No communication
I hired Mrs Tsamis to defend me in a civil action. She did not return my calls and was late for court. I don't think she is very knowledgeable as the answer to most of my questions was , "I don't know."

Claims To Be "On Your Side" Is False
I Paid Ms. Tsamis $1500 to help me secure unemployment, while she knew full well that a law in Illinois would prevent me from obtaining unemployment benefits.

I dislike it very much when my clients lose but can assure prospective clients that I do not misrepresent outcomes in any case.
