Your Advocate in Divorce and High Conflict Custody

I had a very contentious divorce and heated child custody battle. Mr. Poulos helped me prevail over the muck the ex was alleging against me. My experience with Mr. Poulos was he is very matter of fact and does not give in to the divorce drama. This helped me keep calm. He helped me understand the int...ricacies of the divorce process so I knew what I could expect. Sometimes it seemed prophetic to see what he told me before come to pass as the dissolution progressed. Although sometimes I felt like more action was needed on his part to litigate the issues, he was deliberate and detail oriented in following court rules and procedures to avoid muddying the waters of the conflict. Mr. Poulos helped me restore and save my parental rights, keep property and maintain reasonableness. After a long and nasty divorce, the court awarded the majority of what I wanted. I offer my sincere appreciation and thanks to Mr. Poulos's help.

Average at best

Average attorney churned out by ASU. Can't think outside the box, not very smart, but really good at keeping the meter running, like the majority of attorneys.

Unethical

I hired Alex Poulos to be my attorney and he he took my retainer and then quit when he realized I didn't have a shot at getting a lot of money. I was dumbfounded and left at a severe disadvantage. He also knew that the retainer that I had given him was all the money that I had. Pretty heartless. Hire... at your own risk.

Best Divorce Attorney!!!

Divorce is much meaner and scarier thing than people realize when it all starts unraveling. Alex is the attorney who will see all the bullets before they come at you and make you feel safe. His expertise and confidence will let you sleep at night. He will empathize, genuinely represent your position..., and he cares. He has the experience in the court room and has been through the gauntlet many times. You are only going to get one chance to divorce a person. Alex is A #1 and the best! Laura C.
