Many many thanks to an amazing lawyer Christoforos Rousou! He helped me to win a custody case against my ex husband. Full custody of my 2 toddlers with severe disabilities! Full rights and no stop list! I was fighting for this many years … More with another female lawyer who did absolutely nothing. But Christoforos is really a professional lawyer and he wants to know all the details which can be very helpful. He is always responding to me and very friendly, very understanding person. Within few months I got what i was fighting for!
I really appreciate him! Not just as a client. But as a mother, as a woman who passed through the years of battle with a father of my disabled sons and domestic violence. BRAVO 👏🏼.
I highly recommend this lawyer! From my personal experience with him: punctual, responsible, educated and knowledgeable!

This is my third time working with this law firm and each time I’m grateful I found them. From start to finish, the process is always fast, efficient, and completely stress-free. Dealing with legal documents and legal processes in general … More can feel overwhelming, but the professionalism and attention to detail I was shown made everything so much easier and gave me peace of mind that everything was handled correctly. I would highly recommend this law firm, truly a five-star experience!
