I've had my fair share of terrible experiences to overcome with my business, but none equalled to a mess that a new and unsatisfied client did to me last year when he refused to pay his fees but requested more work done. I had gone from lawyer to lawyer and spend thousands of dollars on advice and guidance only to get absolutely nowhere. I spent hundreds in consultation fees and hourly fees, and came to the final and dreaded conclusion that the people I'm paying to advise me actually don't care in the least about the outcome of my situation but rather about how much they can bleed me dry. Up until that point, I was still living in that "It can happen to anyone, but not me" fantasy. I was down on my luck and the problem with my client was increasing by the day. It wasn't until I found Ms. Athina Karamanlis Powers that my problems were resolved. This savior gave me her time and her advice and assured me that the end result will be to my benefit. And it was!!! The fees she charged were reasonable and winning the case was absolutely worth every penny I spent listening to her. My client paid me all the fees that he owed me for my work and there have been no complaints or comebacks from him for nearly a year. She's by far, the best lawyer I've come across in my days. I would definitely would go to her if a problem ever arises again and again, because I can trust her to give me her honest opinion and take me by the hand to resolve any issue I have. I absolutely recommend her for anyone experiencing legal dilemmas.

In today's cut-throat world, an attorney of both honor and high caliber is a rather rare find. I would like to personally thank Attorney Powers for her council and expertise regarding my case. Considering my long experience with businesses and the troubles that come with them, I've had many attorneys advise me regarding various matters and each attorney has given me advice more confusing and more expensive than the last. I was on the verge of financial breakdown and the counsellors recomended to me only cared about how large a portion of my bank accounts would eventually be transfered to them. I was appalled and feared that one of these individuals would be standing as my legal advisor were my matters brought to court. On a rather ordinary day I met with one of my long time business partners and good friends whom had recently worked with Attorney Powers. He spoke so highly of her; he spoke as if she were a legal army of lawyers combined into one so I asked for her contact details. I am ashamed to say I assumed and belived she would be ridiculously overpriced and as cut-throat as the others. Usually during first time meetings with an attorney, one would have a strange atmosphere in the room where all sorts of doubts come up in your head and your wallet. Surprisingly enough, upon meeting her the room was filled with a wonderfully clear aura. It was not just another "ambulance chasing" attorney looking for their next score. I'd like to keep the matters of my consultation private, but needless to say there was no doubt in my head she HAD to be my legal counsel. Her retainer fee should have been much higher considering the wonderful work she did and I can not thank her enough for her help. She truly put my faith back into the legal system.

I hired Athina Powers to help me obtain custody of my 2 children. It seemed as though I was loosing my babies, the other parent had moved out of state and I needed counsel, I needed someone to hear my voice and understand the situation. I am FOREVER GRATEFUL I chose her. Athina is knowledgeable and personable, always staying calm and knowing exactly what to say. I felt as though I had an angel guiding me, every step of the way, ensuring through clear, constant communication that everything will fall into place. I cannot begin to explain the amount of confidence this wonderful woman was able to restore to me. Her and here team treated us like family, helping us battle some tough times, and seeing us through it all! We won the case-full custody granted to me! Your forever in our prayers, Athina.

Where can I even start with Ms. Powers and her team! Ms. Powers definitely took on my very complicated restraining order case. Her and Joanna worked tirelessly to get my case solved. At the end we won the case! It definitely was a lot of time on effort on everyone’s part, but she did not give up. She takes the time to understand her clients needs and basically become family! Thank you to her and the team!

