Mr. Alex Papaefthimiou was an indispensable asset to my trial victory.

The issue I went to battle over was a complex one that would impact my reputation and many thousands of fellow homeowners. As a first-time plaintiff in a trial, the experience was all new to me. On top of that, I was personally taking on the equivalent of City Hall (and their pocketbooks). The matter... between me and the defendant was highly contentious, volatile and it was publicized weekly in the local media. This was a must-win situation for me. My observation is that the way attorneys implement their tactics is very similar to military battles. My opposition was the large, unwieldy and slow moving Goliath who could not keep pace with Alex, who was the equivalent of a special forces unit. While the opposition’s counsel was a well-respected firm with top attorneys, they were no match against Alex who was 1) more knowledgeable on the law, 2) more effective in his communications and 3) more nimble in his attack methods. These three advantages were the key to leading the judge to her decision in our favor. With respect to the client-attorney interaction, Alex was always reachable, easy to communicate with, efficient in his work and cool under pressure. I had been referred to Alex by a trusted friend. Now that my victory has been secured and I have seen how talented he is, I can whole-heartedly advise to anyone that Alex is an attorney you want on your team.

Thorough researcher, excellent writer, part of our team

Alex provided us with a thoroughly researched brief on very technical issues and complicated facts. He also gave us suggestions on other issues that we had not identified or asked him to research, but which turned out to be particularly helpful in our analysis and disposition of the case. We were s...uccessful in reaching a settlement shortly after we filed our motion for summary judgment. He truly became part of our team.
