Chad Michael Trentacosta

I had a felony probation violation warrant out of Dekalb County, and was going to turn myself in. My friend talked me in to calling some lawyers first. So, I called a few lawyers. They were to expensive and basically couldn't tell me anything they could do for me. I gave up! Then Chad returned my ea...rlier call (maybe 30 minutes). I will cut to it, I hired him just hoping to stay out of jail. That was Tuesday evening, Friday afternoon I walked out of court a free man! That says quite a bit about his work! Not only did I not go to jail at all, but he got my probation dismissed as well! Poor Chad got group hugged by me and my family! I am still in shock! I feel so very lucky! And I cannot recommend enough, that if you are facing a similar situation, you call Chad.

I hired Mr. Trentacosta and he sold me a grandiose story about how he would personally escort me to the courthouse, get my warrant withdrawn and handle my case from there. However, none of the aforementioned actions occured; quite the contrary. Not only did he NOT fulfill these expectations, he was a... nightmare to get in contact with. I was arrested and incarcerated for 19 days until I found and hired a second attorney. Not only did I have to pay a new and higher retainer for my second attorney, I lost my job because I was left sitting in jail with no way to contact Mr. Trentacosta. Can you imagine putting your faith and money into an attorney and ending up losing your job and getting arrested? Ridiculous and unprofessional at best. Beyond this, once I was released and under the care of a new attorney, I mailed Mr. Trentacosta a certified letter requesting a refund that he did reply to nor contact me about. I then attempted to use the Fee Arbitration service offered by the State Bar of Georgia and did not receive a follow up from them either. I am just one of the many who are left helpless and taken advantage of because of the actions of some unethical attorneys. They carry themselves as if they are above the law, and because of the average persons limited legal knowledge, they truly are. I took out a loan and paid Mr. Trentacosta over $1,500 with absolutely nothing to show for it. I was given no opportunity for receiving a refund. I see numerous 5-Star reviews and wonder how much merit and truth they possess.

All the reviews are after the verdict. Not this one. Well I was involved in a serious incident that needed immediate attention . Unfortunately this situation fell on a weekend for me. You try calling an attorney's office on there day off and see what happens. Not to mention several days after Chri...stmas and several days before New Year's Eve . There couldn't be a tougher time of the year to retain counsel. Warrants would have been issued bar none! So you can imagine how uncomfortable my state of mind was. My first call he personally answered. Within several hours he met me at his closed office he opened it up within minutes calls were made. Peace of mind ensued several minutes there after. Since then there has been numerous phone calls which unbelievably all have been answered by him. I am a business owner with a high pedigree for perfection but he has me trumped. Thank you Chad for giving me a peace of mnd that only YOU could have given me!
