Do not recommend. Gave $8000 for him to represent my family member in March 2022 for a trial in August 2022. He never made initial contact with my family member, his client, ever. Went out on an extended leave of absence in early June, that's not the issue, he has not made any contact prior to thi...
Mr. Protogyrou took family leave because of a family tragedy in early June and did not return to the office until the first week of September. Other lawyers and paralegals in the firm handled this matter during his absence including speaking with the woman complaining in this post and giving her updates. Our firm was the fourth firm to enter into this case and had to withdraw for ethical reasons. The first three also all withdrew as counsel. The person writing this comment has been directed by the court to have no contact with the new counsel appointed by the court because of her past conduct with all counsel and the judicial system. As for the fee, the firm is examining how much work was performed and will return a large percentage of the fee once all the billing is complete.

I was accused and held without bond by the Virginia Beach justice system for a crime I did not commit despite my not being a criminal, never having any issues going to court, and being a military veteran. Needless to say, I was getting railroaded by Virginia Beach authorities. To add insult to injury...

Mr Protogyrou represented my son in Norfolk District Court on a possession of marijuana charge. The police came to the duplex where my son lives on a burglar alarm call for the next door apartment. The police weren't truthful to my son when he willfully allowed them to enter his apartment to check no...
"As a former prosecutor, I had the honor of seeing Mr. Protogyrou in action in the courtroom. He was always very aggressive but professional. It was a pleasure working with him as opposing counsel. He represents his clients well. I endorse this attorney."
