Donna Carol Santo

Donna Santo of Santo Mehas is a great family law attorney. I went into the process of divorce and child custody with absolutely no knowledge of what to do. When I consulted with Donna over the phone (due to COVID restrictions), I immediately felt at ease with her. She was caring and very knowledgeabl...e about solutions for my case and helped me to not feel helpless in a tough situation. As we have worked more together, my faith and trust in her as my lawyer has grown more due to her actions and wisdom in how to proceed with my case so that there is a positive outcome for everyone involved. She is truly knowledgeable and thoughtful and very much cares about her client’s futures and the major changes in their lives.

I have deep appreciation for my family law attorneys Donna Santo and Michael Mehas.  Thank you so much for your help in my highly complex divorce. I have witnessed the great professionalism with which Donna defends me in Court.  And I appreciate the sincerity, loyalty and moral support that Michael p...rovides to his clients.  He’s always ready to answer questions and take my calls.  I recommend them with 5 stars, as they are simply the best lawyers and family law firm in Ventura County. 

I worked with Donna Santo and Michael Mehas during a divorce process. They both work closely. I worked with Donna through the depths of what were needed and what feels like a vast of amount of details to dot the i’s and cross the t’s so that we are all covered ethically and legally. Donna walked me t...hrough the details, patiently answered my questions, made suggestions for where we had flexibility, negotiated with the opposing counsel expertly and professionally. At the end we completed the process and felt good about it. Thank you Donna and Michael for a job well done.

SANTO MEHAS A Professional Law Corporation Donna Santo Mehas is a very professional lawyer, along with a very professional staff. I was searching for a lawyer familiar with military law, and Donna was the top of the search!! I needed a divorce attorney, and she has amazing military knowledge. S...he kept me up to date on everything and if I did not understand something she was very patient and explained in detail, until I completely understood the situation. When it came down to spousal support, a lump sum was not satisfactory, and Donna "fought" for me until I was awarded a lump sum and full monthly spousal support (we did not have children) and now I am able to live comfortably without worrying if I am going to make ends meet. If you need a professional lawyer, whether or not you need military law, consider Donna Santo Mehas, you will definitely NOT be disappointed!!

Concern for my personal well being through the divorce process was present from our initial meeting. The process was thoroughly described and projections on the length of time to achieve the outcome made clear. The financial projection was painful but provided me time I needed to arrange my assets. I... have the highest recommendations for this office.
