About Marco
Biography
An early mentor of mine once told me that the key to a successful practice was never to lose sight of the client's interest and to always put the client first. The rest, she said, inevitably falls into place. It was, and still is, fantastic advice from an accomplished leader. I run my practice by this philosophy. Whether I'm serving an individual or a corporation, a family business or a large franchise, I always take time to communicate with my clients to evalute, assess and re assess goals and expectations. As someone who has grown up in a family of business owners I understand the value of exceeding clients expectations.
I'm very fortunate to be in a profession that allows me to do what I love; help others with their problems and needs. My clients have come to know this and they have also come to know something else; that they always come first.

Residential landlord
I had a very problematic tenant. Attorney Sandonato was able to get this tenant to vacate the property prior to going to housing court. This saved me significant money and time. I would very much recommend using him in eviction / problem tenant situations.

Great Help
Atty Marco Sandonato helped me with a housing situation pertaining to my mom Hewas a good listener, he was as open and honest and followed through. He was responsive, kept his word and showed compassion. I'd definitely use his services again should any other housing situations arise.
