Stephen Michael Santoro

Mr. Santoro and his firm represented myself in a difficult custody battle. My ex husband was and remains a mentally ill and vindicitive individual The case was tried with expertise and compassion in Dutchess County over months. The result is that myself and my children are safe and well and protec...ted from emotional harm that was being inflicted before I hired Santoro & Scigliano to help and protect us. They could not have been more caring or proficient. Our sincere thanks to him his partner and their staff. The best of the best.

Mr Santoro represented me in an acrimonious divorce proceeding in 2006. He went so far above and beyond what most lawyers do it was difficult to fathom. He is exactly what a lawyer should be. He is an effective advocate who can modulate his approach when and where necessary. Aggressive , eth...ical, fearless. He led the way and helped me navigate through a very difficult and stressful process. I would recommend him unequivocally to anyone. He kept me informed every step of the way and treated me with the utmost respect. He is a credit to his profession and a blessing to his clients.

The "fraud" posting was done by my ex-spouse after Mr. Santoro very successfully represented me in uncovering his assets and having the appropriate amount of money awarded to my children and me. His "cash" business was appropriately valued and distributed Mr. Santoro never represented him. He has ...chosen to launch a false slander campaign and I understand a defamation suit has been filed. Mr. Santoro is being falsely criticized by an adversary posing as a client. What a shame (or sham).

He has got to be the absolute worst lawyer in the country- a complete sham! Everything bad you hear about lawyers applies to him- a disgrace and an imposter!! I won't even use the word attorney- it doesn't apply to him. I'm surprised former clients aren't picketing outside his office- it must be ille...gal to protest on that residential block. His so called firm doesn't even have a website- what does that tell you? I predict he will not be practicing much longer- STEER CLEAR.