There are lawyers who look at you as their income and then there are lawyers who God blessed with the compassion and understanding of the law to defend those persons who don't know how to defend them them selves when they are thrown in the legal court system. Living in a No fault state of California I thought that I didn't' have a chance, until I met Mrs. Powers I have to be very careful on what I say about my situation on social media, but I had to post a positive review about her, She is a God sent. She is so smart, if you have a potential fraud case she is that person to hire. Mrs. Powers is Family law at it's best a bonus when she specializes in Fraud. I could see by our conversation that she takes every situation personal. Which is what you want when an attorney is representing you. I hated to go through this but I won't be manipulated any longer from my husband that abandoned our family and a restaurant business venture he got us involved in. I can see that she will truly fight for the kids and I and I would like to do everything possible to let other persons who find them selves lost in this whole legal system of trying to find the right family law attorney to know of her. After the first lawyer sent me before a judge without representation and told me to just read off an email he sent me on what to say and a lawyer that just saw me as just another income I was giving up hope. I prayed about it this time, I had looked on Aavo before but Mrs. Powers name never came up. She is clearly the one and I would recommend her to anyone. She knows the law extremely well and has ethics. I just feel like a heavy weight is finally lifted off of me knowing she is the one to represent me. Thank you Athina

I was helpless and tried the Avvo, Mrs. Powers is the only one replys me. She is so nice and patience, even if my case is confused. I was trying to tell her the problems I faced, and she replys me everytime with ideas and helpful informations. Thank you Mrs. Powers, my English is not very good, but thank you for your kindness and your strong spirit makes me see the dawn.

Athina, Thank you! not only did you answer all my questions, you helped to motivate me re3garding the situation. Definitely happy that a service like Avvo exists and I will definitely have Athina on speed-dial :) Very happy customer, Christina Martinez

Excellent!

Athina's legal pedigree and personal demeanor far out-shined her peers -- and I've talked to more than my fair share of attorneys and firms concerning my legal matter. Her advice was spot-on.

Prior to my conversation with Athina Powers, I had never heard of her, in fact even before our call I didn't review her profile as I elected to allow AVVO to auto connect me with an attorney based on the nature of my situation in which case you're provided with the attorney's profile after the call. My phone rang less than 5 minutes after I paid the AVVO fee... and shortly there after I realized I was speaking to an attorney who was clearly extremely capable. Athina listened to everything I had to say and then responded with the kind of confidence that can't be faked. Not only was she able to very clearly addressed the finer points of my concerns (which I thought I hadn't done a very good job explaining to her in the first place), but she didn't miss a thing, and then went on to point out a few possibilities that I hadn't occurred to me as viable options (and this is a testament to her intelligence considering the caliber of people who had previously been assisting me with my legal concerns). She brought a rare balance of knowing when to emphasize important points of my situation while simultaneously bringing a very appropriate sort of levity and humor to the conversation that not only provided me with a sense of empowerment but also an overwhelming feeling that I'm going to make it out of this situation and can do with flying colors. A few minutes after we finished our call I got follow up email from AVVO asking me to rate my experience with Athina. Her profile was attached to the email which was impressive to say the least and certainly came as no surprise as my experience was the type you have when you're dealing with the Real McCoy. By the way I have never responded to these sort of follow up "rating request" emails only because in the past they've seemed like a complete waist of time .. but Athina and my experience with AVVO is a horse of a different color and was so impressed that I wanted to share my experience and opinion with others who might need some reassurance in making a decision. Amazing !

I spent hundreds in consultation fees and hourly fees, and came to the final and dreaded conclusion that the people I'm paying to advise me actually don't care in the least about the outcome of my situation but rather about how much they can bleed me dry. Up until that point, I was still living in that "It can happen to anyone, but not me" fantasy. I was down on my luck and the problem with my client was increasing by the day. It wasn't until I found Ms. Athina Karamanlis Powers that my problems were resolved. This savior gave me her time and her advice and assured me that the end result will be to my benefit. And it was!!! The fees she charged were reasonable and winning the case was absolutely worth every penny I spent listening to her. My client paid me all the fees that he owed me for my work and there have been no complaints or comebacks from him for nearly a year. She's by far, the best lawyer I've come across in my days. I would definitely would go to her if a problem ever arises again and again, because I can trust her to give me her honest opinion and take me by the hand to resolve any issue I have. I absolutely recommend her for anyone experiencing legal dilemmas.

