#BadAssLawyer
Honestly, we were shocked to find a lawyer that went above and beyond the call of duty. I say it in that way because our case was highly sensitive and involved a disabled veteran. Very seriously, he left no stone un-turned. He was not intimidated by the opposition. He did the necessary fact finding...

Trustworthy and honest
Mr. Santarpia came highly recommended by someone I know. I was very pleased with his promptness. He was able to complete my divorce sooner than I expected. In addition to my divorce case, he also took over my family court case that had been started before I met him. During a very difficult time f...

A man of his word and work.
Mr. Santarpia stood by me the whole way through trail. He fought for me even when odds where stacked against me. This is someone you want on your side. He does not judge you by the allegations placed against you, but by the character that you show yourself to be. He does not rest until his client rec...

I've seen several negative reviews removed from his profile
He's very dishonest when it comes to billing and manipulates his reviews on Avvo. Find someone else.
I would like to address this negative review. This individual never retained our office and was never a client. I have never been accused of being dishonest with our billing practices. We always provide timely and detailed time entries with our Invoices. We have never manipulated reviews. I can only assume this may be a disgruntled spouse of one of our divorce clients. We fight hard and sometimes the opposing parties don't like us so much.
"I have known Mr. Santarpia for over 15 years. He is an excellent attorney who works hard for his clients to ensure that they get the results they deserve. I endorse this lawyer."
"Sabby is a very talented and well respected lawyer and a personal friend of mine for many years. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who really cares about his clients and who knows how to win cases."
