Robert Hoskins

Robert Lee Hoskins III

Attorney at Law

As a dedicated criminal defense attorney, I feel a deep responsibility to stand up for the rights of those in my community. Born and raised in West Virginia, I worked my way through college, graduating cum laude in 1973. Following graduation, I moved to New York City for law school, learning a great detail about the courtroom just by observing. I stayed in New York in a real estate firm as an associate, but I eventually discovered that my real interest was in criminal defense, arguing cases in front of a jury. I consider myself to be an adventurer, personally and professionally, never shying away from a difficult case, never starting something only to stop halfway. I take pride in my reputation as an aggressive litigator.

Manuel E. Penton, Jr.

Attorney at Law

A native Floridian and Spanish speaker, I entered the legal field because I want to help each and every client fulfill their ambitions. Born and raised in Tampa, I attended the University of South Florida where I earned a BA in Political Science. After graduating from Loyola Law School in New Orleans, I moved back to Florida and began working as an Assistant State Attorney for the State Attorney's Office in Orlando, where I tried over 50 DUI jury trials and over 25 felony jury trials. As a former criminal prosecutor, I now represent individuals with a variety of criminal charges, from traffic offenses to murder. I feel privileged to help remove legal obstacles for individuals and their loved ones.
