Exceptional Advocacy — Delivered Results Beyond Expectations

I can’t recommend Antonia Kousoulas highly enough. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand my situation — not just the details of my layoff, but the scope of my role, the work I contributed, and the broader context of my employment. That level of care made a huge difference.... She was incredibly thoughtful in helping me shape my narrative and position my case in a way that would be most effective with my former employer. When outside counsel got involved on the other side, she advocated for me with confidence and precision. What really stood out was her persistence and attention to detail. She was consistently on top of every step, proactive in follow-ups, and made me feel fully supported throughout the entire process. Most importantly, the outcome spoke for itself — I received a settlement that was significantly better than what I would have achieved on my own (nearly 4x higher). Antonia is an exceptional attorney and a true professional. I’ve already referred her to multiple people and will continue to do so without hesitation.

Client Review

Ms. Kousoulas very well understands the personal and professional stakes at hand in the case in terms of self-esteem and professional identity, and fights for them with heart and soul.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
