Deana Balahtsis

Deana Balahtsis handled my case in a very professional and efficient way. I was falsely accused of a family offense. Unfortunately, it happens many times that family members due to financial and other disputes try to hurt you in every way they can. Sadly enough, I had to go through that ordeal as wel...l. Up until then I had little experience with the law. Thank God, I was referred to Mrs. Balahtsis. She understood immediately the dynamics of the issue and not only did she manage to dismiss the accusation, but also to prove the whole truth: that I was actually the victim of the false accusations/fabrications, so I should be the one to be granted protection. In addition, having been very emotional to deal with family betrayals, she gave me very good practical advice to handle the whole situation. Besides the obvious victory, Mrs. Balahtsis had other similar cases at the same court. Therefore, she was able to schedule my appearance right after another one of her cases, thus keeping things very efficient for her and her clients. Furthermore, she seemed to be extremely familiar with this type of procedures. While our adversary wasted precious court time in stating trivial details, she intervened the right moment and she proved our case, with just a few simple facts. Furthermore, during one of the preliminary hearings, she pointed out to the judge that her adversary was going into details, contrary to the nature of the court appearance. That made her adversary look very weak, further strengthening our case. I know Deana Balahtsis handles many types of legal cases. I would highly recommend her as a lawyer, as she is very intelligent, knowledgeable and creative. I would specifically recommend her for “Orders of Protection” and other family related cases- the type of cases she handled for me.

After interviewing what I thought were the best lawyers in NYC and felling as if they were all heartless bottom feeders, a friend made an introduction and we immediately met that very same day. I felt so comfortable while telling Deana my story, she was kind and understanding. I felt that no matter ...what the cost she was exactly the lawyer I looking for. As it turned out her fees were very competitive. I am almost at the end of my divorce and must say that to date we have been a great team and she is my tiger fearless and unstoppable when she advocating for me. This is the strength and power anyone filing for divorce wants behind them. She has not only has won all my very difficult battles but has picked me up and helped me be as strong as her. I hope when this is over she and I can become friends because I don’t know anyone as wonderful as Deana. If you are reading these reviews and looking for a lawyer call Deana and no matter what hire that woman she is a Monster!

I was going through a very difficult divorce and was at my wits end. I've had several law firms represent me, including a high profile firm that even represented President Trump (regarding different matters), and, much to my surprise, all that came before Deana were not as worthy of my time and money.... I was introduced to Deana through a personal friend, and it changed my life. Before meeting Deana, it felt as though my divorce would never end. My rights as a father did not seem as important to anyone because I would have had to give up time with my little daughter who I love so dearly. This all changed after I hired Deana. I only wish I had met with Deana from the beginning. Deana quickly gained the respect of the Judge and was able to gain ground for me every single day. She is a fighter and does not give up. She understood my situation in detail and was very strategic on handling it through the remaining course of the divorce. I went full circle with other firms and can tell you, from my experience, that Deana gives the best value for time and money spent. She works extremely hard, makes herself available at all times, picks up the phone, and returns texts almost immediately, which is so important considering this was not always the case for me. It’s comforting knowing that I will always have Deana to represent me if ever I need it in the future.
