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.

The Lebron James of Criminal Law

I highly recommend this lawyer for any criminal case or any case for that matter. I personally hired him to help me with a couple of criminal cases and he ended up assisting me in another matter as well. His firm also does family law and his legal partner Mary Ellen was super helpful for any family l...aw questions I had. They’re both great- friendly and professional. I come from a family of lawyers so I’m very picky about who represents me and needless to say, I was not disappointed. Because of his background as a DA, George has a really great perspective and understanding of how the court system works. There will never be a time where he will say, “I’m too busy for you”. He answered every call and every question I had. super professional and organized. Great memory. I hate having to tell people things more than once and with George, I need not worry. The other thing that I liked about GP is that although he carries himself with a very professional demeanor, he still manages a certain level of empathy and compassion that is imperative with the type of cases I had. I never felt judged by him or looked down upon- a rarity in this system. Very refreshing to see someone with post nominals attached to their name act like a human being who cares. I think that it is for this reason, the fact that he is passionate about what he does, that my cases ended up getting resolved In the best way possible. I was so discouraged and hopeless before having him represent me. The counsel I had prior to hiring George wanted me to “plead out” and told me that I would never get out of this situation without destroying my record or worse, doing jail time. Upon hiring George, he remained calm and optimistic whilst still being a realist. He never made me extravagant promises, but he always said he would do the best he could do and he did so without question. In fact, the outcome of all 3 cases was better than I could have even imagined. Also, he’s just as good looking in person as he is in his photo online! Also a rarity in this world. I figured that if I’m paying for legal services and facing jail time, I might as well get a good looking lawyer. Was not disappointed lol

Lucky

My family was lucky to have found Attorney Papachristos, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. My son was involved in a case that had been open for over a year. With his case being scheduled for trial I began the search for an experienced defense attorney. After meeting George for the first... time I walked out of his office knowing my son had the best representation and was in safe hands. Attorney Papachistors immediately went to work on my son case. My son and I arrived at his next court date expecting to be leaving the courthouse with a future trial date being set. Three hours later the judge was dismissing the case. After 15 months, multiple court dates, and a great deal of stress George had the case dismissed in three hours. Watching George do his job was a site to see. It was evident all of his years as a prosecutor prepared him to be an exceptional defense attorney. Likewise you could see George had a great deal of respect from his peers and colleagues at the Quincy Court. It honestly felt as if we were being represented by a family member. It was clear George genuinely cared about my son's well being. Throughout the process he was understanding, polite, responsive, caring, prepared, just a complete professional. Thank you George

criminal defense lawyer

George went above and beyond any expectations we had for a criminal defense attorney. He was responsive, transparent, respectful, used great judgment, strategic, professional and had great communication skills. He navigated the court system with ease and expertise and kept my family and I informed of... all possibilities, at all times. In what was a very difficult moment for my family and I he demonstrated compassion and was genuinely invested in pursuing the best possible outcome. I whole heartedly and without any reservations recommended his services to anyone looking for an expert at his trade. Thank you times eternity George!
