Fantastic Attorney, Gets The Job DONE.

I hired Frank to represent me in a PFA hearing, and he fought tooth and nail on my behalf. He was extremely aggressive, attentive, and challenged every point to bring out the truth, ultimately winning a full dismissal. Frank was very well organized both before and during the hearing. He went above... and beyond to help me through what was an incredibly stressful situation. His communication was excellent—he always answered the phone and provided thoughtful strategic guidance whenever I needed it. Frank will fight hard for you and have your back every step of the way. His office was also very flexible and transparent when it came to compensation and the fee structure, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Frank to anyone in need of strong, dedicated legal representation.

Phone consultation regarding civil matter.

I had a phone consultation with Attorney Frank Santomauro regarding a civil matter and I was very impressed by how he listened to my situation and clearly explained my legal options. He even allowed me to forward the legal documents and then gave me an honest assessment without any pressure. This ph...one consultation gave me clarity on how I should move forward. I would highly recommend him for any legal matter. My thanks.

If you want the job done hire Frank.

Frank has been a long time lawyer for me and my family. He is reliable, prepared, and does a fantastic job. I have never been unsatisfied and I’ve come to him at times I was fighting for my family and very scared. I recommend him if you want someone who gets the job done and done well.

Inconsistent and doesn't keep to his word.

Frank was very rude and terrible toward me and my case. I chose frank because kevin (his secretary?) talked him up. Frank was friendly my first appointment and said it'd be settled quickly. I paid his retainer in full , upfront. I employed him for a little over 2 months. Inconsistent updates.... Lengthy response times ( if a response was given at all) and constantly needing "refreshers" and "reminders" on where we were at and the info I'd sent them MULTIPLE times. One of those months, I didn't hear from him at all. I'd only spoken to him 3 times. The last engagement we had, he had a bad temper and sour attitude. He tried to convince me to settle with their first offer and refused to consider my asks. He did not explain why, just kept telling me it'd take a lot of time, which is what I'm paying for. He resigned when I told him I wanted to counter offer and then overcharged me for his "services". **emails that he requested and had me resend because he "didn't want to look for it" There was no warning or info given to me about the case only the invoice. **I have receipts and documentation of interactions and engagements. Don't recommend. Terrible lawyer and an even more terrible person.

Frank Santomauro- divorce help

When I went to Frank, I knew absolutely NOTHING about the divorce process or what my rights were. Frank really, really listened to my experience and honestly and compassionately explained how things worked and step by step what would happen. He spoke to me with respect and made my fear turn to relie...f. His entire team worked tirelessly to get me results. I would recommend Frank a THOUSAND PERCENT!!!!!! He made me feel better in a scary new experience.
