PRACTICE AREAS

YOU ARE FAMILY, SO EVERYTHING MATTERS.

Family Law

Dealing with family matters is where a helpful and trustworthy lawyer is priceless. Whether it's making a will or powers of attorney to care for loved ones, or guardianships for familiy members that need help, or the ultimate stress involved in divorce, custody, and support, Santos is the sole lawyer for many families in the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County areas. Many look for attorneys that specialize in a particular field. As a country lawyer who you can drop in on any time you are in town, Santos specializes in you.

Traffic Offenses

You can't live in a rural area if you can't drive. The best chance of keeping your license depends in large part on knowing your local court systems, police officers and prosecutors. Santos was raised in the Shenandoah Valley and has deep ties to this area.

Criminal Law

Nothing is more precious than your freedom, but you don't have to go to jail to lose that. Petty criminal convictions also ruin the freedom to get a job, to get a loan, to get educated, and to get respect. In today's world, it is all to easy to be convicted for the most trivial things. With over 20 years of experience and admission to the Bar of the United States Supreme Court, Santos has the confidence of an attorney who has tried over 50 jury trials in local and Federal courts. He understands how important it is to avoid convictions.

Immigration

Santos is the son of immigrant parents and that means a lot to him. It means that he remembers how his family struggled with no one to lean on. It means that he knows no matter how hard life gets here in America, it's better here than anywhere else. It means that he knows how important and how hard it is to start a life in a strange new land and that an honest lawyer can be the difference in creating future and prosperous American families who keep the dream of liberty alive and well.

Small Claims

Hardly anyone is involved in a multimllion dollar suit. But almost all of us will, at one point in our life, be involved in a minor suit, either as a plaintiff or defendant. Whether is it a rent matter, auto matter, contract case, or small business case, Santos has the experience to handle your case.
