George epitomizes Humility, Generosity, Professionalism, and Hard workmanship!

There is a very thin line between being a free person living your life earnestly, quietly and responsibly, to being a defendant of serious charges that may not only threaten your freedom, but ruin your record and the rest of your life. False accusations can be scary to say the least.. As a victim ...of some malicious allegations, like many would, i scattered, panicked, pondered and, just didn't know what to do. Finding myself in an unexpected legal cobweb and everything happening so fast, I felt hopeless. Without getting into much detail, a lot in my life was at stake. The process of seeking legal representation was just as stressful. Researched, read a ton of reviews on many lawyers on avvo, called and spoke with them and also did meet with some. While on avvo, I narrowed my choices to a few but there was something that kept pulling me back to attorney George's profile. It clearly stood out. Him being a former prosecutor and how he deployed that vast experience in fighting to protect his clients was the sort of i knew i needed. The things his clients would say about him were outstanding. I called his office and Georgie who handles office matters scheduled me in for an appointment. While there, i also met Mary Ellen, who's also a co-counsel to George. She was very courteous and upon meeting and speaking with attorney George, i was sold. He was exactly what i was looking for. He listens very patiently, and tactfully analyses your case and with honesty, he assures you with one thing - giving his absolute best to fighting and protecting you. He is an empathetic, kind and generous man. He comforts you like a father would his child. He shares his clients pain. For a man of his experience and workmanship, DESERVES WAY WORTH THAN HE'S DUE, but apparently that's not how he sees or carry himself. A very grounded and down-to-earth man. Attorney George never slaps high fees than what his clients can afford. His office works humanely and patiently with you without making you feel the pressure in the your wallet. From since I met and hired him to represent me, I got intrigued by the values this man embodies, so I decided to read more about him. I've read his postings on his company Facebook page - very educative and informative - and some articles written about him. One that stood out for me was "The Reformer" which is an MSLAW Magazine written in the summer of 2010 while he was still an ADA. He was being interviewed, and speaking about his job, he did say "The job is a difficult one, Money is not a motivating factor. Dealing with victims and their families is troubling... Just hearing that 'thank you for caring', although making me sad, reinforces my belief that my dedication to this job is making a difference" (p. 8). He also went on to say "...doing what you love may be more important than what you make. I know it is a cliche, but it is true. Many of my friends make a lot of money than i do but are not happy..." (p. 9). Those words rang a loud bell in my mind. They clearly show the kind of man he is. He was an ADA when he made those statements, and he truly still hold those values today while in private practice. They are evident to those that know him! I have a personal testimony to that effect which I would rather keep to myself at this time. I could go on and on, but I will conclude with this; If you ever find yourself in a legal dilemma, no matter how big or small, reach out to attorney George - and pray that he takes your case. He only takes cases that he believes are worth his time and effort, not 'your money'. I'm very thankfully for attorney George not just for what he does, but for who he is as a man.

Double kidnapping, armed robbery and larceny over 250 case Dismissed

Truly the most knowledgable and strategic attorney I've ever dealt with in my life. Perhaps the fact that Attorney Papachristos was a former DA had alot to do with his vast knowledge of the system and law on both sides. Times like these and charges like these are frightening. I never felt safer the...n under the retainment of Attorney George P. For starters he managed to reduce my bail from 250k down to 5k . And was able to get me out of jail within just a few days.. Despite the fact that I still had a case pending out of Norfolk county. There on after each court case was a step forward by convincing the courts to allow his motions. I was facing charges of double armed robbery, impersonating an officer , 2 counts of kidnapping and larceny over 250. The first few courts dates he was able to get the double armed robbery dismissed and thrown out from the case . The end zone became to look alot clearer after that. In the end my case was headed for trial and Attorney George P. Was able to get the entire case thrown out based on 5th ammendment issues he uncovered from the other party. The amount of work and hours this legal team put into my case was above and beyond whatever I ever expected. It was almost a task just reading through the motions and the details that were outlined and highlighted from the extensive amount of information put in. I've never ever had an attorney fight so damn hard for my case. He was recommended by a good friend of mine that knows some of the highest ranking attorneys in Boston and they personally said that George Papachristos might just be "the best " and or #1 in criminal defense in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. God do I really appreciate those folks for their recommendation. My advice to anyone reading this is if you want to secure beating your case without a shadow of a doubt DO NOT RISK your freedom by going elsewhere. Papachristos team is comprised of former DA's that all review and fight your case to the fullest and are proven to get results . I've never met a more zealous attorney and or legal team ever. I'm so glad I made the decision to sign on with this law firm. Peace of mind has no price .

Exceeded expectations

I was a very nervous mother with a 21 year old son who got an A&B charge. He is attending college and I was so anxious this would effect his schooling and future work options. I was impressed that George Papachristos had experience as a District Attorney and prosecutor and knew his way around a cou...rt room. George and his staff were incredible, reliable, supportive and professional. We got the desired result and charges were dismissed. I can breathe again and would highly recommend George Papachristos. Thank you for being there for my family during this trying time.

Amazing Attorney

Before I hired George as my lawyer I was representing myself and getting no where. After hiring him he has helped and been amazing through out my case. His office staff is wonderful with returning emails and calls. I would highly recommmend George to anyone else who is looking for an attorney.

George is a very professional attorney who will stop at nothing to fight for his clients.

I obtained George recently for a few different reasons/cases. A close family member had wanted me to have the best possible attorney, with “winning” results.. after doing extensive research on both George and several other attorney’s she came to the conclusion that without question, George was the on...ly attorney for me. George had almost instantly gotten back to me and after assessing me as a person, and information about the cases, he agreed to take me on as a client. George is a very honest and stand up kind of guy, who in my opinion represents people who he believes are generally ”good” at heart and worthy of his time. By this I mean, George will fight very hard for his clients, is very empathic and takes on that of which his clients do, good and bad. Meaning if you are negatively affected by something, so is he. He wants nothing but the best for you and will stop at nothing to see you through. George has represented me at this point, about 5 times at court, all of which went better than I would have expected with the best possible outcome. Recently was the one of the most important hearings and I truly believe, I couldn’t have done it without him. George is a terrific guy, very supportive, intelligent and kind. I would also like to add that his staff both of whom I have met (his associate) and also Georgie, were extremely helpful as well throughout this whole process. Georgie handles much of the calls and information processing etc. etc. is such an amazing woman! She is always so kind and doing whatever she can to help. While there is one remaining matter we are waiting to go forward on, I am completely confident George will handle it in the exceptional way he always does. I have had a few private attorneys in the past that while they were good, I didn’t have the same results or determination I experienced with George. George is overall incredible in so many ways at what he does and I would definitely without question, recommend him to anyone in need of hiring private counsel. I was never once disappointed or let down in any way, rather grateful and even blown away at how well he handled each and every aspect of the cases. He is very well liked and respected everywhere he goes, from court officers, to attorneys, district attorneys as well as the honorable judges present. Thank you so much George for everything you have done for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney and I am so grateful for you and your position reguarding these matters in my life!
