Very professional and helpful!
From the moment I reached out for help Anthony was very responsive, helpful, and very professional. Divorce is never something anyone wants to go through so finding a mediator that was so attentive and sincere was a big plus for me. I am very grateful for all of Anthony's knowledge and guidance along the way. I would definitely recommend Anthony's services to anyone looking. Thank you!

It was Anthony's demeanor on my first research call that led me to meet with and hire him and to have faith in the collaborative divorce process. At the time, I wasn't sure which type of divorce would be best. The white paper available on his website really helped me to understand. I was a little concerned since he does charge for the first consultation unlike others. However, during that first face to face visit, I realized that he was adept not only in the collaborative process but also had experience as a mediator. He listened carefully and due to his many years of experience, made a spot-on assessment of my marital situation after a mere half hour. He walked me through the process and let me choose mediated or collaborative, yet he gave me the right clues to make the best decision. I really felt like he knew his stuff and I could trust him to get this done in an cost efficient yet effective way. I hired him right then.The divorce process isn’t easy, but Anthony always kept his cool, made it simple at the core, and advocated the best for me during the Collaborative Divorce Process. I really appreciated that.

Thank you Brenda, Clients have always been very appreciative of how I handle their Divorce Consultation. My goal is to answer all questions, no matter how long it takes, and to suggest the best divorce process. Divorce is difficult and I try to make it a little easier with information that is helpful and often necessary. Good luck to you. Anthony

Professional, Caring, Knowledgeable, and Effective
I could not recommend a better family lawyer than Attorney Adamopolous. He was easy to connect to, responsive to my outreach, open and understanding of my situation, helped me to fully understand the processes involved with the legal proceedings, and most importantly helped me manage my anxiety around it all. As difficult as it was to split my family, it was more difficult not being on the same page as my ex and then needing to go to court to get things arranged. She was asking for everything under the Sun in regards to moneys for after school programs, summer programs, insurance, and regular support (which was a high number by itself). She tried to make it that I would have to work 3 jobs to deliver what she claimed to be her (and the kids) legal rights. I went to Anthony after a recommendation and i am glad i did, as he was able to listen to my issues and situation, look over the requests, negotiate with her lawyer, and get things down to a doable and fair agreement, one where the kids were fully taken care of and I wasn't being stretched beyond imagination. The dynamics with my ex are not the greatest, but at least the details around support and sharing custody are clear. Anthony knows his stuff, was empathetic and understanding, and he worked hard for me, I appreciate that. I would definitely work with him again if needed.

Easy to Navigate the Divorce Process
“Anthony and Donna made a very difficult life event easy to navigate, and they were always very responsive to my questions.”
Response from Anthony Adamopoulos October 4, 2018
Thank you so much Lisa. Navigating life is not always so easy, especially navigating in the darkness of divorce. We are glad that we could be a constant compass during the process.

Terrific listener, thinker, and enabler.
I would recommend Anthony to prospective clients who want a knowledgeable, experienced coach to help them help themselves with a legal problem. That is just what he did for me in working through the difficulties of my divorce. I couldn't have found anybody better and I will be forever thankful for his help.

Eric, Thank you for the kind description of “Terrific listener, thinker and enabler.” However, Eric, it was you who listened. It was you who thought. And, it was you who became enabled. Good job. Anthony

experienced and knowledgable
As a divorce professional, I highly recommend Anthony Adamopoulos as a mediator and arbitrator for all matters relating to divorce. His many years of experience in divorce law, the mediation process and the process of arbitration makes it easy to refer to this professional. His goal is always to resolve an issue fairly, quickly and in a cost efficient manner.
