George Papachristos

I am so very grateful for George Papachristos’ command of legal procedure, attention to detail and collaborative style. Within the first five minutes of Mr. Papachristos reviewing my divorce case, it was clear that his years as a prosecutor and experience with arbitration could resolve my custody ...battle which had nearly brought me to my breaking point. I am as well, indebted to George’s colleagues for their professional smarts, kindness and tireless work responding to my phone calls, e-mails and paperwork. Collectively, the Law Firm of George Papachristos provided the support and effective teamwork which created the winning strategy. I now have the peace of mind that only a righteous custody agreement can bring to a mother’s hope to serve ‘the best interest of her child’.

I was arrested over a weekend with a state holiday the following Monday and was really in a pinch for time. I called Mr. Papachristos' office and reached the voicemail, the voicemail message gave an emergency contact number. I had reached out to a number of attorneys by this point and had not heard b...ack so I decided to call the emergency number and learned it was Mr. Papachristos' cell phone. In the scheme of things I did not believe my call was an emergency however it felt like one to me. George called me back in under an hour, on what was presumably his day off as it was a state holiday. He gave me time to explain my situation, listened, gave me feedback, as well as helped me relax a little bit(I had court the very next morning). George was very easy to talk to and had a positive attitude on the phone which helped a lot. He basically told me what my options were and told me how to handle court the next morning, without asking for payment or anything. George let me know that he could get an attorney there for me in the morning however I really didn't need one and I should be all set if I followed his advice. He advised on how I should plea as well as what the next steps would be. Due to George's advice my case actually ended up being dismissed, which was a better outcome than I expected my best case scenario would be! I had been contacted by another attorney prior to George calling, the other attorney sounded much less hopeful on the phone and told me that I should have an attorney with me at court in the morning and talked about his fees. Never did George mention payment once. I can't say enough good things about Mr. Papachristo's professionalism and helpfulness in my scenario. The reviews everyone leaves about him tell all in my opinion. I will be saving all of his contact information in case I am ever in need of an attorney!

The worst mistake I've ever made was getting involved in this case, but the best decision I made after it was coming to George! I had a larceny case of more than $250 which could have been considered a felony charge. Luckily I just received a magistrate's hearing and I knew I'd do everything I can t...o keep my record clean as it had been. I spent hours researching attorneys on this website, as well as on yelp and google. I even took note of their ratings, clients' reviews, and stats, etc. in a spreadsheet. After talking to about five attorneys who I seriously considered to hire, I decided to work with George. He was not only very professional but also personable and pleasant to work with throughout the process. I was informed of his plan and his progress. If he couldn't pick up my phone call, I'd receive his call or text message within an hour. Every time we discussed (including the initial consultation), I felt better and more knowledgeable, which led to being more confident and less worried of the process. He was very attentive, detail-oriented, and sensible. Those qualities, among other things, I believe are key to help people win in negotiations (and persuasion, in this case). Being a former prosecutor, he also understand the perspectives of the people now on the other side of his (ours). He seems to know when to be "the beast" and when not :) The case lasted for about ten minutes, was dropped and the court cost I had to pay was almost nothing. This was even better that I had expected. By the way, his fee was very reasonable too! Reviewing the whole process, I can't think of anything that could have been better!

I was contacted by a local detective. informing me she was going to file a criminal complaint against me. I was on the verge of being charged with a Larceny case. I immediately contacted Attorney Papachristos. He returned my phone call within minutes. He had me go by the office and gathered all my i...nformation. Afterwards he made contact with the detective . He scheduled an appointment to speak with her. within days he was able to difuse the situation therefore avoiding a charge being filed against me. I never even had to go court! This meant a lot to me as a criminal complaint of this scale would've been detrimental to my career. His promptliness and attention to detail on this case was remarkable. The fact that Attorney Papachristos is a former DA gives him an upper hand as he understands how the law works from all sides of the spectrum. He is familiar with all the strategies and tactics that the opposing parties may try to use to present their case therefore giving him a large advantage in this chess battle of law. His expertise and former experience as DA leaves me such at ease as his client. With out a doubt if I could choose one phrase to Describe attorney Papachristos and his team it would be: Peace of mind...

I do believe that George was a man of his word he is a very caring and understanding and compassionate person George help me with my case my charge was driving after suspension this was my third offence which could have ended my one year in the house of correction and be of George knowing so much ab...out the laws and with him a lawyer for 11 years he helped me with my case and I had no suspended sentence no probation I had 6 months continue what I will say this lawyer I would highly recommend to anyone who is in need of a defense lawyer I will also add he answered any and all questioned I had throw out the hole thing George awesome thanks so much.