In today's cut-throat world, an attorney of both honor and high caliber is a rather rare find. I would like to personally thank Attorney Powers for her council and expertise regarding my case. Considering my long experience with businesses and the troubles that come with them, I've had many attorneys advise me regarding various matters and each attorney has given me advice more confusing and more expensive than the last. I was on the verge of financial breakdown and the counsellors recomended to me only cared about how large a portion of my bank accounts would eventually be transfered to them. I was appalled and feared that one of these individuals would be standing as my legal advisor were my matters brought to court. On a rather ordinary day I met with one of my long time business partners and good friends whom had recently worked with Attorney Powers. He spoke so highly of her; he spoke as if she were a legal army of lawyers combined into one so I asked for her contact details. I am ashamed to say I assumed and belived she would be ridiculously overpriced and as cut-throat as the others. Usually during first time meetings with an attorney, one would have a strange atmosphere in the room where all sorts of doubts come up in your head and your wallet. Surprisingly enough, upon meeting her the room was filled with a wonderfully clear aura. It was not just another "ambulance chasing" attorney looking for their next score. I'd like to keep the matters of my consultation private, but needless to say there was no doubt in my head she HAD to be my legal counsel. Her retainer fee should have been much higher considering the wonderful work she did and I can not thank her enough for her help. She truly put my faith back into the legal system.

I hired Athina Powers to help me obtain custody of my 2 children. It seemed as though I was loosing my babies, the other parent had moved out of state and I needed counsel, I needed someone to hear my voice and understand the situation. I am FOREVER GRATEFUL I chose her. Athina is knowledgeable and personable, always staying calm and knowing exactly what to say. I felt as though I had an angel guiding me, every step of the way, ensuring through clear, constant communication that everything will fall into place. I cannot begin to explain the amount of confidence this wonderful woman was able to restore to me. Her and here team treated us like family, helping us battle some tough times, and seeing us through it all! We won the case-full custody granted to me! Your forever in our prayers, Athina.

Where can I even start with Ms. Powers and her team! Ms. Powers definitely took on my very complicated restraining order case. Her and Joanna worked tirelessly to get my case solved. At the end we won the case! It definitely was a lot of time on effort on everyone’s part, but she did not give up. She takes the time to understand her clients needs and basically become family! Thank you to her and the team!

There are lawyers who look at you as their income and then there are lawyers who God blessed with the compassion and understanding of the law to defend those persons who don't know how to defend them them selves when they are thrown in the legal court system. Living in a No fault state of California I thought that I didn't' have a chance, until I met Mrs. Powers I have to be very careful on what I say about my situation on social media, but I had to post a positive review about her, She is a God sent. She is so smart, if you have a potential fraud case she is that person to hire. Mrs. Powers is Family law at it's best a bonus when she specializes in Fraud. I could see by our conversation that she takes every situation personal. Which is what you want when an attorney is representing you. I hated to go through this but I won't be manipulated any longer from my husband that abandoned our family and a restaurant business venture he got us involved in. I can see that she will truly fight for the kids and I and I would like to do everything possible to let other persons who find them selves lost in this whole legal system of trying to find the right family law attorney to know of her. After the first lawyer sent me before a judge without representation and told me to just read off an email he sent me on what to say and a lawyer that just saw me as just another income I was giving up hope. I prayed about it this time, I had looked on Aavo before but Mrs. Powers name never came up. She is clearly the one and I would recommend her to anyone. She knows the law extremely well and has ethics. I just feel like a heavy weight is finally lifted off of me knowing she is the one to represent me. Thank you Athina

I was helpless and tried the Avvo, Mrs. Powers is the only one replys me. She is so nice and patience, even if my case is confused. I was trying to tell her the problems I faced, and she replys me everytime with ideas and helpful informations. Thank you Mrs. Powers, my English is not very good, but thank you for your kindness and your strong spirit makes me see the dawn.

Athina, Thank you! not only did you answer all my questions, you helped to motivate me re3garding the situation. Definitely happy that a service like Avvo exists and I will definitely have Athina on speed-dial :) Very happy customer, Christina Martinez

Excellent!

Athina's legal pedigree and personal demeanor far out-shined her peers -- and I've talked to more than my fair share of attorneys and firms concerning my legal matter. Her advice was spot-on.

Prior to my conversation with Athina Powers, I had never heard of her, in fact even before our call I didn't review her profile as I elected to allow AVVO to auto connect me with an attorney based on the nature of my situation in which case you're provided with the attorney's profile after the call. My phone rang less than 5 minutes after I paid the AVVO fee... and shortly there after I realized I was speaking to an attorney who was clearly extremely capable. Athina listened to everything I had to say and then responded with the kind of confidence that can't be faked. Not only was she able to very clearly addressed the finer points of my concerns (which I thought I hadn't done a very good job explaining to her in the first place), but she didn't miss a thing, and then went on to point out a few possibilities that I hadn't occurred to me as viable options (and this is a testament to her intelligence considering the caliber of people who had previously been assisting me with my legal concerns). She brought a rare balance of knowing when to emphasize important points of my situation while simultaneously bringing a very appropriate sort of levity and humor to the conversation that not only provided me with a sense of empowerment but also an overwhelming feeling that I'm going to make it out of this situation and can do with flying colors. A few minutes after we finished our call I got follow up email from AVVO asking me to rate my experience with Athina. Her profile was attached to the email which was impressive to say the least and certainly came as no surprise as my experience was the type you have when you're dealing with the Real McCoy. By the way I have never responded to these sort of follow up "rating request" emails only because in the past they've seemed like a complete waist of time .. but Athina and my experience with AVVO is a horse of a different color and was so impressed that I wanted to share my experience and opinion with others who might need some reassurance in making a decision. Amazing !

I spent hundreds in consultation fees and hourly fees, and came to the final and dreaded conclusion that the people I'm paying to advise me actually don't care in the least about the outcome of my situation but rather about how much they can bleed me dry. Up until that point, I was still living in that "It can happen to anyone, but not me" fantasy. I was down on my luck and the problem with my client was increasing by the day. It wasn't until I found Ms. Athina Karamanlis Powers that my problems were resolved. This savior gave me her time and her advice and assured me that the end result will be to my benefit. And it was!!! The fees she charged were reasonable and winning the case was absolutely worth every penny I spent listening to her. My client paid me all the fees that he owed me for my work and there have been no complaints or comebacks from him for nearly a year. She's by far, the best lawyer I've come across in my days. I would definitely would go to her if a problem ever arises again and again, because I can trust her to give me her honest opinion and take me by the hand to resolve any issue I have. I absolutely recommend her for anyone experiencing legal dilemmas.

In today's cut-throat world, an attorney of both honor and high caliber is a rather rare find. I would like to personally thank Attorney Powers for her council and expertise regarding my case. Considering my long experience with businesses and the troubles that come with them, I've had many attorneys advise me regarding various matters and each attorney has given me advice more confusing and more expensive than the last. I was on the verge of financial breakdown and the counsellors recomended to me only cared about how large a portion of my bank accounts would eventually be transfered to them. I was appalled and feared that one of these individuals would be standing as my legal advisor were my matters brought to court. On a rather ordinary day I met with one of my long time business partners and good friends whom had recently worked with Attorney Powers. He spoke so highly of her; he spoke as if she were a legal army of lawyers combined into one so I asked for her contact details. I am ashamed to say I assumed and belived she would be ridiculously overpriced and as cut-throat as the others. Usually during first time meetings with an attorney, one would have a strange atmosphere in the room where all sorts of doubts come up in your head and your wallet. Surprisingly enough, upon meeting her the room was filled with a wonderfully clear aura. It was not just another "ambulance chasing" attorney looking for their next score. I'd like to keep the matters of my consultation private, but needless to say there was no doubt in my head she HAD to be my legal counsel. Her retainer fee should have been much higher considering the wonderful work she did and I can not thank her enough for her help. She truly put my faith back into the legal system.

