Santo V Artusa

I never hired an attorney who cared as much as Santos did

Santo was very aggressive in defending me in a tro case in jersey city.

Mr Santo is a great attorney and I was very happy we worked together on my case. I hired him after I fired my first two lawyers who kept stalling my case, Mr. Artusa took charge and did great.

Absolute waste of money and time. I've had a case open for 3 years and spent easily for $2,000 for it. Vow I receive no responses, no messages no, nothing from this lawyer. He took my money and left me nothing for help with my case. He steals my money. He is a very bad person. This is money thieve he is not lawyer

Very unprofessional and cheater. Liar and wasted our 45 days, most importantly our precious time.Took the money and didn't do anything. Lied that he did file the case but the matter of fact he didn't.Don't return messages or phone calls.Must be reported to unethical practice and New Jersey Bar Association. Definitely stay away from him!! I am editing due to his response. Its not about fast, its about lying and cheating. He said" he filed the case and waiting for the date" After few weeks we received a letter from court that your case will be dismissed if you if you don't file and submit the documents etc He is so unprofessional, clients please stay away from him. If you value your time and money

NOT RECOMMENDED! I needed an attorney for a complicated family law issue. He took retainer and then did not respond for weeks. Missed scheduled appointments and calls with client. Brief and communications drafted were riddled with typos and grammatical errors. Did not respond timely to opposing attorney citing his own personal reasons for lack of professional response. When asked to cease services took over 2 months to send statement. When statement arrived it had incorrect dates and inflated billing. Overall highly disorganized, unable to handle case load in a timely or efficient manner, not effective, and in the end took unsubstantiated fees.

After getting my money for the retainer he took off. Over time when I realized I was getting the run around and no court date for 3 months then the manipulation began. No calls, no emails, total disregard. DO NOT RETAIN THIS LAWYER. He speaks charming and puts on an act that he is concerned but he truely wasnt and clearly did not care. Be aware because it just may done to you. I should have known when his office was something off horders...paperwork on the floor with a foul odor. I should have left but he was eager to get my money and even had the audacity to ask for $2,500 when I haven't seen any substantial steps not got a court date. This lawyer is dedinetly a scam artist. I repeat...DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY.

He took my money, never did the job. After 10 months he promised me a refund. He never gave me the refund. I sued him in small claims court for the money. We agreed to a settlement which he breached. I now have to seek a judgement. He is a crook!

I went to Santo for a divorce. He also said he would do a restraining order hearing. He quoted me a flat fee for everything. He ended up doing very little work. He did not even reach out and contact the other attorney. After he was fully paid - he then kept asking me for more money even though he stated he would do a flat fee.
After refusing to pay him he went to the judge to have me dropped as a client. At this point he was doing nothing at all finalize divorce. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL
