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.

Ralph Santoro took on my case after three years and a series of bad faith mediation negotiations from a recalcitrant "other side" in a divorce that had reached a stalemate. Even though I had been forced financially and physically out of a jointly held family business in an attempt to leverage... an unfavorable settlement, Mr Santoro advocated mightily to restore my standing and facilitated a favorable outcome for me . I am now happily divorced, and financially stable, with many, many thanks.
