Pray like everything depends on GOD, work like it depends on you!

Going through a custody battle can be confusing, exhausting and stressful. Especially, when you find out two months to trial the other side retained an attorney. I decided it would be best to seek some form of counsel. I was referred to Mr. Tsakataras through another attorney. I immediately calle...d because I had been praying for guidance, and this attorney gave him a stellar recommendation. I did my own research while awaiting the consultation meeting. His reputation was incredible! He has EXTENSIVE experience in custody matters. He has state / federal contracts in the family court system. This man has earned the respect; and you only do that by working hard! So, everything in me said “THIS, is exactly WHO you need to talk to!” Fast forward to the Monday we were meeting, we ended up rescheduling because an emergency hearing was the following day he had to prepare for. I was timely notified by Steven (his paralegal) and informed of what was going on. How could I even be upset? That’s the type of person you WANT on your team. Somebody who is DEDICATED to your case and will FIGHT to see the best outcome. Finally, it’s the day of the consult, he called me in a timely fashion; and he let me know how the process works; 50 minutes, i had already sent all my documentation to him- so even though it was via phone; it was as if I was in the office. He told me the retainer fees, and asked me if I wanted to be prepared, OR, if I would be able to pay the fee. I opted for preparation as trial is set for next month and the fees as a result was going to be very high. During this consultation, he outlined in details which factors are the factors I should be focused on, how to highlight them, how to present them to court. He gave me valuable information that you really can’t put a price tag on. Once the 50 minutes was up, he did not rush to get off the phone. He made sure I was able to take very detailed notes, giving me dates, telling me how to get things admitted into court and before the judge. I feel very confident in my case, however, he has made my confidence level boost while fright of the attorney has diminished. I 110% recommend this attorney and I am so glad I had the opportunity to speak with him. It’s evident that he cares a lot more about the people he HELPS than he does about the money; I can only pray he continues to have great success in all paths of his life and continues to be blessed.

Highly Recommend This Lawyer for Your Divorce

Divorce is a difficult thing to go through. There is no doubt about it, and finding a divorce lawyer who you can trust and who is going to go to bat for you when you need them to is soooo important! George Tsakataras was great. He worked hard to understand my situation and was knowledeable about how ...the state divorce laws affected me and my case. He was responsive when I needed him. And when problems cropped up (and be prepared because unforseen problems can and do crop up in divorce) he and his office worked quickly to resolve them. He was honest and more than fair in his billing for his services. I feel completely comfortable recommending George to anyone who is looking for a divorce lawyer in Delaware.

In a Pinch?

George was there in a pinch! I needed a reputable and experienced, attorney that knew all the sides of my case/law and that could represent me at a moments notice. I dropped off the case documents and provided a briefing and over the weekend he read the case files and was prepared for court on Monday....

Confidence-Inspiring Every Step of the Way

I hired George for a Termination of Parental Rights and Adoption matter, and from Day 1, felt extremely confident in his abilities. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. My case went on for more than a year and a half, and had its stressful moments, as any Family Court case woul...d. Throughout the duration of my case, George continued to keep me calm, help me through the stress, and show that he remained focused and intent on achieving the desired result. He did an amazing job on our case, and I feel fortunate to have had him in our corner, fighting for what is best for my son. I’d been convinced that we were in good hands all along, but seeing him in action in court only made it more clear. I will never be able to thank him enough for how hard he fought for me and my son.
