Excellent Immigration Attorney

Despite me having some serious prior criminal issues,the Law office of George Terezakis was still able to help me obtain my "green card",status as a permanent resident,despite my case case being very complicated with lots of issues.after many years of hard fighting,Mr Terezakis was so overwhelm with ...joy for me and my family when I finally receive my green card.He genuinely card about his clients wellbeing and it showed in his hard work.he worked side by side with my criminal defense attorneys on two different case in two different cities,our calls or questions to Mr Terezakis was never unanswered I felt well represented by him in front of the immigration Judge and in front of the interviewing immigration officer,during the four plus years my extremely complicated case took,I was well represented by Mr Terezakis and his wonder staff, I would recommend the Immigration law office of George Terezakis to anyone who's looking for a excellent Immigration attorney who will fight for his clients and is very good at what he does.

Excellent attorney

I have known George Terezakis for about 25 years. When a problem arose that required a criminal lawyer, he was the first one I though of to take care of it and he did an absolutely superb job in every way. George took the time to sit with me, listened to everything I said, wrote memos for the Jud...ge, intervened with the A.D.A., supervisor, and anyone else he thought of to try to settle the case. Ultimately the District Attorney would not settle the case and wanted me to plead guilty to the charge which I refused to do because I knew I was not guilty. Once the decision was made that we would go for trial, George did everything humanly, legally, and ethically possible to win the case, and it was a tough case. But thanks to George and only George I was found not guilty. I never had a moment's hesitation during the process which was long. He came to Court every time, the Judges, attorneys and District Attorneys knew him because his practice led him to that building regularly. I paid George for his services and he deserved every penny. His fees for what he did were fair and he never tried to increase the bill from his initial quote until trial, at which point he deserved extra money for unbelievable preparation and of course by winning. I must say that I believe the Judge (it was a bench trial, no jury) and the District Attorney wanted to find me guilty for a number of reasons, but by the time George finished the trial, handed in an updated memorandum in my favor, it was clear there would be no guilty verdict. George is a lawyer who zeros in on the problem. He knew exactly what to do and knows how to handle the case. His staff was lovely and either he or his staff always called back promptly. So thank you George, sometimes I honestly think you saved my life because I knew I was not guilty and regardless of what he thought he was an incredible advocate and never made any promises he couldn't keep. If you need a criminal lawyer, meet with him. You will be glad you did. I LOVE GEORGE TEREZAKIS!!!! (and I am married and so is he). He is a caring, very smart, very articulate counselor who deserves only the best in life. He does it his way within the confines of the law and ethics and I don't know if anyone else could have accomplished what he did.

Forever Grateful

I would sincerely like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to Mr. George Terezakis and his entire staff. I was arrested for a serious crime, which resulted in being detained by Immigration after completing an eight-month sentence. Although, I was a legal resident for almost 30 years with all ...of my family living in the U.S. including my children, parents and siblings, I never became a U.S Citizen. After completing a sentence, it was extremely stressful to be detained with the risk of being removed from the U.S. from my family, friends and the life that I worked so hard to build since coming to this country. He and his staff guided my family and I through the stressful removal proceedings. They were always available for our numerous calls and emails. He was always honest about the timeline of the case and guided us through next steps. Mr. Terezakis was thoroughly prepared for hearings and ultimately won my trial! His preparedness was even mentioned during the trial by the Judge as she stated it allowed for the trial to move quickly and efficiently. I truly appreciate him taking the time to visit me while in jail to discuss details of the case and to ensure that I was prepared for trial. I was nervous, scared and afraid and Mr. Terezakis eased my worries. I currently reside in the U.S. thanks to the hard work of Mr. Terezakis and his team. He is very knowledgeable about Immigration Law and I highly recommend him to those that are dealing with a difficult deportation case. I was given another chance to return to my children, family and friends and all thanks to the hard work of Mr. Terezakis and his staff. I will be forever grateful and look forward to working with him again when I become a U.S. citizen.

Outstanding Immigration and Criminal Defense Lawyer

I had been an upstanding, productive permanent resident of the United States for over 35 years. A few years ago, I had been charged with two criminal convictions. Although I had successfully complied with all the rules of the court, and had no more violations, I was detained at the airport, returnin...g from a vacation, faced with deportation. My wife and I were shocked and confused not knowing where to turn. Mr. Terezakis had excellent reviews,so I hired him to handle my case. Mr. Terezakis is very knowledgeable in both criminal defense and immigration law, and very well- prepared in court. Neither my previous lawyer who handled the prior convictions, nor the judge, informed me what could and did happen down the road! Mr. Terezakis is sympathetic and non-judgmental. However, he tells you all the possible outcomes of the hearing.Since the judge presiding over my case had a reputation for being rather "tough" he suggested bringing in a medical expert to give testimony regarding my case.Mr. Terezakis, as well as my wife and I, wanted to avoid an "appeal" since I am in my mid-70s and that could have dragged on another two years, not to mention the extra expense! I took his advice, because I had a great deal of respect and confidence in him from the start. I won the case and am no longer living in fear of being deported and torn away from my loved ones. I can move forward and enjoy the few remaining years I have left with my family. I would highly recommend Mr. George Terezakis without any reservations. He gave me my life back! Thank- you!