I hired Athina Powers to help me obtain custody of my 2 children. It seemed as though I was loosing my babies, the other parent had moved out of state and I needed counsel, I needed someone to hear my voice and understand the situation. I am FOREVER GRATEFUL I chose her. Athina is knowledgeable and personable, always staying calm and knowing exactly what to say. I felt as though I had an angel guiding me, every step of the way, ensuring through clear, constant communication that everything will fall into place. I cannot begin to explain the amount of confidence this wonderful woman was able to restore to me. Her and here team treated us like family, helping us battle some tough times, and seeing us through it all! We won the case-full custody granted to me! Your forever in our prayers, Athina.

Where can I even start with Ms. Powers and her team! Ms. Powers definitely took on my very complicated restraining order case. Her and Joanna worked tirelessly to get my case solved. At the end we won the case! It definitely was a lot of time on effort on everyone’s part, but she did not give up. She takes the time to understand her clients needs and basically become family! Thank you to her and the team!

There are lawyers who look at you as their income and then there are lawyers who God blessed with the compassion and understanding of the law to defend those persons who don't know how to defend them them selves when they are thrown in the legal court system. Living in a No fault state of California I thought that I didn't' have a chance, until I met Mrs. Powers I have to be very careful on what I say about my situation on social media, but I had to post a positive review about her, She is a God sent. She is so smart, if you have a potential fraud case she is that person to hire. Mrs. Powers is Family law at it's best a bonus when she specializes in Fraud. I could see by our conversation that she takes every situation personal. Which is what you want when an attorney is representing you. I hated to go through this but I won't be manipulated any longer from my husband that abandoned our family and a restaurant business venture he got us involved in. I can see that she will truly fight for the kids and I and I would like to do everything possible to let other persons who find them selves lost in this whole legal system of trying to find the right family law attorney to know of her. After the first lawyer sent me before a judge without representation and told me to just read off an email he sent me on what to say and a lawyer that just saw me as just another income I was giving up hope. I prayed about it this time, I had looked on Aavo before but Mrs. Powers name never came up. She is clearly the one and I would recommend her to anyone. She knows the law extremely well and has ethics. I just feel like a heavy weight is finally lifted off of me knowing she is the one to represent me. Thank you Athina

I was helpless and tried the Avvo, Mrs. Powers is the only one replys me. She is so nice and patience, even if my case is confused. I was trying to tell her the problems I faced, and she replys me everytime with ideas and helpful informations. Thank you Mrs. Powers, my English is not very good, but thank you for your kindness and your strong spirit makes me see the dawn.

Athina, Thank you! not only did you answer all my questions, you helped to motivate me re3garding the situation. Definitely happy that a service like Avvo exists and I will definitely have Athina on speed-dial :) Very happy customer, Christina Martinez

Excellent!

Athina's legal pedigree and personal demeanor far out-shined her peers -- and I've talked to more than my fair share of attorneys and firms concerning my legal matter. Her advice was spot-on.

