CRIMINAL LAW

When Faced With Adversity Focus On The Solution, Not The Problem. Our approach to helping clients is straightforward — always set realistic expectations.

     Many people believe if they have not done anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about. Therefore a sudden-unexpected prosecution against them (which may happen to anyone) finds them absolutely unprepared. But we are prepared to act in behalf of them! Our aim is to provide the very best counsel to our clients in criminal cases and we will be as objective as possible about their options.Criminal Law in Western Greece

                                                      FAMILY LAW

     Something More For You and Your Beloved People Than Just  Representation To The Courtrooms!
     With more than 25 years of legal experience, our law firm (consisted of a team of skilled law attorneys) can assure you that every family law matter is unique.We are used to face each family-problem under the particular circumstancesandconditions it appears. 

  Famiy Law    Over allthese past years we help men and women, fathers and mothers (and grandparents several times) to find logical and legal solutions that are customized to their particular needs.

     Each time we are hired for a family law case we handle with sensitivity and do our best not to offer just representation to the courtroom (for the current legal problem) but to find together with our clients who trust us lifesolutions that will help them (and their families and  children) throughout their daily life. We have in mind always that the courtroom and the judicial resolutionis only thelast resort in legal matters such as Divorce (contested and uncontested) - Property division or other disputes between former spouses,disagreements for the attribution of Parental Responsibility-child custody and support ,visitation rights, place of Residence of a child or matters relating to the financial obligations (spousal support etc) .

     We do not hesitate to discuss and negotiate with the other party to find reasonable solutions. However, if the opposite party is isolated behind a wall or behaves cotrary to legislation or even to logic then the courtroom is obviously the only solution. But even if the problem must be addressed through the Greek Family court, our clients must be confident  because they will have legal counsel that will stand firm on their behalf.

MOTOR ACCIDENT CLAIMS

An auto or vehicle accident can happen to anyone - we all depend on auto transport to some extent- so no matter how careful or responsible we may be, any of us could be involved in a car accident. Motor accident claims  is a main part of the services offered by our Law Firm. Our office provides legal advice and representation to Greek Courts when they have a legal dispute after a car (motor) accident.In an effort to help our clients as best as possible, our legal team is prepared to handle a variety of car accident claims, including driver errors, reckless driving, speeding, no-fault accidents, drunk driving, pedestrian accidents, wrongful death, highway defects, insurance claims, car defect-malfunction.

Car accident law is a main part of our legal services.

We provide legal services in car accident law which is a part of our personal injury law-services dealing with bodily injuries and property damages that generally result from motor vehicle accidents.

Millions of people use Western Greece's roads and highways yearly, and (as it happens everywhere in the planet) while a majority of them consider the importance of driving safely, a minority (unfortunately) fail to understand this by driving irresponsibly. As a result a number of accidents occur each year, causing devastating injuries and losses to victims and their families. Auto accidents can be traumatic.Not only proper medical care but also legal advice is crucial to both recovery and being adequately compensated. Car accidents represent the majority of personal injury claims.Car accident litigation follows in Greece the law of negligence. Someone is negligent if he or she failed to use reasonable care under the circumstances (speeding, making an unsafe lane change, running a stop sign or red light, driving without regard to weather conditions etc) that existed at the time of the accident. If a person is found to be negligent, he or she is required to pay personal or property damages associated with the negligent act.

The burden rests on the plaintiff or injured party, to prove the defendant was negligent and the proximate cause of the accident and injury. When the liability in the case is established, the injured individual may generally be entitled to receive compensation for injuries, medical expenses, damages, pain and suffering and lost earnings.

Our aim is to make our clients feel safer for their legal rights while driving in Greece and to get what they deserve if they have been involved in a car accident.Our aim is to reduce the painful consequences of a traffic crash onto their property and life.
