Ralph Thomas Santoro Jr.

Ralph helped me with a very escalated child-custody situation, with results that exceeded my wildest expectations. He was extremely organized, responded to my multiple emails, phone calls, and inquiries quickly, concisely, and patiently (including on evenings and weekends), and guided me through the ...difficult and stressful process. Ralph excels at being objective, prepared, succinct, and goal-oriented with his outcomes. He prepped me for mediation, making sure I knew important points to discuss. He validated my concerns and guided me to focus on facts and details that helped my case, and he was able to help me keep emotion out of the equation (which is difficult, if not impossible, when your child is involved). When my situation required aggressiveness, he was not afraid to act quickly and forcefully, resulting in the opposing party having to concede to our requests/demands. His knowledge of the court systems, processes, procedures, and timelines helped me tremendously, as this was all new terrain for me. Ralph is intelligent, engaged, wants his clients to get their desired outcome, and genuinely cares about his work. He is assiduous and confident in a manner which best serves his clients--when in court or dealing with opposing counsel, one must seek an attorney that will go to bat 150%--this is Ralph.

When one is faced with an insurmountable battle, one must chose their advisor wisely. I could not have asked for a better advocate. Mr. Santoro is diplomatic, intelligent, gentile, and confident. His ability to describe, in layman terms, the process of which we undertook, allowed me peace of mind. An...d although I was a terrible person to be around at times, Mr. Santoro exhibited great diplomacy with myself, my ex, and the opposing lawyer. He took upon himself a case of great difficulty, assisting me in not only a custody case, but also a child welfare case. Mr. Santoro researched every possible angle and was honest with me, even if it meant we might have to compromise. It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Santoro during such a difficult time and I would recommend his services to any person in need of legal assistance or advice.
