Miracle Worker

I came to Lefteris after several other defense attorneys told me that my situation was hopeless. Lefteris worked a miracle on my behalf - no exaggeration. He saved my career, he saved my retirement, he saved my ability to earn a living, and he kept me out of jail. When I came to him with my probl...ems (4 pending felony and 3 pending misdemeanor charges), he didn't sugarcoat anything. At every step along the way, he made sure I understood that my case was a long-shot, and that I shouldn't expect a positive outcome.. but he plead my case and he convinced the magistrate to continue my charges (effectively suspending the charges without any formal judicial record as long as I don't wind up in legal trouble again within the next year). Simply put, Lefteris kept my mistake from completely derailing my life. I can't recommend him highly enough - not just because he's incredibly knowledgeable and he succeeded, but because of how he treated me. Every time I spoke with Lefteris I felt like he understood how important this issue was for me, and that he had my back. When I got nervous before the hearing, he steadied my nerves. After the hearing, he translated what the magistrate said into what the magistrate actually meant. Having him in my corner through this whole process was an enormous relief, and I would recommend him to anyone who needed a truly great criminal defense attorney. (Note: This review is anonymous because there is no legal record of the problems Lefteris helped me through. It could effectively undo the great work that Lefteris did if I attached my real name to this review.).

Solid Guy all Around

I was jammed up pretty good. Leftheris worked hard, real hard. He's smart, he knows what to ask, he knows the law. I'd for sure recommend him to anyone, heck I trusted the guy to do right by me and he did. I'll add he's straight up honest. Tells you this how it is and this is how it'll go down.

DUI Charges

I hired Attorney Travayiakis to provide counsel in regards to a DUI, Reckless driving, With potential threat to my career and future, it was of paramount importance that I receive a favorable outcome in my situation. Attoreny Travayiakis listened to my concerns and opinions while providing me with ed...ucated counsel. He kept me informed of the process, procedures and filings in every step of the process. I was also informed of any possible outcomes upfront. He made every court appearance, even those I was not required to attend. With his due diligence, outstanding courtroom tactics, at the end I received a favorable jury decision. NOT GUILY! He is very dedicated to the counsel of his clients, proving himself to be a very experienced professional. If you are seeking a legal advisor who genuinely cares about those he provides counsel for, this is the Attorney for you. I found him to be very upfront, reasonable and hands-on. I recommend him very highly.

Responsive and comprehensive

I was arrested on an overzealous Disorderly Conduct charge on a late Friday evening. Saturday morning I placed several calls to local firms seeking representation in court for the arraignment scheduled that next Monday morning at 9am. Eleftherios (Terry) responded to my call first and had me in his o...ffice for a free consultation on Sunday morning. With such short notice, he was able to get a stand-in to move the date of the arraignment hearing to a time when he could represent me fully and fitfully, which obviously was intended to work in my favor, and, in the end, it did, as he was able to get the case dropped as it should have been. Throughout the process, he kept me informed on the details of the case, and was easily reachable and responsive to my questions in a very timely and clear manner. Beyond that, I found him friendly and pleasant to interact with - I never felt any hint of condescension. Also, despite what we both agreed was a minor case, it was always clear he was doing everything in his power to produce the best possible outcome for me in resolving the case. Unfortunately for Terry, I don't plan or expect to need his services again in the future, or tend to associate with people who would either. However, that being said, I would most certainly refer him to a friend or use his services in the future if necessary. Thanks!

"I had the privilege of representing a codefendant in a case with Terry. Actually, Terry had a much more difficult case than mine, but went to trial where his client was found not guilty of all charges. He's the best; smart and well respected amongst his peers. I highly recommend Terry to anyone in need of a serious criminal defense lawyer."
