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...Y court appointment I had. Once he didn't even show up saying only that he was in court with another client which is unprofessional being that I was his client as well. The last time I appeared in court his associate showed up and she seemed to have little interest or knowledge of my case. She kept insisting that I plead guilty to the charge just to "get it over with". He neglected to keep me informed about what would ultimately happen on my case. I felt blindsided and I ended up on probation although Mr. Trentacosta and the solicitor said that nothing was on the tape to show me shoplifting. I could have fought the case on my own and ended up with the same or better results. I honestly feel like I wasted my money on his services and I would never recommend him to anyone. I am writing this because I actually reviewed him on this site and many people gave him high recommendations but after hiring him and being a client I am truthful saying that I am not impressed by him and for me he wasn't a good attorney.

Chad is a wonderful lawyer he know the law very well and does everything to keep you out of jail .I had a theft by taking charge with a warrant out for my arrest and chad got it drop to a disorderly witch is only a $150 fine compared to jail time . He's the best in town with a wonderful price and he ...work with you financially . CAll Chad if your in trouble !!!

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...s automatic termination. He continuously pressured me to bite the bullet and go ahead and turn myself in. After two weeks of heavy stress, I called Chad on the recommendation of a friend and told him my situation. I found him to be attentive, responsive, and very reassuring that he can handle my issues without me going to jail. I was nervous as hell to show up to court on five year old charges but Chad promised me he would take care of me. He was right, I showed up to court, got a tongue lashing from the judge for being five years late and then received 12 months probation with only the first 3 months reporting and the balance non-reporting. The judge then told me I needed to "GIVE MY EXCELLENT ATTORNEY A HUG" for the deal he got me. That had the whole courtroom laughing and my family a HUGE sigh of relief. Oh yeah... He did it for HALF the price the lawyer who told me to turn myself in charged. BEST.. ATTORNEY ....EVAHHHH

If your looking for the BEST LEGAL Representation Chad Trentacosta is definitely the lawyer for you.. He's affordable and dependable! I went to The City of Deactur Traffic Court alone and was offered a plea Deal..$1400 for my three charges, I was going to take it but the Judge rejected it and resched...uled the case. I was looking at time in jail and I started talking with lawyer's. Most had nothing positive to say about the case and others were too expensive. Chad Trentacosta responded to an inquiry I posted online, he gave positive feed back, and was very affordable. To make a long story short he had my Court Venue changed along with getting me a new Judge..he then had my Driving w/ suspended license dismissed and the other charges reduce to $277 and No Jail Time! I couldn't have asked for a better Legal Rep. I highly recommend him if your in trouble with the law!
