Knowledgeable and cares about clients

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.

Supportive and Professional

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.

Thank you, Chris, we so much appreciate your kind words. We had a lot of work to do with your case but you were a wonderful client who understood exactly what needed to be done to get through a very difficult time. We wish you great luck with your business, family, and all that you do.

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.
