the best lawyer ever!

Jules Szanto is phenomenal! I’ve had him for multiple cases (both closed and pending) and he has given me peace of mind and came up with a game plan for the court proceedings. He helped me to understand the justice system a little bit better and is genuinely understanding and patient. Although busy, ...he has always been great about keeping me in the loop about my cases. He is the best lawyer hands down, wouldn’t have it any other way! Highly recommend.

Forever Grateful Mother

It is my pleasure and privilege to highly recommend the legal services of Jules Szanto, Esq. of Szanto Law. Mr. Szanto spearheaded a ferocious defense for multiple charges filed against my daughter and remained her fierce advocate throughout the proceedings. I cannot thank him enough for his leg...al advice, time and efforts. He helped my family through the most difficult time of our lives. He skillfully helped us navigate the daunting criminal justice system, which often left our family feeling powerless. Having Mr. Szanto on our side helped me sleep at night. Words cannot describe his tireless dedication and the genuine care and support showed during the entire process, and for that we will always be grateful. Despite how busy he was, he always found time to check on us, to update us, to send a word of encouragement. And an even greater testament to his work ethic is the fact that despite part of his defense being provided pro-bono, he always made us feel like we were his priority and as if he was part of our family.

The best lawyer I swear.

I got caught with a gun on me in the car september 2016. I spoke to 32 lawyers during frre consultations prior to meeting Mr.Szanto. All of them said the I would get at minimum 6-12 years because of my record and i was on state Parole with back time, with a state detainer. He became my lawyer March 2...017. Mr. Szanto put my mind at ease with visits frequently and laying out the full game plan as it was being developed. He filed filed 2 motions. Thats it. 1 got half of the charges thrown out and the other got the entire cased dismissed June 2017. He is a beast and your money well spent.
