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.

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.

It was a lucky day for me when I called his office.

I made an appointment to have a consultation with Attorney Frank J. Santomauro. In a matter of minutes after entering his office, I felt I was talking to a friend of twenty years. Mr. Santomauro’s style and professionalism are very reassuring and comforting. He took the time no...t only to answer all of my questions but he also explained the law to me in very simple terms. By the time I left his office my concerns had vanished. Mr. Santomauro is the type of guy you want with you in a fight. I can’t thank him enough. Joseph Cassara

Trustworthy, Compassionate Attorney

I found myself in the middle of a very difficult Landlord-Tenant issue, thinking I had nowhere to turn and no solution ahead of me. I contacted and presented my issues to Attorney Santomauro, and, without hesitation, he took on my case. In my experience, it's very rare to find an Attorney who demon...strates such care, compassion, and empathy. Frank went above and beyond. Within a short amount of time, he was able to resolve this matter - and allow me to move on with my life and into a better, happier situation. The time that Frank took to talk to me and gather the facts of the case, and the way he laid everything out and presented it in my defense brought this to a much faster resolution than I ever could've imagined. Frank is so easy to talk to, and really shows heart -- and for that, I highly recommend Attorney Frank J. Santomauro!
