Excellent Attorney

Mr Ioannis Athanasopoulos is a very passionate and professional lawyer. Not only that, but I was extremely surprised to see he is very ethical as well. He handled my case with care and explained to me what was happening every step of the way. He calmed me down and assured me he would do all he could... for me. I really appreciate all his hard work on my case.

Extremely trustworthy and knowledgeable attorney!

Mr. Athanasopoulos showed my case the utmost professionalism and compassion. He knew exactly what to do and really helped to calm my nerves when dealing with the hostile people involved in my case. I was a nervous wreck and my attorney never failed to conduct himself in the most helpful manner. He wa...s extremely knowledgeable and was very thorough and efficient. I greatly appreciated his help and would highly recommend him to future clients.

Lawyer rescues a Business in need

It was end of 2012 when it seemed it was the end for my construction business when a General Contractor wouldn't pay for construction services we provided. We thought it was all lost until we contacted Ioannis. He listened to us patiently and once he knew our entire situation he explained every singl...e step he was going to take to get our money back rightfully deserved. We felt safe with Ioannis as he took every step with precaution and treated it like it was his own business in danger. He was able to have the General Contractor sign a settlement agreement where Ioannis did all the negotiations for us and once the General Contractor failed to pay as per the agreement Ioannis was able to get us back more money then we invoiced for never even stepping a foot in the court or speaking with the General Contractor. Not only did Ioannis save our business he is also our go to guy for any legal advice. He has become more of a friend then a lawyer to us.

HARD WORKING AND PROFESSIONAL ATTORNEY

My husband needed an attorney to handle some outstanding traffic violation tickets to restore his driving privileges back in December 2013. I started researching attorneys specializing in this area & when I got the number to one office I immediately called to discuss the situation. I was told by an... attorney there that he was unable to take on this case at the moment due to a prior case conflict , but was given a call back later one evening from Attorney Athanasopoulos (who now my husband & I are now comfortable enough & allowed to be able to call Johnny). I briefly explained my husband situation & made an appointment for an office visit that weekend. During that initial consultation meeting, Johnny was extremely professional, friendly with good listening skills & sounded confidant that he would be able to handle my husband situation. My husband & I didn't want to continue searching for an attorney wasting time to rectify his situation so by meeting with Johnny and hearing his background with these type of violations we decided to retain him as my husband attorney. Fast forwarding to current day, Johnny has proved his self tremendously. He has been very reliable and responsive to every message-- question and/or concerns that we had regarding this case. He was able to rectify some of the outstanding tickets in court that my husband received & we are extremely thankful. Attorney Athanasopoulos work ethic is impressive. He strives to do all he can to help. It has been a pleasure to work with Johnny thus far & I would recommend his service to anyone who are in need of an attorney.
