This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommend

Anna Stathis successfully represented me against a false complaint filed against me. Through persistent, insightful letters combined with aggressive discussions with the defendant's attorney, she was able to have the complaint withdrawn. I would definitely turn to Anna Stathis again if there were ano...ther situation where I needed legal counsel.

An outstanding Attorney!

For three decades, Anna M. Stathis, Esq. has provided excellent legal assistance to me and my family. We have found that she brings legal as well as practical insight.to her cases. For example, she once represented me in a medical malpractice incident. Her persistence, legal knowledge and outstandi...ng communication, including powerful letters and verbal discussions with the defendant’s lawyer, resulted in a substantial settlement for me. Through well thought out questions, she was able to draw out relevant and detailed information from me regarding the injury. Through the narratives she created, she proved that the medical practitioner had caused me an enormous amount of pain and anguish and that they needed to be held accountable. I always felt that she was truly fighting for me. On multiple other occasions, Ms. Stathis provided me with excellent legal counsel on employment related issues If another situation arose where I needed legal assistance, I would immediately reach out to her. I highly recommend her Mary

Employee Handbook

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Stathis on an Employee Handbook for my business. She was very professional and knowledgeable about the legal language I needed to use, as well as, keeping the messages simple. I would work with her again in the future and recommend her for your legal needs.

Thoroughness and Thoughtfulness Lead to Pleasant Encounter

I have worked with Anna M. Stathis, Esq. on two separate matters, starting in 2006. In every encounter, she was highly professional and pleasant to work with. Besides having an extensive knowledge of employment law, she is thorough and thoughtful in her work and her recommendations. I would recomme...nd her highly.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