Prior to my conversation with Athina Powers, I had never heard of her, in fact even before our call I didn't review her profile as I elected to allow AVVO to auto connect me with an attorney based on the nature of my situation in which case you're provided with the attorney's profile after the call. My phone rang less than 5 minutes after I paid the AVVO fee... and shortly there after I realized I was speaking to an attorney who was clearly extremely capable. Athina listened to everything I had to say and then responded with the kind of confidence that can't be faked. Not only was she able to very clearly addressed the finer points of my concerns (which I thought I hadn't done a very good job explaining to her in the first place), but she didn't miss a thing, and then went on to point out a few possibilities that I hadn't occurred to me as viable options (and this is a testament to her intelligence considering the caliber of people who had previously been assisting me with my legal concerns). She brought a rare balance of knowing when to emphasize important points of my situation while simultaneously bringing a very appropriate sort of levity and humor to the conversation that not only provided me with a sense of empowerment but also an overwhelming feeling that I'm going to make it out of this situation and can do with flying colors. A few minutes after we finished our call I got follow up email from AVVO asking me to rate my experience with Athina. Her profile was attached to the email which was impressive to say the least and certainly came as no surprise as my experience was the type you have when you're dealing with the Real McCoy. By the way I have never responded to these sort of follow up "rating request" emails only because in the past they've seemed like a complete waist of time .. but Athina and my experience with AVVO is a horse of a different color and was so impressed that I wanted to share my experience and opinion with others who might need some reassurance in making a decision. Amazing !

I spent hundreds in consultation fees and hourly fees, and came to the final and dreaded conclusion that the people I'm paying to advise me actually don't care in the least about the outcome of my situation but rather about how much they can bleed me dry. Up until that point, I was still living in that "It can happen to anyone, but not me" fantasy. I was down on my luck and the problem with my client was increasing by the day. It wasn't until I found Ms. Athina Karamanlis Powers that my problems were resolved. This savior gave me her time and her advice and assured me that the end result will be to my benefit. And it was!!! The fees she charged were reasonable and winning the case was absolutely worth every penny I spent listening to her. My client paid me all the fees that he owed me for my work and there have been no complaints or comebacks from him for nearly a year. She's by far, the best lawyer I've come across in my days. I would definitely would go to her if a problem ever arises again and again, because I can trust her to give me her honest opinion and take me by the hand to resolve any issue I have. I absolutely recommend her for anyone experiencing legal dilemmas.

In today's cut-throat world, an attorney of both honor and high caliber is a rather rare find. I would like to personally thank Attorney Powers for her council and expertise regarding my case. Considering my long experience with businesses and the troubles that come with them, I've had many attorneys advise me regarding various matters and each attorney has given me advice more confusing and more expensive than the last. I was on the verge of financial breakdown and the counsellors recomended to me only cared about how large a portion of my bank accounts would eventually be transfered to them. I was appalled and feared that one of these individuals would be standing as my legal advisor were my matters brought to court. On a rather ordinary day I met with one of my long time business partners and good friends whom had recently worked with Attorney Powers. He spoke so highly of her; he spoke as if she were a legal army of lawyers combined into one so I asked for her contact details. I am ashamed to say I assumed and belived she would be ridiculously overpriced and as cut-throat as the others. Usually during first time meetings with an attorney, one would have a strange atmosphere in the room where all sorts of doubts come up in your head and your wallet. Surprisingly enough, upon meeting her the room was filled with a wonderfully clear aura. It was not just another "ambulance chasing" attorney looking for their next score. I'd like to keep the matters of my consultation private, but needless to say there was no doubt in my head she HAD to be my legal counsel. Her retainer fee should have been much higher considering the wonderful work she did and I can not thank her enough for her help. She truly put my faith back into the legal system.

I hired Athina Powers to help me obtain custody of my 2 children. It seemed as though I was loosing my babies, the other parent had moved out of state and I needed counsel, I needed someone to hear my voice and understand the situation. I am FOREVER GRATEFUL I chose her. Athina is knowledgeable and personable, always staying calm and knowing exactly what to say. I felt as though I had an angel guiding me, every step of the way, ensuring through clear, constant communication that everything will fall into place. I cannot begin to explain the amount of confidence this wonderful woman was able to restore to me. Her and here team treated us like family, helping us battle some tough times, and seeing us through it all! We won the case-full custody granted to me! Your forever in our prayers, Athina.

Where can I even start with Ms. Powers and her team! Ms. Powers definitely took on my very complicated restraining order case. Her and Joanna worked tirelessly to get my case solved. At the end we won the case! It definitely was a lot of time on effort on everyone’s part, but she did not give up. She takes the time to understand her clients needs and basically become family! Thank you to her and the team!

