Dedicated, calm and reassuring

Atty. LaLima was the attorney for my son for a prolonged case starting when he was a minor. Atty. LaLima gave us the information that we needed to make informed decisions and was patient and understanding of our questions and concerns. He gave us his input and was willing to listen to ours as well. A...ttt. LaLima seems to have a good relationship with many of the other attorneys which we deemed advantageous for discussing strategies for our case. He was available for calls from our son and us and helped us navigate a very scary process.

Very experienced lawyer

Trent represented me on multiple cases. He was always thinking of all the angles and at one point got me an unexpected great result by knowing when not to argue something. He was patient with my case and kept coming back to court waiting to strike when the iron was hot for a great deal on my cases. I... would recommend anyone hire his firm.

Competent, Calm, and Compassionate

I have been represented by Santos & LaLima PC since 2017, and Trent has been an instrumental part of my criminal defense team since the very beginning. Throughout the long and excruciatingly painful process of defending myself in a high-profile case, Trent did the leg work, prepared my case for multi...ple court appearances, and helped me navigate a system that terrified me and was bent on grinding me into hamburger. Along the way, Trent and the late atty Santos helped me wait out the tenure of a judge who was unduly biased against me. Since 2019, Trent has been the principle attorney in my case. He represented me in front of a new judge and helped me secure the diversionary probation status of Accelerated Rehabilitation, which allows my record to be expunged at the end of the probationary period. Trent was also there to help me when probation took me back to court, then filed an appeal when the judge inappropriately revoked my AR. The comprehensive and well laid out arguments in the brief to the appellate court resulted in a unanimous decision in my favor, allowing me to restart my AR and have a hope at regaining my life at the end of this chapter. So, through superior court, the appellate court, and probation, Trent has walked alongside me every step of the way. I and my family believe that without Trent's hard efforts, or with someone less competent, my future would have been bleak indeed. Through the whole process, Trent has treated me with respect, kindness, and compassion. And as bonus, his fees were very reasonable considering the seriousness of the allegations. Being caught in the jaws of the (in)justice system is a categorically painful and terrifying experience. The right attorney can mean the difference between just singed or being completely destroyed. I and my family believe that Trent has been the right attorney for me and has done admirably discharging his professional responsibility.
