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...

NOT A GOOD LAWYER
HIRED THIS LAWYER FOR A DOMESTIC CASE, AND HE NEVER SHOWED UP FOR COURT, I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE WE MET THE DAY PRIOR AND HE SAID THAT HIS ARGUMENT WAS GOOD FOR MY CASE,,, HE NEVER MENTION TO ME ABOUT HE HAD COURT IN ANOTHER COUNTY,, DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE HIRING ATTORNEYS.

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...

Did not show for court
I hired Chad Trentacosta for a criminal offense, not only did he not show up at court on date set, he "talked" me through what I should "tell" the clerk.

Unfortunately, clients get upset when they think you are working for them for free and you don't. Obviously, after reading this posting, it was obvious I was even nice enough to send a friend of mine to see if you can meet his minimum price standards. Because I have a significant track record of beating cases, my fee is appropriate. Next time you say you retain an attorney, make sure you get a contract and a receipt of payment, because in this situation, you weren't even a client, you were a phone call that waited a day before the court date to say you didn't have any money. You are lucky I was nice enough to refer someone to you, however, after speaking with him, you didn't seem to pay him either.

NO BOND bench Warrants since 2009 = Non Report Probation + NO JAIL TIME.
I had several warrants out of Dekalb County. The first attorney I hired recommended that I go turn myself in at the county jail and wait for a judge to set bond. I told him I was not interested in being locked up on NO BOND warrants and that was not an option. In my line of work, any jail time mean...
