My family and I had a wonderful experience dealing with Trent and his office. Not only did he get us best case scenario for sentencing, he was pleasant to deal and responsive when we had questions. covid made things more complicated but he accommodated with Virtual meetings whenever needed. We felt his fee was reasonable for what we had to deal with. His knowledge of the Hartford judicial system and team is extremely helpful!! We would highly recommend him. Although we hope we don't need to hire him again, we certainly will if necessary. Thank you Trent!

Trent LaLima showed his passion for law from the second I spoke with him about my case. He fights for the best possible outcome for his clients and is eager to succeed in helping both in and out of the court room. Trent was always ready to take a phone call, respond to emails, and even meet and answer any questions I had before and after hearings. That does not even begin to touch on all of his efforts behind the scenes. He is extremely knowledgeable, honest, and hardworking. He knows how to build a solid, structured defense to then bring and deliver it to the court. I am extremely grateful to have found and worked with a lawyer that went above and beyond for such a period of time and put my best interest at the forefront. Trent got my life back to normal. He is an amazing attorney, and I would recommend him for anyone requiring these services.

Trent LaLima has represented me in two separate matters since 2015. In each case he has represented me very well and in each one there was a favorable outcome for me. In the most recent matter he confirmed how accomplished an attorney he is when he worked promptly and diligently to secure a timely and very positive outcome for me. I highly recommend him.

During a very difficult time, Trent LaLima came into my life and played a crucial role in my recovery. Mr. LaLima is a truly gifted and professional individual. His relentless approach to my case(s) is a direct reflection of his unwavering desire to be the best. Trent is an endearing attorney that commands respect in the courtroom and among public officials. I knew that Trent always had my best interests in mind. He set all of my worries and anxiety at ease in and out of the courtroom. Trent LaLima is truly a great guy and proven expert in his field. If you need someone in a difficult time, take my advice and call Trent. Your future self will thank you. Thanks for everything, Trent. God Bless

Trent represented me on multiple cases. He was always thinking of all the angles and at one point got me an unexpected great result by knowing when not to argue something. He was patient with my case and kept coming back to court waiting to strike when the iron was hot for a great deal on my cases. I would recommend anyone hire his firm.

I have been represented by Santos & LaLima PC since 2017, and Trent has been an instrumental part of my criminal defense team since the very beginning. Throughout the long and excruciatingly painful process of defending myself in a high-profile case, Trent did the leg work, prepared my case for multiple court appearances, and helped me navigate a system that terrified me and was bent on grinding me into hamburger. Along the way, Trent and the late atty Santos helped me wait out the tenure of a judge who was unduly biased against me. Since 2019, Trent has been the principle attorney in my case. He represented me in front of a new judge and helped me secure the diversionary probation status of Accelerated Rehabilitation, which allows my record to be expunged at the end of the probationary period. Trent was also there to help me when probation took me back to court, then filed an appeal when the judge inappropriately revoked my AR. The comprehensive and well laid out arguments in the brief to the appellate court resulted in a unanimous decision in my favor, allowing me to restart my AR and have a hope at regaining my life at the end of this chapter. So, through superior court, the appellate court, and probation, Trent has walked alongside me every step of the way. I and my family believe that without Trent's hard efforts, or with someone less competent, my future would have been bleak indeed. Through the whole process, Trent has treated me with respect, kindness, and compassion. And as bonus, his fees were very reasonable considering the seriousness of the allegations. Being caught in the jaws of the (in)justice system is a categorically painful and terrifying experience. The right attorney can mean the difference between just singed or being completely destroyed. I and my family believe that Trent has been the right attorney for me and has done admirably discharging his professional responsibility.

In the course of a very lengthy court process (thanks, Covid), Trent was phenomenal about staying in touch, preparing our family for court hearings and easing the way for a productive end to a very trying and unfortunate time for our family.

Trent made a difficult and challenging situation easy to process and move forward. He was informative, timely and highly supportive. He was always accessible and easy to talk with. Highly recommended.
