Mr. Santoro is a consummate professional, who devotes careful, time, thought, and empathy to his clients. His work on my case demonstrated that he is a fierce adversary and advocate, and does so with a quick wit, and mastery of the law, rather than bombastic meltdowns characteristic of lesser attorneys. It is without reservation, that I recommend him and his staff, as I was pleased with his meritorious motion practice and continued successful litigation on my behalf.

I retained Steve and his staff to represent me and protect myself and my children from a husband and father who was abusive and suffering from mental health issues . He and his partner Sarah tried my case with great success and in a 30 page custody decision we were protected.

Stephen M. Santoro, esq. is professional, empathetic, and resourceful. He has over 35 years experience. He works well with both males and females THAT ARE HONEST. I stress honesty. He will diligently defending with evidence based evidence. The person below my comments obviously was not his client and I am sorry. Walk the walk and Stephen M. Santoro, esq will defend you to the end. My son was his client, and when you think men do not have rights. Stephen M. Santoro, esq will find justice for you. Good luck. Sincerely, Laura Davis, LCSW

This man should not be practicing! He is a misogynist. Santoro fell for my ex husbands " poor me" she done me wrong b.s. I could have represented myself better. Thankfully it wasn't solely in his hands. I wish I read the previous reviews. No star applies!!

Mr. Santoro and his firm represented myself in a difficult custody battle. My ex husband was and remains a mentally ill and vindicitive individual The case was tried with expertise and compassion in Dutchess County over months. The result is that myself and my children are safe and well and protected from emotional harm that was being inflicted before I hired Santoro & Scigliano to help and protect us. They could not have been more caring or proficient. Our sincere thanks to him his partner and their staff. The best of the best.

Mr Santoro represented me in an acrimonious divorce proceeding in 2006. He went so far above and beyond what most lawyers do it was difficult to fathom. He is exactly what a lawyer should be. He is an effective advocate who can modulate his approach when and where necessary. Aggressive , ethical, fearless. He led the way and helped me navigate through a very difficult and stressful process. I would recommend him unequivocally to anyone. He kept me informed every step of the way and treated me with the utmost respect. He is a credit to his profession and a blessing to his clients.

The "fraud" posting was done by my ex-spouse after Mr. Santoro very successfully represented me in uncovering his assets and having the appropriate amount of money awarded to my children and me. His "cash" business was appropriately valued and distributed Mr. Santoro never represented him. He has chosen to launch a false slander campaign and I understand a defamation suit has been filed. Mr. Santoro is being falsely criticized by an adversary posing as a client. What a shame (or sham).

He has got to be the absolute worst lawyer in the country- a complete sham! Everything bad you hear about lawyers applies to him- a disgrace and an imposter!! I won't even use the word attorney- it doesn't apply to him. I'm surprised former clients aren't picketing outside his office- it must be illegal to protest on that residential block. His so called firm doesn't even have a website- what does that tell you? I predict he will not be practicing much longer- STEER CLEAR.

he handled my divorce 3 years ago and all enforcement and contempt proceedings

Mr. Santoro was very responsive to our legal concerns in dealing with Family Court.Our daughter was on PINS.My wife and myself exercised bad judgement in regards to our daughter concering a certain issue.This error carried legal ramifications. He listened to my wife and myself, and calmed our fears. He developed a strategy in coping with the legal issues that we faced. He was able to successfully resolve the legal issues without puntive action taken against my wife and myself.
