      "We whole heartedly recommend Mr. Ventosa and Mr. Patterson to anyone seeking legal counsel in or near Poughkeepsie."

      We were in need of a good attorney to help our son with a misdemeanor charge. During the initial free consultation John Ventosa gave us an accurate and thorough analysis of the case and the most likely outcomes. He was patient with all our questions and extremely thorough with his answers. Mr. Ventosa’s partner, Steve Patterson, also worked on the case. With a lot of skill, experience and attention to detail, Mr. Ventosa and Mr. Patterson worked with the local court to reach the best possible conclusion for our son. While we were extremely pleased with the results of both Mr. Ventosa and Mr. Patterson’s efforts, we also appreciated the reassuring, communicative relationship they established with us throughout the process. We whole heartedly recommend Mr. Ventosa and Mr. Patterson to anyone seeking legal counsel in or near Poughkeepsie. We cannot imagine anyone better to lead the way in a legal case and keep you sane at the same time.

      "I highly recommended Chris Coleman and his team. He is professional, friendly and they know their stuff."

      If you are looking for an attorney or dissatisfied with your current one, I highly recommended Chris Coleman and his team. He is professional, friendly and they know their stuff. I’ve used him for small things over the years and was always impressed. No job was to small. When it came time for the ‘big event,’ the selling of our commercial properties, Chris was great. Very responsive and transparent. His team, Lisa and Barb, are also very patient and helpful. Took all the worry out of the legal handling of things and the closing went seamlessly. I cannot overstate how good they are especially compared to others I’ve used prior to them.

      Both John and Steve were very professional during my court case. Both of them kept me updated and were able to achieve the absolute best outcome for my case. I’ve personally known John for years and it was no question of who to call as the best defense attorney in the area to represent me for my case. I cannot thank this firm enough for everything they have done for me in a very stressful part of my life. Johnny & Steve you are the best.

      "I cannot recommend them enough."

      The work this firm did on my behalf was unbelievable. Encapsulating the magnificent job they did with words is difficult to be sure. I cannot recommend them enough. Advising someone to hire Mccabe, Coleman, Ventosa, and Patterson for their legal issues is like telling someone to drink water in order to stay hydrated.

      "If you are in need or looking for an attentive, proactive, and just all around great firm, these are the people you want to fight for you!"

      A couple years ago, i was in need of a great lawyer. I was in a lot of trouble, and needed help in many ways. Mr. Ventosa was that lawyer. He provided me options, and help outside of the courtroom to better help myself, my family, and deal with the after-math of my poor decisions. Mr. Ventosa was always calling, checking in, and keeping me up to date of every aspect of my case. He also was just there to talk, if that’s all I needed. With the added difficulty of Covid, he never wavered from his promise to do everything in his power to help me get through the roughest time in my life. This year he made good on his promise. I truly believe if I had not chosen him and his firm, my life would be completely different at this time. If you are in need or looking for an attentive, proactive, and just all around great firm, these are the people you want to fight for you!

      "I would without a doubt recommend this company. If I am ever in a jam again, I will unquestionably use these lawyers."

      I used this PLLC with my speeding ticket and using words such as professional and effective are an understatement for their quality of work. Any question or concern I had, was answered in an extremely fast turn around time and if they could not answer my question personally, they found someone who could. If you would like fast and sufficient service, I would without a doubt recommend this company. If I am ever in a jam again, I will unquestionably use these lawyers.

      "John went above and beyond and worked incredibly hard and diligently to protect me and I am forever grateful for that."

      I have had John Ventosa defend me recently in an assault case. The prosecutor was adamant about jail time and my first two lawyers told me that there was no way out of it and that we can plea for a short term because the victim was sent to the hospital. I was incredibly worried but then once I spoke with John, his confidence and understanding of the law and how the system works completely put my at ease. Him and his team were always updating me on the status of the case as it progressed. He eventually got me off with absolutely no jail time or probation. He even fought for the judge to try and waive some of the fines. Those were things that the previous two attorneys told me were not possible for me. John went above and beyond and worked incredibly hard and diligently to protect me and I am forever grateful for that. I will refer everyone to him. Thank you John!!

      I had never had to take anyone to court before, so the stress of that had my mind scrambling. After meeting with Dean McGee, he suddenly made my worries go away. Long story short, my wedding venue was refusing to give us any money back (we had to cancel because of the pandemic) and Dean helped us get that closure. Like I said before, we had never gone through anything like this before and Dean made us feel so at ease through it all. Highly recommend!

      "He simply had my best interest as his guide. Superb lawyer, great guy!"

