Excellent Lawyer

From the first meeting with Deana, I was completely comfortable with her ability to handle my case. She was compassionate, informative, knowledgeable and above all else, available at all times via email and phone when the need arose. I have since referred Deana and her firm to other potential clients.... Deana made a difficult decision alot easier to navigate with her knowledge of the Law.

Incredible

Hiring Ms. Balahstsis to represent me in a complex case was hands down the best decision I could have made. Throughout my trial she was knowledgeable, hard working and persistent. Ms. Balahstsis was mindful of my dollars and always put the interest of my child first. Ms. Balahstsis came highly recomm...ended by one of the top firms in the city that I could not afford to hire and I was grateful she took on my case. She is excellent at what she does.

Excellent lawyer, very supportive

Deana provided legal assistance during my divorce proceedings. She was not only very knowledgeable about her field of practice but also very supportive throughout the process, on an emotional and psychological level. She was very proactive in providing the right solution for me and avoiding further l...itigation. She was always responsive in my phone calls, even after normal business hours. She has an insight with people and fully understands your needs. She has excellent advocacy skills and I would highly recommend her for her work ethic, emotional support and effectiveness at Court proceedings.
