George Steve Kounoupis

I selected attorneys Kounoupis and Alpago after consulting with and reviewing several other employment law attorneys recommended to me familiar with employment law. It was straightforward with my prepared information and questions, I found his candidness refreshing, the consultation fee was worth it..., and the retainer and agreement was reasonable. In that this was an EEOC related case, the process and procedural time frames are established by law/regulation. Submissions were always on time and within the schedule they provided and established. My questions and any concerns were addressed within 24 hours. I personally found it a pleasure working with both attorneys Kounoupis and Alpago. My recommendation to others is to 1) be prepared and organized with your information and documentation so they can more effectively assess and assist you, 2) be reasonable in your expectations of what you want and/or the outcome you desire, 3) listen to their counsel and advice before you make your decision (they do have your best interests in mind and present the realities of all your choices), 4) ask questions and be honest (they can't know what's in your mind and your own disappointment may be your failure to fully understand your choices, the law relating to your case, and other factors that can influence it - they were always candid and direct even before making recommendations) and 5) let them do their job, that's what you're paying them for (which, for them is different than the other "you don't pay if we don't collect" firms). The time frame of my case was more a function of getting through the EEOC process, filing a federal lawsuit, and obtaining a positive resolution. It happened exactly as they described, according to the time frames they provided, and were easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend they without reservation.

I hired this lawyer for a civil case involving real estate. He asked and received a large retainer. Since then he was not available when I tried to communicate with him repeatedly for over three months period. Obviously, I had to fire this lawyer but he kept all the retainer even if he did absolut...ely nothing for me. I believe Mr. Kounoupis is a highly dishonest person and I caution anybody who plans to hire him to look better into this lawyers background and, for sure, avoid paying him a large retainer.
