Donna fought for me and she will fight for you.

I have a pretty complicated case that needed a lot of things done quickly and Donna was able to not only get them done but she knocked it out of the park and I am very happy with the outcome. She is also great at communicating things throughout the process in a way that I could understand.

Donna's Outstanding Knowledge

Donna and Michael are outstanding, I was referred to their office and as soon as I retained their services the legal nightmare I was in was over and the tone changed from the other party immediately. Donna will not lead you into a false sense in pursuing an unrealistic outcome. Donna achieved a ver...y fair ruling and straightened out lots of dishonesty in my case against the other party which was much needed.

Review for Donna Santo

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.

Great Military Law Experience!!!

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!!
