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.

From the moment I met Deana, I immediately felt comfortable and knew I’d want her to represent me. This was unquestionably the most difficult and painful time in my life and Deana was there to guide and support the entire time. She’s direct, honest, assertive, no-nonsense and tough – and she’s also e...qually compassionate, caring and fair. Deana was always there to listen and provide excellent guidance. The level of anxiety and uncertainty going through such a traumatic event runs high – however, deep down I knew everything would be okay having Deana by my side. She handled my matter with conviction, confidence, determination and brilliance – she’s a partner and advocate who cares deeply about her clients. She also works well with opposing counsel – which is extremely important if you’re hoping to achieve a positive outcome. Lastly, but as importantly, Deana is a mom which was very comforting and reassuring for me, being a mom myself. In closing, if you’re looking for an attorney who is tough, fearless, objective, straightforward and with a high degree of empathy, hire her. She’s amazing!
