Betty Tsamis

I was denied unemployment benefits . I contacted Betty to represent me in my appeal. She had been referred to me by a friend. Betty returned my email within an hour, and contacted me by phone the same day to discuss my case. I hired Betty that same day. She was very knowledgeable and very patient wi...th me. I had a lot of questions and I was very nervous about this appeal process. Betty handled the entire process, kept me informed, and the day before the hearing, she called me to explain how the entire hearing would go, from start to finish. The hearing went exactly as Betty had explained, and I won!!!!!! Betty is totally AWESOME!!!! If you need an employment attorney, Betty is the lady to hire!!!!! She is now looking into another case for me and I have total confidence in her judgment!!!!

I sought out Betty because she is highly involved in the community where I live, and has expertise in employment law. I was seeking advice about a possible discrimination lawsuit. Betty was great. Upfront she told me about a potential conflict of interest as she had represented my former employer sev...eral years ago on an unrelated case. I thought it showed a great deal of integrity to walk away from a solid piece of business due to a past relationship that could possibly work to my disadvantage. Instead, she put me in touch with a colleague who is now representing me, and this person is just what I needed. As sharp as Betty, and tough as nails. with my former employer. While I was only in contact with Betty for a couple weeks, throughout the process she was responsive to my emails, compassionate about my situation, and generous with her time. My initial in person consultation was free of charge, which I did not expect. During that session, she presented me with some advice/coaching on how I might resolve things without attorney involvement, and the merits/cautions of filing an EEOC claim on my own. She also predicted exactly how the employer would frame the layoff decision. Whether it was insider information, or a deep understanding of this type of law, I was impressed. I would recommend Betty highly to anyone seeking her services related to employment issues.

I highly recommend Ms. Tsamis because as my attorney she was a passionate advocate who spoke for me when I did not have the words to speak for myself. After an extended illness I was sued by a major Chicago hospital network for the portion of medical expenses not covered by my group health insuran...ce. The amount I owed was over $100,000, which my insurance would not pay. I received threatening letters from large law firms and I was served a subpoena. It was terrifying; I had never paid a bill late in my life. I thought bankruptcy was my only option, so I compiled a list of attorneys from referrals and publications, then set to doing my homework. I called several attorneys and got LOTS of run around and quite a few awkward questions that made me feel small. Then I called Ms. Tsamis. She was different immediately, because she spoke to me like a person. She asked my direct questions that made me feel comfortable. She took my case and dealt with the hospitals as well as the insurance company. She made calls on my behalf and responded to my subpoena. In the end the insurance company paid all amounts, and I was left with a hospital bill of $0. Ms. Tsamis did an amazing job as my attorney.

Ms. Tsamis represented me in the appeal of an unemployment claim denial. She prepared the appeal, prepped me for the call with the judge and supported me during the call. The judge was complimentary of her work and our appeal was successful. I would highly recommend Ms. Tsamis to anyone seeking an... unemployment attorney.
