Michael A. Santo Has Been Recognized Among the Top in His Industry by the Expert Network©

​​​​Michael A. Santo, Trial Counsel, Duffy & Duffy, PLLC, has joined The Expert Network, an invitation only service for distinguished professionals. Santo​ has been chosen as a Distinguished Lawyer® based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout his career.

Santo​ outshines others in his field due to his extensive educational background, recognitions, and career longevity. Michael Santo graduated from the New England Law, Boston (formerly New England School of Law), where he was the managing editor of the school’s law journal. He holds a law degree in criminal justice and took part in numerous legal internships at the state and federal level in civil and criminal fields. Mr. Santo is licensed to practice in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, as well as in those states' respective local federal courts.He is currently a Trial Lawyer for Duffy & Duffy, PLLC.

With 34 years dedicated to law, Santo​ brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry, and in particular to his areas of specialization, personal injury and medical malpractice. When asked why he​ decided to go into law, Santo said:

"It was actually an internship with the legal aid society that inspired me to go into law. Just watching the lawyers work in court, using different angles to facilitate their client's position, was really intriguing to me. It's a balance between doing legal research and then speaking, maneuvering, and writing. It's kind of the whole package in terms of making a presentation. Some people can write well. Some people can speak well. Others can plan things. This is kind of a culmination of all three."

What sets Santo apart from his peers is his commitment to development outside of the traditional workspace. He has served on the board of a local non-profit organization that aims to eradicate youth and gang violence, provided pro-bono work to a number of local churches, and initiated and supported several public art projects. His commitment to personal growth has never ceased. He noted:

"It’s interesting because people tend to get into a groove with what they do. But a lot of lawyers just stay in that groove, not knowing that a law degree is probably one of the most versatile degrees one can get. So to get out of the groove and do other things on a personal or business level is fun. It's exciting. And so I've done that in terms of say, for example, art research. I've done that in terms of helping people on a pro-bono level. I've done that in terms of trying to expand my education. For example I'm going to NYU for a certificate in art business. This is all something that is new. I'm doing this not so much to change my entire career but rather to broaden my horizons. Anyone who stops learning stops living."

In addition to his trial work, Mr. Santo is general counsel to the Executive Board of the Order Sons of Italy in New York as well as the Order’s Foundation Corporation and its Commission for Social Justice, the anti-defamation arm of the Order. Mr. Santo is a member of the New York State Bar Association, the New York State Academy of Trial Lawyers, the New Jersey State Bar Association, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and the Nassau County Bar Association.
