Donna and her staff are great at guiding a case and reducing contention.

Donna Santo and Patricia Lamas did a great job on my divorce, steering and guiding me on matters when possible, insisting that I take other actions when necessary. They kept the case on track, knew which options were optimal, and responded well to my preferences for proceeding. They kept legal bills ...to a minimum as they worked expertly on my behalf, using their extensive experience and good relationships with other lawyers to reduce contention. Their office staff, especially Chad Hogan, were always helpful, and billing was always fair.

I recomend Donna Santo and her staff

Donna and her staff are professional with decades of experience. They understand the law and how family law cases are heard in the courts. I had an extremely complex custody case with dozens of health professionals, collateral contacts, and opinions floating around. There were so many accusations,... crisis, and charges; and every one of them felt extremely important to me. My concerns were serious, and the innumerable quantity along with counter accusations overwhelmed the courts. Donna's office was able to sift through and make sense of things to help get things on track. Donna's office took the time to understand my concerns, had concern for my children, and was able to relate this to the courts in a logical digestible manner for the best possible outcome. It took time. I needed to trust. She knows her stuff, and is strong at the right times.
