Anon

Mahnoor and Tanvir went through all details with me and were the best advocates— they helped me recouperate fair wages and damages after I was wrongly terminated. I am so appreciative.

Simply the best

Parisis G. ("Gerry") Filippatos is fantastic! When faced with massively emotional issues due to the abhorrent and horrific conduct experienced from a former employer, Gerry listened calmly and was supportive. You immediately feel you are in safe hands. He explains everything to you in very clear t...erms. He sets out how he will be presenting the case and you are very much part of the process. He executes the agreed upon strategy with stealth and precision. Nothing phases Gerry. He gets results. He is simply the best in his field. Period.

Skilled, Compassionate, Effective

My experience with Parisis (Gerry) Filippatos, Esq. was extremely positive. I encountered skepticism from two other attorneys, previously, when telling my story, but Gerry was not judgmental and asked questions, making my initial experience positive. I needed to write down my detailed history with my... employer, which actually sharpened my memory of the entire sequence of events, as well as documenting the effect on me, emotionally and physically, over the course of my employment. I believe that was the key to his highly effective representation-thorough preparation. Gerry was very effective. Gerry was accessible, thorough in his assessment of my case, realistic when it came time to make critical decisions, and, ultimately, a caring, analytical and highly competent advocate for me. As a result, I was successful, on many levels. He is uniquely qualified for this type of work, with skill, experience and compassion. I would not hesitate to recommend him for anyone’s discrimination case, no matter what other attorneys have said.

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.
