I am a California Attorney, Fraud Examiner (CFE)*, a Harvard Law School-trained mediator, and the founder of a contemporary, boutique law practice in California that assists clients in the counties of Riverside, San Bernandino and Los Angeles. My mission is to provide clients with effective and efficient legal representation.
For over 30 years, I successfully represented clients in cases ranging from divorce and restraining orders to white collar crime and fraud investigations. I represented clients in Europe and in the United States. Thanks to my expertise as an attorney, Fraud Examiner (CFE), and economist, I analyze cases from a variety of different perspectives. My specialties include but are not limited to:
Family Law (Restraining Orders, Divorce, etc)
Fraud & Identity Theft
...and more!
(*California State Bar does not recognize Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE) as a specialty for California lawyers.)
****This notice is meant to address the defamatory postings on the web against attorney Athina K. Powers:
Attorney Athina K. Powers was never a fugitive from justice; she is a licensed attorney in the State of California and a Fraud Examiner, with no pending cases against her in any Bar in the world. As a fraud examiner, one of the jobs of Athina K. Powers was to track and unmask the true identities of a number of criminals that defrauded consumers by disguising themselves as doctors, surgeons, homeopathic physicians, real estate agents, attorneys, and investors. In doing so, Athina K. Powers became a victim of their stalking and cyberbullying.
These individuals assumed the identities of other actual physicians, investors, and lawyers--including but not limited to Athina K. Powers herself, chiropractor Dr. Ildiko Soskuti, M.D., and investor Sonia Carpentier--and they used the social security numbers of deceased persons. Their victims are usually immigrants whose primary language is not English. One of the wanted persons was recently apprehended in New York City for two counts of grand larceny, and is also facing legal proceedings in California for assault and battery.
Athina K. Powers is testifying in the upcoming court proceedings against the aforesaid criminals for their numerous offenses in the US (New York and California). The purpose of any online postings against Athina K. Powers are only meant to affect the validity of her testimony and her reputation. ***
