You would not believe that a law firm so competent would be in my hometown. I thought law firms that were so knowledgeable and so good with their clients were only to be found in New York City. I feel I am well cared for and well advised. I would not consider using any other firm.

Great law firm, very fair and professional attorneys and support staff. There was great and effective communication and actions every step of the way, and very fair fees for the work done.

My experience with McCabe Coleman and Ventosa was positive on all accounts. This is a strong, solid firm that backs its exceptional reputation on every level. John, Steve, and their staff (including front end staff) are extremely kind and professional. There is no stone left unturned at this firm. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for great representation.

I am grateful for the exceptional service I received from McCabe, Coleman, Ventosa & Patterson PLLC. They helped me navigate a complicated property issue and their advice was tremendously helpful. I spoke with Dean McGee who took the time to fully understand my situation and clearly explained the applicable laws and my options. Thanks to Dean McGee’s knowledgeable guidance, I am in the process of resolving the matter efficiently and to my satisfaction. I truly appreciated Dean McGee’s responsiveness, attention to detail, and ability to make a difficult process feel stress-free. The entire team made me feel welcome and well cared for. I would not hesitate to recommend McCabe, Coleman, Ventosa & Patterson PLLC to others dealing with any type of real estate or property legal needs. Their expertise and customer service far exceeded my expectations.

I have used McCabe,Coleman, Ventosa & Patterson on two different services one for the sale of my house and the next traffic court related. Chris Coleman was lights out and on top of everything and traffic court John Ventosa was a complete life saver and would recommend h to everyone. If your looking for experience and professionalism you need not look any further.

Thank you to this law firm for the incredible help, support and professionalism during our case. We had gotten treated horribly by a contractor and needed guidance on how to take legal action against this individual to get our money back. Dean and John are amazing advocates, incredibly knowledgeable and understanding. Dean helped us through every step of the way and we were able to get a positive outcome. He explained things to us in a way so that we could understand. He was always patient and answered every concern with ease. This firm helped us through a very challenging and difficult situation and we are grateful. I’d return to this firm again and again for any legal issues. Thank you!!

Christopher Coleman is an honorable figure and exceptional attorney. In a world filled with greedy and unethical people, and just down right bad actors – Mr. Coleman is a light at the end of a tunnel and a fighter. He will tell you upfront what to expect and how he sees your situation turning out. He won’t waste your time or your money, or have you going down a rabbit hole, like other attorneys build their practices around. He’s the attorney you want defending you and negotiating for you. But he’s also the same attorney that you should use in bettering yourself and avoiding future problems in business and life. If you need an attorney, you can breathe a little better at night knowing you’re in good hands.

Exceptional service and expertise throughout every interaction! Highly recommend John and his team.

I don’t know where to start. Mr.Ventosa is a person who saved my life as a young adult and gave me a second chance in life. Watching him for 2 years take on my case and fight for me like he was my own family showed me his passion and character as a man. Case after case he showed up and was consistent with the 2 cases I caught as a young adult and he told me to not give up things will be better in the end. His words were so encouraging I became accountable as a man to do better and understand the choices I made were immature. He is the reason why I am back focused on the journey I began with during college and his tough characteristics gave me a sign to be mature in a time where I am entering my adulthood. Words can’t express how I feel about him and if you do come across a situation and you need a second chance in life please contact him I promise you he WILL
NOT LET YOU DOWN. THANK YOU MR.VENTOSA YOU ARE TRULY APPRECIATED FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND CONSISTENCY !!
