Great Criminal/Immigration Attorney

I am pleased to provide my highest recommendation for George Terezakis and the Terezakis Law Firm based on their exceptional legal representation and advocacy in criminal and immigration matters. As someone who has completed law school and has had the opportunity to observe the legal system from vari...ous perspectives I can now say that I have witnessed firsthand the professionalism, legal skill, and dedication that George Terezakis and his associates brings to every case. Recently, Mr. Terezakis successfully represented a close family friend with a very complex criminal history from her youth which placed her now as a senior citizen on the verge of being deported back to her birth country but also a country where she had not been in over 30 years. The Terezakis law firm obtained the cancellation of the deportation proceedings in this particularly challenging immigration matter based upon a complicated, technical, legal argument. His dedication to this case and persistence are commendable. Their command of immigration law, meticulous preparation, and persuasive advocacy before the Immigration Court were instrumental in achieving a life-changing outcome for the client. The case required not only strong legal analysis, but also compassion, strategic thinking, and unwavering commitment to due process — all qualities that Mr. Terezakis demonstrated throughout the representation. The Terezakis firm exhibits integrity, professionalism, and genuine concern for the individuals and families they represent. Their ability to navigate complex immigration proceedings while maintaining clear communication and client trust is truly commendable. In addition to his legal abilities, George Terezakis is known for maintaining fair and reasonable legal fees while providing an exceptionally high level of representation. In an area of law that can often place significant financial strain on clients and families, The Terezakis law firm approaches billing with honesty, transparency, compassion, and professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend George Terezakis and the Terezakis law firm to any individual or organization seeking a highly capable and dedicated criminal law and/or immigration attorney. They are an asset to the legal profession and a strong advocate for their clients.

So Grateful !!!!!!!

I hired Mr. Terezakis in 2017 after my husband received a warrant to be detained. I remember calling their office so frantic and scared. Fabiola was able to help me locate which detention center he was taken to. George was able to get my husband released on bail and through their efforts my husban...d received approval for cancellation of deportation, and once a visa becomes available, my husband will be safe in this country as a permeant resident. A huge burden has been lifted from our shoulders. My husband's case was very complex and George's expertise in criminal defense law and immigration was a life saver. The months leading to our final hearing, George and his staff worked tirelessly to make sure our petition had every detail possible for a favorable outcome. I highly recommend this law firm.

The best Law Firm for tough and hopeless cases !!!

We hired Mr. Terezakis in 2016 when my husband at the time boyfriend was arrested by ICE while on probation after being convicted of defrauding the US government (an aggravated federal conviction) in 2012. At the time of the criminal case arrest my husband had only been a resident for nearly 2 years ...which made his case so much harder, he didn’t qualify for any of the relief available to those who have been residents for over 5 years, there was no hope for him. When ICE took him the world came crashing down, our family and I were desperate not knowing what was going to happen to him, we had no idea where they had taken him, a friend of our provided us with Mr. Terezakis info and we contacted him promptly on Friday the same day my husband was taken, it was such a relief for us when Mr. Terezakis told us where my husband was being detained and the very next day he went to visit him. When we met Mr. Terezakis he was very honest about the situation and right from the start he told us that my husband case was going to be a very difficult one to fight considering his serious conviction and the short time he had been in the US. Despite these facts Mr. Terezakis decided to take his case which gave us hope. We trusted his knowledge and experience considering his background on criminal defense but most of all his compassion towards our situation, he was very honest and told us that there was not guarantee that our case was going to be successful. After 6 months Mr. Terezakis was able to get my husband released under bond. And we felt a huge weight off our shoulder to finally have him back with our family. Throughout these years Mr. Terezakis firm has been working diligently to win my husband case. They have been very understanding and we have appreciated how flexible they have been with offering us time to pay and charging us a fair price for their services. They have truly treated us like family, never did they stop working on the case because of money which shows that they actually care for the future of their clients and more than just being a business, they have a mission give their clients a second chance and keep families together in this wonderful country. My husband was scheduled to appear to an individual hearing in 2018 but it was rescheduled to April of 2023, after being released from detention we were able to get married and my husband successfully started his own business. We have been living in dismay, not knowing how my husband case was going to play out, as a result we have had to put many of our dreams on hold. We can finally say that our fear for the future is over just a few days before his hearing we received the news, My husband case had been DISMISSED !!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes, I cried of joy, I sat so many times in the office looking at file cases with Closed written on the outside and wondering when it was going to be our turn, I will be eternally grateful to the entire Terezakis law firm staff for all the effort and hard work they put into our case. I will forever hold Fabiola close to my heart, she was on top of every detail, always available to answer our questions and address our concerns. They were literally a phone call away and always made sure we were understood what was being done. You can’t put a price on peace of mind. The last two months before the hearing we were constantly texting and calling each other making sure every detail was accurate and correct, I had faith that we were going to be victorious after the extensive packet they had prepared for immigration. We didn’t even have to go to court, it was such a relief. This has been the hardest situation we have faced but God made sure we were surrounded by a winning team and overall well round people with the best intentions to get us through it. This is a dream come true, I’m still disbelief. They are currently working on getting his citizenship. Thank you God & the Terezakis Law Firm !

Incredible Attorney, Honest Professional & Caring

My deportation case was an extremely difficult one, where I was convicted of an aggravated felony when I was a teenager. I served a couple of years for my crime, was rehabilitated and became a successful, productive member of society. 25 years later after traveling abroad I was placed in deportation ...proceedings. My family and I were in complete shock as our world was about to be turned upside down on something I did as a dumb teenager. Mr. Terezakis, Deisy & the rest of his team went to work on trying to keep me from being deported. From the moment I met Mr. Terezakis and his team, I knew they truly cared about my situation, my family and fought extremely hard to ensure we would stay together. They formulated multiple plans to help me with the removal proceedings. Due to the fact that he was not only an immigration attorney, but a criminal defense attorney as well, he was very well prepared to handle all the complexities of my case. After several years of his effort, dedication and professionalism fighting the case, I was granted the ability to stay in this country. Even after I won my case, he and his team have followed up several times on how my green card renewal and family were doing. I can tell you, if you want an honest, professional attorney who will tell you the truth, not take your money and tell you what you want to hear; then George Terezakis and his team are the people you want to represent you.
