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.
