This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Winning Attorney

Mr. Vlachos has worked above and beyond his duties as my personal injury attorney. He and his Paralegal, Regina Vino, worked tirelessly to WIN my suit. They have answered every phone call and email, no matter day or time, and have explained every detail along the way. You cannot ask for a better te...am to represent you! My suit was not easy but Mr. Vlachos stayed the course and won at every turn. He and his team were timely, effective and respected by the court. I not only call him My Attorney but my friend. You will feel the same at your consultation!

Chris Vlachos fought for me

My fiance and I were in a terrible car accident where we were rear ended at a red traffic light by someone going 60 mph while texting. My fiance had just had major surgery on his ankle and could not walk without crutches. We had multiple injuries and trauma, and as a result we had to postpone our w...edding for the second time that year (first was due to my fiance's ankle injury). Chris Vlachos was so caring and responsive; he took care of our every need and kept us informed every step of the way as to what we needed to do with our plan of care and legally. He aggressively fought for the maximum compensation for both of us -- even going back to fight for $400 additional dollars that he thought was deserved. What lawyer would fight for $400 for their clients?! His paralegal, Regina Vino, was sweet, caring, and thorough. The entire team was responsive to us. We were so pleased with our outcome and it was a happy ending to our otherwise very difficult year. After working with Chris and his team, we were able to move forward with our wedding!

"I endorse this lawyer. Excellent lawyer. Smart, hard working, and has the rare ability to talk to jurors on their level, as opposed to talking "down" to jurors as so many lawyers tend to do."
