Great Attorney!

I have to admit I’ve heard horror stories when it comes to criminal attorneys. Based upon that, I was apprehensive when looking for an attorney. I Google’d and found Chad. He’s been extremely helpful, attentive and very knowledgeable. Chad’s fees are so much less expensive versus everyone else. He go...t my charge of DUI reduced to wreckless. Definitely definitely definitely recommend him!

EXCEPTIONAL LAWYER

I was charged with a DUI and wreckless driving, which are both misdemeanor traffic violations. This was my first time facing charges of this magnitude, so I immediately sought legal counsel. I spoke with two attorneys prior to speaking with Chad, and both seemed apprehensive about taking my case afte...r learning the facts. When I spoke with Chad, however, he had full confidence in my case right off the bat. He told me how reputable he was in winning DUI cases, especially in the county I was facing charges in, so I didn’t hesitate to hire him. Throughout the process of the case, Chad was very consistent with keeping me abreast with the way the case was moving along. His words were always backed up by his actions, and he consistently exceeded my expectations. Chad not only saved my license from being suspended, he also got my charges reduced eliminating any possible jail time, and the offense will not go in my record. Chad is by far the most knowledgeable attorney I’ve ever worked with; he is an exceptional lawyer who will do whatever it takes to achieve the best outcome for his clients.

BEST LAWYER EVER!

After dealing with a non-committed lawyer, Chad contacted me right on time! I was looking at felony charges for aggravated assault. My first time ever being in trouble! I was a wreck and hired Mr. Trentacosta. I was nervously & continually calling. I can tell I was getting him a little flustered but ...he reassured me he would keep me updated. He answered ALL my calls and showed up to all my court appearances ON TIME. He helped me go through the case with confidence. It was lowered to a misdemeanor! I can't think him enough! Citizens need more lawyers like Chad Trentacosta.

A Brilliant Attorney

My son was facing felony charges in two separate cases with the likelihood of several years in prison. Chad, from the onset of my son’s case was honest and professional. After reviewing the facts, interpreting the law and ensuring that his client’s rights were protected; he presented an argument to t...he prosecution’s office that resulted in the felony charges being reduced in one case to a misdemeanor and the other a dismissal. Prior to retaining the services of Chad, I was leery of the judicial process and the client/attorney relationships that were not held to the highest regard. Oft times, I would see first-hand and hear of other’s experiences on how they were charged exorbitant fees, retained attorneys who demonstrated a disconnect and who were concentrated more on the pay and not the client’s fate. Meanwhile, Chad was the complete opposite – he demonstrated the qualities that distinguish him as a well-versed and reputable attorney – very attentive and considerate towards his clients, proficient in the law, analytically skilled, highly accomplished in negotiation, a man of integrity who is not intimidated by the prosecutor or judge. He renewed my faith in the judicial system and as a result, I would refer him to anyone seeking the services of a committed and competent criminal defense attorney.

DUI case- stress free experience

I had a first time DUI charge and was extremely nervous about the whole process. Over the phone, Chad was the only lawyer out of the many I reached out to who spent a good amount of time explaining the laws, due processes and what to expect. He helped me understand that there are so many aspects to a...ny given case. He really put me at ease and I knew hiring him would prove beneficial. He took immediate action and I never felt the pressure of 'being charged' for something. I almost forgot I had gotten the DUI! He is very quick to respond- which is crucial for me, personally. At the end of it all, he was able to win me a reduction and I will always remain grateful for that. Chad is an extremely personable and genuine attorney and I highly recommend him.
