job done.

— Maldoando C., ★★★★★

During an unfortunate experience, I was hoping to find legal assistance. I am grateful for contacting the Panella Law Firm. The staff represented the epitome of professionalism. My case was quickly reviewed and my attorney maintained swift correspondence with me throughout the entire process. Due to their experience and persistence, my case was resolved in my favor. I would certainly recommend retaining this firm. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

— Zac O., ★★★★★

Mike and Huda are a phenomenal team. I have had a legal battle spanning 7 years. During this time, I have retained attorneys in multiple states (6 attorneys) before I found Mike and Huda. I reached out to them on a Saturday and after having them read my case history (5 hrs worth of documents) they called me back that same Saturday night to discuss their strategy. I retained them the next morning and Mike noticed himself on the case that day. In the first week, they squashed one of the legal battles. They they prepared the highest quality motion I ever seen from an attorney within two weeks of being retained. We received a court date shortly after and actually might have a legal case which has dragged on for years, come to a close in a short 2-3 month timeframe. It was not until Mike and Huda took over as the legal team that I felt secure and safe for my daughter. Mike and Huda will go above and beyond for their clients. I have never met a law firm who will work so hard for their clients. I am forever grateful to Mike and Huda for their tenacity and work ethic. In closely, when you interview attorneys, you need to find one who listens, comprehends, and follow through with a work ethic unlike anyone else. There is a reason why these two are some of the best attorneys I ever came across. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who needs a criminal or family lawyer. Thank you again Mike and Huda!!!!

— Casey D., ★★★★★

I was absolutely mortified and embarrassed when I was arrested for a DUI. Then to find out it was ENHANCED with increased penalties shattered my world! Luckily I was referred to Mike Panella by a close friend and I was impressed from the start. He will stand by you and fight this thing all the way! Enhanced DUI reduced to a Reckless Driving with everything cut in half and NO DUI Enhanced FINE!!! Please before you go anywhere else, look to Mike Panella for any legal help. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.

This is my first time being in trouble with the law, I was incarcerated for some serious aggravated battery charges with a person that has manipulated the system and Mr.Panella and Huda were able to over turn the serious felony charges since I didn’t receive adequate council to begin with and give me another chance to try my case again. If I had to do it all over again I would have started with them from the very beginning. They have been with me throughout this terrible journey and really made me feel strong enough to overcome this. They have gone above and beyond any attorney would ever have. I am truly very appreciative for all of their time and effort that they have put into my case.

I must say they’re the best to go thru for your needs. I had a feeling to just check my drivers license and I seen a pending suspension on my CDLS from a red light ticket. I almost panic and then I searched google for the best lawyers to take care of traffic citations in the Orlando area. I found them, for sure who indeed represented me was very helpful! RIGHT AFTER MY HEARING I GET A CONGRATULATIONS….IT WAS DISMISSED TEXT! I’m so HAPPY about my results because that could’ve added points to my CDLS and it would’ve been hard to get great insurance for my trucking business…it would’ve been hard to provide for myself and family. Thanks again and I will forever have you guys in my pockets!!!

Attorney Mike Panella

For Mike Panella, the concept of zealous advocacy developed at an early age – fueled by what he perceived to be an unjust resolution in a personal family legal matter. Mr. Panella would later attribute his passion to defend the rights of those who stand accused to those inequities in the legal system he observed, and considered unjust. Before opening Panella Law Firm, Mr. Panella served as an Assistant Public Defender for Florida’s 18th Judicial Circuit Public Defender’s Office and worked hundreds of cases in both Brevard and Seminole Counties. Mr. Panella was undefeated at trial. [ Attorney Bio ]
