Catherine Carol Desanto

We have been in court on and off for over 7 years fighting for more time and trying to get my ex to actually follow the court paper in general. Obviously, those bill certainly added up and we used a few different lawyers prior to Catherine. Our first lawyer, didn't know family law, our second lawyer... over promised and under delievered, our third lawyer had a paralegal doing all the work and messing up everything over and over while charging us for every word we spoke to her. Final we were received a recommendation for Catherine and what a breath of fresh air!! She handled the case on her own and actually remembered us, our case and things we asked of her. She was very real and honest with us and went above and beyond. She also didn't nickle and dime for every question, email or phone call. Catherine was very fair and professional. She is intelligent and knows what she is talking about. You can tell she is well respected in Riverhead court house by the other lawyers, officers and judges. I would recommend Catherine to anyone looking to get the job done correctly with someone who will fight for you, understand you and listen! I hope I never have to be in court again, but if I do, I will 100% be calling Catherine.

Unfortunately, I spent a lot of time with an atty who didn't do as much as Catherine did in a shorter amount of time and it was also a financial disaster. I met with Catherine later in my custody situation. I am forever grateful for her thoroughness, empathy, calmness and expertise. She is well ...spoken and respected. I also felt that her law guardian background was helpful to my case in the family court system. She was well known with other professionals and knew how to navigate the system. She was also able to steer me towards another professional who assisted me with a different challenge in our case. Catherine is trustworthy, a straight-shooter and considerate with billing as well. She is caring, intelligent, hard working, experienced and prepared to tell you how it is. I would pass along her contact info. confidently to anyone who needed legal services.
