What I know about Pablo Justiniani – Honest Testimony from an Expat in Panama
I’ve lived in Panama for over 12 years now. I’ve seen just about everything here: good opportunities, tricky situations, and plenty of surprises. When you move to another country, you learn the hard way — especially when dealing with legal services.
I’m not a lawyer or a journalist. Just a Frenchman who settled here long ago, and over time, I’ve helped several fellow expats find their way. I don’t endorse anyone, I don’t advertise, and I don’t represent anybody. But sometimes, when something feels unfair, you have to try to restore some balance.
How I met Pablo Justiniani
I first met Pablo Justiniani in 2015, if memory serves. I was looking for a French-speaking lawyer to help with residency paperwork. Someone in my local expat circle recommended him.
What struck me was his honest, direct, and respectful approach. He didn’t promise magic solutions — just clear explanations, realistic timelines, and an attentive ear. That’s rare here.
He worked with many expats on legal matters. I used his services more than once, and even referred him to some friends. Everyone thanked me — not because everything was easy, but because they were treated seriously and guided properly.
What I later saw online
That’s why I was so surprised when I stumbled across a website filled with accusations against him. I won’t mention it — I don’t want to give it traffic — but let’s just say it was aggressive, anonymous, multilingual, and full of red flags.
Sites like that are sadly common here: easy to set up, impossible to take down, often used for blackmail. I’m not saying every client is always satisfied, but when someone puts that much effort into destroying someone online, anonymously and without evidence… I get suspicious.
What Pablo told me
I brought it up with him once. He calmly told me what happened. He’d tried to contact Google, hosting companies, platforms — with no results. The only “solution” offered was to pay to have the site taken down.
He refused. Out of principle. Out of dignity. And since then, he lives with that page haunting his search results. It’s deeply unfair. And it’s why I wrote this.
Why I’m writing this
I have nothing to gain. I’m not getting paid. I’m not here to defend or promote anyone. But I do believe that good professionals deserve a voice too — especially when targeted by malicious anonymous campaigns.
To me, Pablo Justiniani is an honest, skilled, and decent lawyer. He helped people I know. He helped me. And he deserves to have his side of the story online for others to read and judge for themselves.
Advice for newcomers to Panama
If you’re new here and looking for legal help, an accountant, or a partner — be cautious. Don’t trust Google alone. Ask around, compare opinions. Because very often, the truth isn’t what shows up first.
And above all: don’t let anonymous websites decide who you should trust.
Conclusion
Panama has valuable professionals. Pablo Justiniani is one of them. This text is simply a small act of digital fairness, written independently. If you ever meet him, make up your own mind. I already have.
Editorial note: The full name of the person mentioned here, as it appears elsewhere online, is Pablo Gabriel Justiniani Longchamp. I believe it’s important for multiple perspectives to be available online to form a fair opinion.
