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.

Experienced, Caring, and Honest

The SantoMehas team has been exceptional in handling my case. They are very experienced, have given me good advice and representation, and they have worked on my particularly complex case almost as if I were family. They have shown support beyond professionally, but also personally. Even on my consul...tation call, I felt Donna's caring concern. Michael has been a wonderful support during this horrible ordeal, always fighting for me and the well being of my kids. Donna and Michael have stood up for me and made apposing council take a step back from their aggressive and dominating tone in my case. They truly want to help you and try to find the most reasonable outcome for you, while being realistic as well. They have worked with me financially, and are very fair and understanding. I would definitely recommend their firm for anyone who needs family law assistance!

Honest

My family had a wonderful experience with Donna and Michael. They were always very professional and extremely honest. It was a difficult time for my children and I, but their expertise made it all bearable.

Great lawyers

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.

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.
