I have engaged Attorney Trent LaLima on a business as well as personal basis and cannot speak highly enough of his counsel , knowledge and effectiveness in dealing with legal matters. Trent is straight forward and effective always putting his client first. He communicates throughout the process . As ...a client one always has an accurate understanding of where the situation is without continuously asking for an update Trent is fair straightforward and effective always putting the clients best interest above all else I would highly recommend him to anyone which I have done on several occasions.

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. We felt h...is fee was reasonable for what we had to deal with. His knowledge of the Hartford judicial system and team is extremely helpful!! We would highly recommend him. Although we hope we don't need to hire him again, we certainly will if necessary. Thank you Trent!

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.
