Extremely Knowledgeable Attorney

We hired George through the recommendation of my brother, who is also an attorney. George has worked hard and moved quickly to resolve my son's possession case with the most satisfactory outcome. Our case was resolved at a magistrate's hearing before arraignment. His prior experience as an Assistant... District Attorney provides him with insight into the prosecutions' side. He knows what they are looking for and how to prepare for anything that they may throw at you. You would be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable, hardworking, caring, and honest attorney.

Like no other

I hired George after being arrested early last year. The violation did not involve violence or threats of violence, but nonetheless the court handled it very seriously. From the beginning it was implied that I would be in a good deal of trouble, and that permanent damage would be done to my otherwi...se clean record. I was ready to accept this outcome, even though I personally knew that the entire situation had been exaggerated. Fortunately, despite the evidence and statements presented against me, I found someone that believed in me and decided to take my case. For the better part of the rest of the year, George would fight for relentlessly, even when all hope seemed lost. He would absolutely refuse to give up on my case and accept a conviction, and because of his determination my record is clean I can now move on with the rest of my life. A friend of mine who is going through the same legal situation as mine got vastly different results with his lawyer. Their case went to trial and he was charged with a misdemeanor. George never accepted this same fate for me, and because of his unrelenting and genuine concern, my case is being dismissed. His combination of high energy and in-depth knowledge of the law guaranteed the best outcome. But George is more than just an incredible lawyer; he is also a great friend. I was feeling very depressed throughout the trial; being a first-time offender I felt that my life as I knew it was over. Some friends, not knowing the entire situation, gave up on me, and I was putting my family through terrible stress with my predicament. From the beginning George was adamant in reassuring me that everything would work out, and that he wasn't going to give up on the case. Admittedly, at first I thought that his sympathy for me was contrived, but let me assure everyone that it is absolutely not. This man genuinely cares about his clients. He proved it time and time again when he would arrive in court and treated my case as if one of his family members was on trial. When George steps into court you immediately notice that he knows what he's doing. While other lawyers just stagnantly stand around waiting for their case to get called, George moves about court talking to DAs and court officers making things happen. His energy is so apparent that people sitting near me at court would often ask me for his name and contact info. Many times did my friends and other lawyers say that my case would end in a misdemeanor and that there was no way around it. Thankfully, George never believed this, even in the face of unsympathetic judges and DAs. His combination of legal intelligence, diligence and compassion is the reason why I can now put my life back together now. Needless to say, I would highly recommend George.

Top notch!

I can't say enough great things about Attorney Papachristos. First, he preferred to be called George. He never made us feel like he was "better or smarter" than us. He was extremely thorough and kept us informed of every step he was taking. He was always available to answer questions and made sure we... understood what was happening. Our end result was all charges dismissed! This was a case of weed possession and distribution. George's attention to fine detail made this dismissal happen. I don't want to give away his tactics and secrets but please rest assured, he will get the job done. He truly has his clients best interests in mind. Trust and depend on him, you will be thankful. A million thanks go to George! Thank you so much for the fresh start for my son!

Very well prepared and a good listener

We contacted Attorney Papachristos to ask for help with a time sensitive matter on very short notice. He went to work immediately based only on our verbal agreement to hire him during our initial phone call. The same day, we continued to exchange information via email and the next day, Mr. Papachri...stos sent an investigator to our home to interview us (for several hours) and compile a report of the situation. By the morning of the third day Mr. Papachristos had filed a brief and a motion to dismiss with the Judge, so that when we had our hearing in that afternoon, the judge was able to make a well informed decision and quickly dismissed the frivolous claim against our daughter. Throughout a very stressful three days, Mr. Papachristos kept us appraised (via text and email) of what was going on, what we needed to do or be prepared for and assured us that everything was completely covered. The attorney that referred us to Mr. Papachristos said that he did so because he is so meticulous with his preparation. This was true with our experience as well. We were very happy with his thoroughness, communicativeness and caring approach and would not hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him to friends.
