I’ve known my whole life, HE IS TOP KNOTCH!

All the way back to my parents in the 80s or 90s, my dad told me there’s no one better than Sal! My late brother as well as many relatives have hired him for numerous things, Divorce, land, real estate, deeds today. I’ve had the pleasure of watching him a few times in court, doing his thing with the ...upmost professionalism and care for his clients. Even when he has to stand up against a less than desirable Distruct attorney in our county, he handles him with patience and grace. He is and has always been a HUGE ASSET to our hometowns! Thanks for EVERYTHING SAL!!

My first choice in legal advice.

I have known Sal Lanza for over 30 years first hiring him for neighborhood disputes over access to property rights. His service was valuable in retaining and exercising our rights. His work and intellect impressed me, and I have used his service for estate advice and services related to that. He is ...the first person I think of and reach out regarding legal advice. I find his tutorials on social media informative and while discussing complexities he provides insights using plain language.

Best lawyer you could ask for!

Sal is the only lawyer I’ve had going through family court the last 2 years and will continue going through him if needed to. He is truly the best and knows his stuff. He helped me get sole legal custody of my daughter and I couldn’t thank him enough. He will fight to the end for you no matter what i...t takes. If you need a lawyer Sal is definitely your #1 guy.

The Best!

I have known Sal for almost 40 years, My mother and father were getting a divorce. He was a fantastic lawyer for my Mother. My father remarried and when he got divorced from that wife he went with Sal. I would go to him with any legal problems I have. He is outstanding!
