Simply the BEST!!!

I hired Mr. Terezakis after my husband was taken in by ICE in 2015 and released 6 months later on 2016, My husbands case was very complicated since it dealt with a aggravated felony crime. He worked along with a federal criminal attorney (Mr. Gary Schoer) to lower the charge and have a better outcome... on his immigration case at court. Finally after 3 years my husbands case was resolved and he is able to remain in the USA as a legal resident. We are so grateful we chose Mr. Terezakis as our immigration attorney!

Grateful Client

Hi. I found George through my friend who had a felony for a drug sale aggravated felony. He was facing deportation. George was able to convince the judge and the DA to reduce his charges to a non-deportable offence. The guy's deportation case was dismissed, and he went home from jail. I was very impr...essed with this, so I decided to hire mr. Terezakis. He isn't cheap, but we all know we get what we pay for. And immigration matters isn't something you want to save a couple of bucks on, and nothing gets done in the end - I wouldn't risk it. I would prefer to spend a little more, but have a greater chance of winning my case. So I was also facing deportation. George was able to reduce my deportable crime to a non-deportable crime, and after the immigration judge vacated my deportation proceedings. So now I am eligible to apply for citizenship - which I am doing with help of G. Terezakis's office - I am not taking any chances that I am denied citizenship - again - this time around. I hope I won't need any of his services in the future, but if I do, he will be my go to attorney. He is a nice person, and pleasure to work with

Compassionate and dedicated lawyer

I was referred to George from the National Lawyers Guild when I was facing criminal charges related to freedom of speech and political expression. George was very professional, treated me with respect and always kept in contact with me. I applaud George for his commitment to social justice. I high...ly recommend him!

The best of the best

After having gone with several lawyers to overturn my deportation order, I came to the conclusion that many lawyers only wanted the easy cases so that they wouldn't have to put in so much effort since none of them wanted to take my case. And all told me that there was nothing they could do; that the ...case was too difficult and that they were shocked that I hadn't yet been deported especially when looking at the fact that I had committed two felonies and spent eight months in jail. They told me that there was no way anyone could help me but since it's God who gets the last word, I met George Terezakis. In effect, he told me that the case was a hard one but that he would do everything on his behalf to help me. His words gave me the certainty that he was the man God put in my path to get me out of the shadows of deportation and after years of effort, fighting, professionalism and dedication the results finally paid off. The government and the judge decided to agree to close my case. For that I would like to sincerely thank Mr. George Terezakis for all of his help and for giving me the opportunity to watch my children grow and to some day see them graduate from college, and to be by their side. That has been my dream my entire life. I would like to also thank father Kelly from the church of Saint Brigid in Queens for recommending Mr. Terezakis and his staff to me. They too were also key in our triumph in particularly Lorena A. Alfaro and Ms. Jennifer A. Williams, for they were always on point and may God bless them and all the staff in general for helping prevent splintering and separations of families. From the bottom of my heart Thank You! I hope you may never have a problem with neither the law nor the government, but if you ever find yourself in such situation I would recommend George Terezakis. He's truly a very effective and dependable attorney. Perhaps what he did for me he may do for you, that is, help you out a lot. Not only is he a Criminal Justice lawyer, he's also an Immigration lawyer and better yet he is fluent in Spanish. (So no translator required!)

Excellent Lawyer

I honestly didn't think I would win m case, however Mr.Terezakis made it happen. I was convicted of a felony and still won my immigration case. I recommend George Terazakis and his associates to everyone. Thank you George...Chris and family !