      I used Chris as my lawyer during the time I owned a small retail business. The advice and counsel he offered me as a business owner was superb. Chris is not only a brilliant attorney he's also a common sense, down-to-earth, business person. He could speak legalese as well as P&L. During the time I owned the business I did encounter a few situations that required Chris to act upon my behalf legally ... and he did so masterfully & quickly. He respected me as a person and a business owner. I'm now in the stages of forming a new company and I, of course, went back to Chris to engage him as my lawyer. But after hearing about the type of business I'm attempting to start-up Chris steered me to another lawyer with the particular expertise I'll need to get my business going and to keep it safe - he simply had my best interest as his guide. Superb lawyer, great guy!

I would recommend Chris Coleman and his whole staff to anyone needing a Lawyer. That is if you want someone who is trustworthy, honest, family-based, and relaxed. I never felt rushed or less important than any other client. Thank you Chris for all you do and continue to do for others. Always my best regards. Cheers.

      A few years ago, when I was underage, I had received a violation for using a form of false identification. This charge would have impaired my record and caused many problems and inconveniences for me in the future in regards to my license. Luckily, John Ventosa is an excellent lawyer and got the charges dropped for me in a professional, efficient manner. Aside from being very personable, John makes your needs his priority and is extremely knowledgable. He clearly communicated with me all the moving parts and aspects of my case and made me feel at ease.

      I have had a 14-year relationship with Attorney Coleman covering many issues - real estate, civil actions, tax assessment, power of attorney, estate, and will concern.... and in each and every situation he has given me the best advice and guidance. He has been the only person who has been able to cut through the often highly charged emotions that accompany my various legal problems and steered me clearly to make the correct decisions. His intelligence is remarkable and his incisive rhetoric is a rare talent that gives him the ability to clarify every issue that needs to be addressed. He does not waste your time (or his...) and he gets things done efficiently and correctly every time. In effect, he is the only lawyer you would need for most legal issues, and when he feels you would be better served by someone with more expertise, he does not hesitate to refer you ( and continue to assist you in the process). I consider my self fortunate, on many levels, to have met and worked with Attorney Coleman.

      I moved out of state with outstanding traffic tickets in 3 different jurisdictions. I gave John and Sonya my identifying information and the same day gave me a price to appear on my behalf. All I needed to do was sit back and continue on with my life while they did amazing work knocking my tickets down from driving while suspended to a parking infraction. I paid minimum fees to the courts and my issues were resolved within 1 or 2 months. They were so easy to communicate with and always followed up to make sure the cases were closed! They were amazing and efficient and took my problems personally!

      I contacted John after receiving a DWI and refused the breathalyzer.

      One bad decision and one's life can change forever! Our 20-year-old daughter was arrested for DWI. We needed to find an attorney and has never been in trouble before we did not know one. Fortunately, we were connected with John Ventosa. The case was complicated by the fact she is an out of state resident and, is also attending college. Mr. Ventosa went right to work. He explained the process and possible outcomes. When one is facing a Drinking and Driving charge the outcomes (DWI/DWAI) can leave a life-long criminal and DMV record. Mr. Ventosa recognizes that, and skillfully negotiated with the ADA to have the charges reduced to an Under 21 Zero Tolerance DMV Violation! This is a non-criminal charge and, after 3 years all records are sealed/destroyed. At the first Court Hearing, the Judge challenged the legality of being able to reduce 1192 (3) DWI Charge all the way down to an 1192 -an Under 21 charge. He postponed his decision pending further proof it could be done. Mr.Ventosa explained to us that it could be and that he would provide the Judge with the supporting documentation. He also got a Waiver for our daughter not to have to appear in court a second time (she lives 800 miles away). Mr. Ventosa did provide the Judge with the necessary Case Law to have the DWI Charges reduced (beyond a DWAI) to a U21 Violation. We were absolutely amazed that he was able to accomplish such a huge feat!!! While the consequences are warranted and significant (she not only had to go through NYs court system but will also need to go through her home state's DMV License Suspension process) she will not have a permanent criminal record! We are beyond grateful that we made 'one good decision'; to hire Mr. Ventosa!!! He is a highly skilled Attorney, responded quickly to any questions we had and was a passionate advocate for our daughter!

      I have engaged Mr. Coleman on a number of occasions for various legal matters ranging from family Wills, setting up corporations, real estate purchases, and corporate contracts.

I typically don't provide feedback on sites like this, but I also don't typically don't find such quality services. I can recommend Mr. Coleman without hesitation.
