Mr. Sean

I hired George Papachristos for my case regarding an accident I had. No one was hurt and there was no property damage. However, the trooper that took over an hour and a half to arrive on seen after the tow truck decided to charge me with everything possible. I felt powerless and targeted from the ...accusations. I contacted multiple traffic lawyers. 2 of which referred me to George Papachristos. I contacted his office and his staff was very professional. After I spoke with George Papachristos about the case. He then listened, asked questions, and gave me an honest and unflinching assessment. In between us speaking and the hearing date himself and his team spoke and emailed me for pertinent facts to the case and also my background. Speaking with George over this time led me to know he was invested in helping his clients to the best of his ability. In the days nearing my hearing George Papachristos and I spoke about the events and also pertinent things to my character and case. Throughout all this with every interaction we had he displayed a level of personal invest in his clients welfare and future I have never seen in any other legal counsel. On the day of the hearing we met at the court house. Went over the case in detail again and any factors regarding it. Then of character and relevant personal matters that pertained. We were called in for the hearing. George Papachristos Expertly questioned the validity of the charges. Then easily transitioned into my character and the possible severity of the case going forward. Then he again expertly read the room and proposed a compromise that I could not have hoped for. Which was approved by the magistrate. If you need a counselor that is highly competent, and is more invested in helping you than billing hours George Papachristos is the one for you.

Best Guy I Know

George is one-of-a-kind and if I could give him more than 5 stars, I would! He is patient, amicable, and communicates extremely well. Coming highly recommended by a very close friend, when I was first charged with an OUI on a clean record, he worked tirelessly on my case. About 16 months and one bad ...decision later, I was charged with the same offense again (first case still open) which effectively could have resulted in up to 90 days in prison. Not only did George answer my weekend-morning call with such urgency and care, he then worked the remainder of the weekend on my case to be well prepared for a court appearance on Monday morning. What could have essentially put a temporary end to life as I know it, turned in to something I felt able to take on, thanks to George.

Criminal citations dismissed from vehicular accident

I had gotten in a pretty bad single-person car accident earlier on in the year, and ended up completely destroying 2 cars. Thankfully, no one was physically harmed but I did leave the accident with 2 criminal citations. Panicked, I started looking around for lawyers to advise me on what I should do n...ext (since this was the first time that something like this has ever happened to me). I came across George Papachristos's profile (on Avvo, actually!) and the reviews were outstanding. And from hiring him, he certainly lives up to this reputation! He was incredibly talented, reliable, and communicative from the time I hired him till the present. At the end of the day, I got the peace of mind that I was searching for. Thank you for having my back!

Speechless and Thankful

After being coerced/forced into putting my daughter (16 and 1/2 years old) into voluntary custody of DCF months ago, all while going through a divorce, I am glad George came into my life. My daughter has a main diagnosis of Autism along with other issues, sensory, OCD, anxiety, shy bladder. Havin...g these diagnosis' she has her share of struggles. When she was not functioning at her best (because of her disabilities), I was blamed, as the mom, the finger has always pointed to me, which is furthest from the truth, I am the only one who tried to do the right thing for her. It is always easiest to blame the mom, the main caregiver, while the dad has done nothing to care for our daughter over the years, he has not seen her for parenting time since December of 2017. George agreed to represent me at the 6 month DCF review board meeting and my daughter is coming home this week. During the review board meeting George was professional and was able to speak for me when no one wanted to hear my voice. You cannot blame a caregiver for someone else's disabilities/struggles. George is honest, professional, continuously keeps you up-to-date on the case, listens and is beyond caring which is important in a time of uncertainty in your life. Before being referred to George I had lawyers representing me in my divorce case for a year and a half and George Papachristos and his legal partner, Mary Ellen, have done more for me in the past 7 weeks than my past Attorney's did in 1.5 years. I also have to thank Georgie, the Office Manager, she welcomed me with open arms and is so supportive. My daughter is ecstatic to be home, as am I, and she has a second chance to live her life, in her home, where she feels safe with her dog. I am looking forward to seeing what is to come in the weeks ahead in moving forward to finalize my divorce. Thank you.
