Traumatic

This man should not be practicing! He is a misogynist. Santoro fell for my ex husbands " poor me" she done me wrong b.s. I could have represented myself better. Thankfully it wasn't solely in his hands. I wish I read the previous reviews. No star applies!!

" A Lighthouse over the rocks"

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.

slander

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).
