Biography

I am a passionate attorney that seeks to fight for my clients' interests all the while trying to resolve issues as fast and effectively as possible. There is no better feeling than winning a case for a client whether in divorce court, criminal court or civil court. I like to walk the streets I serve and see my clients who salute me for the work I did for them and build long term relationships. Our aim is to win for our clients and to explain the best way to achieve realistic goals. I have been living in Jersey City for approximately 10 years and have been practicing law in Jersey City, Newark and throughout New Jersey for numerous years. Our main practice areas include: family law, divorce, personal injury, truck accidents, car accidents, pedestrian accidents, passenger injuries, child custody, and domestic violence disputes and crimes associated with these disputes. Prior to opening up my law practice I worked in various business and finance roles in Manhattan.

Legal Answers
Q. Hi, I need consultation, can I get child support and legal custody agreement
A: Yes you can have an agreement. However, you should go through the proper court channels to easily enforce the agreement despite your legal status.

Sincerely,

Santo V. Artusa.

Artusa Law Firm.
Q. Question: Alimony arrears , can Police retirement pension be used to collect? Only N.J. asset as he fled state.
A: What about his bank account? Does he have other assets? His bank account can essentially be "attacked" and the money turned over to you. Have they issued a warrant for his arrest? How much is owed?
Q. Can a case that was heard and ruled on 8 months ago go back to court if I feel ruling was unfair?
A: You would have to file a motion to set aside the order based on what you may believe is fraud/mistake, etc. This usually needs to be filed within 1 year of the order but the sooner the better. Can you prove you did not send that text?
