He finally got my childs dad to pay.

Tonys office was great. His staff was extremely helpful, and he was able to get my childs father to pay child support after years of him not paying. I would recommend him for any fsmily law issue

Posted by anonymous | July 02, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Great Lawyer. Highly Recommend

I hired Tony’s firm to handle an uncontested divorce. He handled all the paperwork and I didn’t ever have to go to court. He got the judge to allow our final divorce hearing to be on zoom. He’s easy to reach, and moves quickly. Top notch

Mr. De Los Santos is an expert in criminal defense. He didn't back down while other attorneys did not feel capable to fight for my defense. He was consistent and prepared a strong defense unwavering even when the court wanted to proceed relentlessly. He has my highest recommendation!!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
