Forever grateful

Nancy was recommended to me by my corporate lawyer when my divorce turned acrimonious. I only wish I had sought her counsel from day one—she skillfully managed the challenges of the plaintiff’s changing representation and ultimately saved me a significant amount of money. Throughout the lengthy divor...ce process, further complicated by the Covid-19 pandemic, she demonstrated the highest degree of professionalism. I will be forever grateful.

Highly Recommended

Working with Nancy Gianakos was an absolute pleasure during what was a emotional and stressful time. From the very beginning Nancy was professional, attentive, and strategic. She understand my needs, and advocated in the best interest for myself and my family. Her negotiation skills were top notch, s...upported me every step of the way, and I was very pleased with outcome. Highly recommended!!

Lacking negotiation strategy

I was disappointed with this attorney, hired because of her self proclaimed negotiation skills. Her negotiation style seemed to be trying to talk me into agreeing with anything opposing side presented. She displayed a distinct lack of critical thinking on strategy and was unprepared at times. I sho...uld have found a new attorney.
