First time DUI
Chad Trentacosta did exactly what he said he would during our initial consultation over the phone. He was able to get all three citations combined and reduced to a reckless driving, combined with 40 hours of community service -- just as he had promised. He was extremely knowledgeable about the la...

7 Felonies dismissed
If you are dealing with what looks like an impossible situation, with no options and need an ally on your side, I recommend you give Mr. Trentacosta a call. He is a fierce warrior and will fight the good fight, until the battle is won. Although we faced a lot of challenges, he never quit, never gav...

Wonderful lawyer and great results!
I went to Mr. Trentacosta based on a referral from a friend, and my results couldn't have been better! I was facing a misdemeanor charge and was really worried about my case, but Mr. Trentacosta walked me through the whole process and was with me every step of the way. He suggested some pre-trial act...

NOT IMPRESSED WITH TRENTACOSTA
I was fighting a criminal case of shoplifting. Prior to this I had never been charged with a crime not even a traffic violation. I'm very clean with no criminal past. I hired Chad Trentacosta because I wasn't guilty of the crime and I wanted this nightmare to end. Mr. Trentacosta arrived late to EVER...
Unfortunately, in this industry, there are many situations that arise that may not go well in court. Everyone who is a client of mine knows how much I care about their case and the results thereof. We try our best to get the best results possible. Because we give the same respect to all of our clients, I may from time to time be required to appear in a different county prior to an individuals court date so therefore, I may be late. I'm sorry you are unhappy with the result, but as a first offender, you are completely unaware of how this system works and how much we actually saved your record and other important factors. Criminal defense is a difficult area of law being that these are serious situations. Again, I'm sorry you were unhappy with how the court adjudicated you guilty, but sometimes its not worth risking a trial. We didn't force you to plea guilty, we just negotiated the best outcome for your case as we do with all of our cases. I'm sorry I didn't call you every week, however, the end result is what we are focused on, and sometimes the client needs to contact us to ask for updates. If you were actually innocent of this crime as we discussed we would have gone to trial, unfortunately, you didn't want to do that.
