Chad has saved my young life

If it wasn't for the incredible, outstanding, BEST CASE SCENARIO'S Chad Trentacosta has done for me -- I'd lose my job and be in jail. Don't feel bad about the severity of your case if you had Chad as your representation. 1 DUI - Dismissed. 2 Drug Charges - Dismissed. Failure to Appear - Dismi...ssed. (More than once) Speeding Ticket - Taken Care Of, Highly Reduced. Parking Tickets - Thrown Out, Dismissed. It doesn't hurt that he knows nearly every District Attorney, Judge and Prosecutor in the Greater Atlanta Area...Plus they all love him. Chad is by far the highest winning, most affordable attorney I know in all of Atlanta. ...It's crazy to think how much more he will cost in years to come. Hire Chad Trentacosta!

Excellent Choice

I was facing a burglary charge and I could not have had a better attorney. He is very confident and full of knowledge. My case did not go to court! Excellent choice and highly recommended.

EXCELLENT OUTCOME!!

When Chad took over my DUI case he was confident that he could help me and he did! I'm so glad that I decided to make him my attorney, because the outcome of my case couldn't have been better. He was able to get my DUI charge changed to Failure to use due care, which is just about as good of an outco...me I could have hoped for, shy of getting the whole case thrown out. I was able to keep my license which I had communicated to him that losing it was my biggest worry. I felt well informed and at ease throughout the entire process and any questions I had were well answered. I would recommend Chad to anyone looking for an amazing attorney!!

Great Attorney That Knows His Stuff!!

I was charged with assault stemming from an altercation that involved me defending a female after she was assaulted by man. Chad had a head a steam and made it clear in court that I was trying to protect this woman from getting hurt anymore than she already was and that I did not instigate this alter...cation. After Chad got up and presented the case, the judge threw it out saying "I have no clue why you are here Mr. X. We need more people like you trying to help people in that type of situation.". The way Chad presented the facts were well thought out and very concise. I will recommended Chad to anyone who ask me if I know a good attorney. He is well prepared, knows his cases inside and out, and thinks on his toes.

You want this attorney on speed dial...

I was facing, along with my wife, an ungodly felony offense for check forgery and fraud (along with some other charges we're sure). It should not have involved my spouse, but since it involved her bank account, and a business account as the depositing accounts, we both were implicated. It was for a s...ubstantial amount ($10,000+) and though it was my intent to rectify the deposit before it became an offense, I could not come up with the funds in time. We contacted Attorney Trentacosta based on the prior reviews we had read, with no expectations of this turning out good. It involved a industry known for prosecuting any fraud or criminal enterprise. In the initial stages the bank made some errors (reversals) that we thought would rectify the matter (or at least buy us some time) until we had the opportunity to make the repayment to the organization. This wasn't the case, when two plain-clothes law enforcement officers showed up at our home; it was beyond horrifying. It was such a scary experience that I couldn't open the door, knowing it would result in an arrest. Instead I called Attorney Trentacosta (Chad) who immediately contacted the Sheriff's department and cut a deal directly with them to avoid any arrest or involvement of the court system. We were able to repay the funds, with Chad acting as the intermediary. This was, I assure you with my limited knowledge, unheard of in such a case. We borrowed and begged to come up with the sum of money needed, deposited it into his escrow account, and he made payment to the organization without any recourse. It saved our family and my professional name. This would have surely ruined us as a family and our ability to earn a living. We are still in awe of how fast we have been able to put this matter to rest and have our lives put back on the right course. It is all due, in no short order to Mr. Trentacosta and his knowledge of the law and dedication to his clients. We have no plans to need his services in the future, but plan to recommend to everyone that will listen. We also plan to put him on retainer just to know we have this legal 'beast' on our side will be the type of confidence any individual or business would find invaluable.
