In April of 2020 my wife and I found ourselves in a situation we’d never thought we would be in. We were devastated by what had transpired, embarrassed, and worse yet, the court system dragged our case out for 18 months because of a backlog from the pandemic. Trent was the consummate professional t...hroughout. He understood my wishes to protect not just myself but my wife from the court system and that we wanted discretion. He advised me on how to put my best foot forward with the Family Services, he was present on every call, following up with them when the court system and public services dropped the ball. I’m really pleased that on the day of our plea hearing, we fortunately did not have to step foot into that courtroom. Trent held a sidebar with the powers that be, which I could only assume is a state prosecutor and the judge, and convinced them to abandon the charges (nolle prosequi). It was also reaffirming to me that Trent is well known and highly regarded amongst his peers and the court. I observed this on several occasions on court appointments and so it’s fair to say that that our favorable outcome wasn’t the result so much of serendipity as it was more likely due to his legal adeptness and acuity, and his professional reputation. Thank you Trent.

Attorney LaLima helped me with my DUI case and made the whole process much easier and less scary for me. From the first phone call I was speaking to Attorney LaLima directly, and always heard back from him within less than 24 hours throughout the entire process. Attorney LaLima had the answers to all... of my questions and handled by case with ease.

My family and I had a wonderful experience dealing with Trent and his office. Not only did he get us best case scenario for sentencing, he was pleasant to deal and responsive when we had questions. covid made things more complicated but he accommodated with Virtual meetings whenever needed.

Although we hope we don't need to hire him again, we certainly will if necessary. Thank you Trent!
