Our Practice

In the day of "cookie cutter" law firms which look to build their practice on simple and uncomplicated matters, the members of Bresset & Santora, LLC have taken a different path.

We have chosen to rely on the qualities of toughness, creative strength, and in-depth professional excellence. This has led our clients and their regular counsel to bring their most serious, complex and difficult legal problems to the respective members of our firm for more than thirty years. In an ongoing effort to preserve that position, we carefully grow and remain a "boutique" firm which offers the highest level of personal attention to each of our clients.

The members of our firm and our support staff have many different backgrounds and wide-ranging experience in both public service and the private sector. We strive to maintain our standing in our respective communities where we live and practice. We have earned a reputation for "personal lawyering" with an unwavering dedication to our clients, and an unswerving adherence to excellence in everything we do.

Over our combined experience of over ninety years we have garnered a reputation for taking on the most demanding and complex litigation and commercial law challenges. These accomplishments in difficult litigation and transactions, include complicated corporate and commercial matters and bankruptcy litigation in some of the most celebrated and demanding matters of the past twenty years.

We have a demonstrated, successful track record in white-collar criminal defense, lender liability and predatory lending matters. The scope of our clients encompasses both individuals and leading businesses. Matters include civil litigation involving important issues of commercial, corporate structure and related litigation, real estate, estate, shareholder derivative actions, securities litigation, civil rights claims, RICO claims, partnership, tax, administrative and general commercial litigation.

Our partners have extensive investigative and prosecutorial experience. As a result our clients have achieved outstanding results when exposed to the justice system of Pennsylvania and local criminal investigations as well as civil licensing proceedings in Pennsylvania and other contiguous jurisdictions.

Our accomplishments for our clients in the field of bankruptcy and creditors' rights are well known. We regularly counsel clients in the practice of corporate law, estate planning and administration, and complex commercial transactions.

We have special expertise in litigation, complex commercial transactions, and transactions involving Bankruptcy matters. We have routinely served as counsel for bankruptcy trustees and creditor committees as well as debtors in complex transactional matters and the interests of secured and unsecured creditors. We have also served as consultants to some of the most complex reorganization proceedings in this region.

Our most reliable source of new clients has been the recommendation of other law firms and satisfied clients. Bresset & Santora, LLC brings to our corporate, commercial, real estate, estates, bankruptcy and complex reorganization clients the same personalized approach that we apply to our litigation matters.

By selecting matters carefully, and, unlike other firms, staffing them sparely, we ensure that our clients deal with the same lawyer throughout a representation. This allows our clients to control their legal costs, and enables us to ensure that our high standards of personalized excellence are maintained in every case.

In this era of the "mega-firm" we offer a highly competent alternative. The routine cases go to other lawyers as we confine our practice to clients whose legal issues require more than others can offer.
