Save yourself the money and headache!

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Trentacosta and he sold me a grandiose story about how he would personally escort me to the courthouse, get my warrant withdrawn and handle my case from there.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.

My first 72 hours.

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!

Best result ever

I hired Mr. Trentacosta after being arrested for a hit and run charge. Chad negotiated with the DA and got the hit and run charge reduced to a driving too fast for conditions. A $200 fine plus court fees was my sentence and that was it. Best result ever!

Shoplifting

Attorney Chad Trentacosta was amazing! I did a consultation on 5/7/2018 and hired him 2 weeks later. His price was reasonable but has to be paid in full as soon you decide to hire him. He told me what he could do for me and my case for shoplifting case with walmart. I was innocent! Inwas very scared ...as Inhad never been in trouble with thebkaw. He said that it would be dismissed and that the charges would be dropped and no jail time and also told me not to worry, and he did just that! He always responded to my calls, text messages and emails in a timely manner. He's very personable, patient, and will make sure that you're informed every single step of the way! I will forever recommend him to anyone who's in trouble especially anyone who's like myself and have never been in trouble before. He will be straight up with and tell you exactly what he can do for you and your case! My case was dismissed nas 11/26/18, Thank you soooooo much Attorney Chad Trentacosta!

The best lawyer ever!!!

Hands-down all I can say is this was the best experience ever. I met with Cheyenne and nationally to do a consultation he collected all the parts and the details of my case. We agreed on an amount station. At first I thought he was quite expensive however You pay for what you get. This was the best ...value attorney! End Result, my case was dismissed! Chad provided excellent legal representation, he is well organized, knowledgeable of the law, well informed, professional, and highly recommended! Do not hesitate to use this guy; believe me I’ve heard the poor outcomes of other people’s cases who had lawyers and were under the legal limit!
