It was a pleasant experience having my Estate Planning done by
McCabe, Coleman, Ventosa & Patterson PLLC.
John Ventosa made the legal terminology easier to understand and less intimidating. Rachel’s efficient drafting of the documents helped meet the delivery request of 30 to 60 days. All documents were signed and delivered exactly on the 30th day. I couldn’t have been happier.

I recently had the pleasure of working with McCabe, Coleman, Ventosa & Patterson PLLC. I am profoundly grateful that our paths crossed. They provided excellent support and guidance during an emotional time for me and my family. John and the firm’s commitment to excellence and relentless pursuit of justice made such a meaningful impact on my case. I truly appreciated the advocacy, dedication, and professionalism shown throughout the entire process. The administrative staff was equally impressive, handling everything efficiently and with a warm, respectful demeanor. From start to finish, the entire team made me feel valued. If you’re looking for a firm that combines professionalism with outstanding results, this is the one to choose!

From start to finish, John and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. John took the time to thoroughly get to know my wife and I and our needs. He was extremely prompt in answering all of our questions, and even answered questions we didn’t know we had. We never had to ask for follow up, because John always beat us to it. His knowledge of business law helped us to skillfully navigate a difficult situation. We are happy to say we will be using John and his team as both our family and business attorney for all of our future needs.

I have worked with both John Ventosa and Chris Coleman on both simple and complex legal matters. John, Chris and the entire staff have been thorough and professional every step of the way. I recommend this firm to anyone seeking sound and honest legal representation.

John ventosa was very patient and helpful for what I needed. Will definitely use their services again.

Doesn’t get any better than this team. I was arrested and charged with a DWAI in New Paltz. I had Ventosa as my attorney. I gave him the whole story of what happened on the phone the day after the offense, and he was very confident that this case would get resolved pretty easily. I had my court date two weeks after, and I was told that I was going to get a hardship license from the start. However I had attorney Coleman there to represent for me in front of the judge, and by the end of first court day; I walked out with the DWAI charge dismissed with full driving privileges and only having to pay a $150 fine. These guys got my case done and got it done fast. Definitely a better outcome than I expected.

Working with John and Chris was an absolute game-changer for our commercial lease in NYC. Their expertise, responsiveness, and attention to detail were instrumental in navigating the complexities of New York City real estate. Nothing is ever simple in this market, but having them by our side made all the difference. We couldn’t have done it without them.

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 !!

I recently received a rather bad speeding ticket that would have resulted in 6+ points on my license. I reached out to John Ventosa for assistance on how to proceed with the court and process. John was extremely communicative, professional, and thorough. He negotiated my speeding ticket down to an outcome which was much better than what I had anticipated (and undoubtedly better than what I would have received had I tried to go through the process on my own).

I would highly recommend John Ventosa!
