Hardest working attorney I have ever met

My case cannot be more complicated than a tv show. From domestic violence to restraining order to divorce to child custody. I was helpless, I went to few attorneys and after they look at the paper I have they threw it on the table and gave me a look like I'm the most idiot person they have ever met. ...My boyfriend got me and appointment with him and I was like ok let see. He came and sat down with me and after listening to me for 45 minutes he said first thing we have to do is to keep you and your daughter safe! Wait, someone actually realize that there is a child in between? And yes that is Yianni! He took my case and never talk about money. He work hard over time I remember talking to him at 11pm after he draft the paper work and called me to make sure every detail is correct. John/Yianni is an attorney you can trust, it's like talking to your best friend at the same time he do his best to help you get out in what ever situation you are in by hook. I highly recommend him to anyone who needed an attorney.

Extremely Responsive and Professional

We have been working with John since 2012 and we have been extremely happy with his services. John assisted us with drafting our company’s contractual agreements for the technology services, which we are providing, in addition to a business formation. We had a lot of questions throughout the overall ...process, and John happily answered all of them promptly and pointed us in the right direction. I would definitely recommend John, he is very effective, reliable and caring.

Extremely reliable, trustworthy, and hardworking Attorney!

Attorney Athanasopoulos, or John as I have called him for the last 11 years, is probably the hardest working person that I know! John is very dedicated to his practice and he is client centered. Often times people have difficulty trusting attorneys, but John is extremely honest and trustworthy. John ...is extremely educated and continues to strive everyday to learn more. No matter what the situation, whenever I have a legal issue the first person I call is John.

You can't find anyone else better

Ioannis is the type of person that puts his entire being into whatever it is he does. In a field where one finds many to be jaded and disillusioned, it is absolutely refreshing to find a man who takes every case personally, and as a result, works tirelessly and relentlessly to provide the best serv...ice he possibly can. If there's anyone I want helping me, it's Ioannis.

Trustworthy lawyer with extensive knowledge!

Relationship: Attorney Client Ioannis is a well rounded great lawyer to have who encompasses a wide range of knowledge across many disciplines. He was very trustworthy and always attended to my needs, questions, and concerns. He made me feel extremely comfortable as his client about my case. He loo...ks at each and every detail and extensively researches the law to always find alternative views and provides great perspective. He was readily available to assist any matter. He delivered all information on a timely basis and always kept me informed. I never felt like I was asking too many questions. Most importantly, he relayed information very accurately and did not lead me on in any way but also worked extremely hard to find resolutions to problems that were very difficult and almost hopeless. Ioannis delivered impeccably and was able to arrive at great resolution. I would highly recommend him to be anyone's lawyer.