There are lawyers who look at you as their income and then there are lawyers who God blessed with the compassion and understanding of the law to defend those persons who don't know how to defend them them selves when they are thrown in the legal court system. Living in a No fault state of California I thought that I didn't' have a chance, until I met Mrs. Powers I have to be very careful on what I say about my situation on social media, but I had to post a positive review about her, She is a God sent. She is so smart, if you have a potential fraud case she is that person to hire. Mrs. Powers is Family law at it's best a bonus when she specializes in Fraud. I could see by our conversation that she takes every situation personal. Which is what you want when an attorney is representing you. I hated to go through this but I won't be manipulated any longer from my husband that abandoned our family and a restaurant business venture he got us involved in. I can see that she will truly fight for the kids and I and I would like to do everything possible to let other persons who find them selves lost in this whole legal system of trying to find the right family law attorney to know of her. After the first lawyer sent me before a judge without representation and told me to just read off an email he sent me on what to say and a lawyer that just saw me as just another income I was giving up hope. I prayed about it this time, I had looked on Aavo before but Mrs. Powers name never came up. She is clearly the one and I would recommend her to anyone. She knows the law extremely well and has ethics. I just feel like a heavy weight is finally lifted off of me knowing she is the one to represent me. Thank you Athina

I was helpless and tried the Avvo, Mrs. Powers is the only one replys me. She is so nice and patience, even if my case is confused. I was trying to tell her the problems I faced, and she replys me everytime with ideas and helpful informations. Thank you Mrs. Powers, my English is not very good, but thank you for your kindness and your strong spirit makes me see the dawn.

Athina, Thank you! not only did you answer all my questions, you helped to motivate me re3garding the situation. Definitely happy that a service like Avvo exists and I will definitely have Athina on speed-dial :) Very happy customer, Christina Martinez

Excellent!

Athina's legal pedigree and personal demeanor far out-shined her peers -- and I've talked to more than my fair share of attorneys and firms concerning my legal matter. Her advice was spot-on.

Prior to my conversation with Athina Powers, I had never heard of her, in fact even before our call I didn't review her profile as I elected to allow AVVO to auto connect me with an attorney based on the nature of my situation in which case you're provided with the attorney's profile after the call. My phone rang less than 5 minutes after I paid the AVVO fee... and shortly there after I realized I was speaking to an attorney who was clearly extremely capable. Athina listened to everything I had to say and then responded with the kind of confidence that can't be faked. Not only was she able to very clearly addressed the finer points of my concerns (which I thought I hadn't done a very good job explaining to her in the first place), but she didn't miss a thing, and then went on to point out a few possibilities that I hadn't occurred to me as viable options (and this is a testament to her intelligence considering the caliber of people who had previously been assisting me with my legal concerns). She brought a rare balance of knowing when to emphasize important points of my situation while simultaneously bringing a very appropriate sort of levity and humor to the conversation that not only provided me with a sense of empowerment but also an overwhelming feeling that I'm going to make it out of this situation and can do with flying colors. A few minutes after we finished our call I got follow up email from AVVO asking me to rate my experience with Athina. Her profile was attached to the email which was impressive to say the least and certainly came as no surprise as my experience was the type you have when you're dealing with the Real McCoy. By the way I have never responded to these sort of follow up "rating request" emails only because in the past they've seemed like a complete waist of time .. but Athina and my experience with AVVO is a horse of a different color and was so impressed that I wanted to share my experience and opinion with others who might need some reassurance in making a decision. Amazing !

I spent hundreds in consultation fees and hourly fees, and came to the final and dreaded conclusion that the people I'm paying to advise me actually don't care in the least about the outcome of my situation but rather about how much they can bleed me dry. Up until that point, I was still living in that "It can happen to anyone, but not me" fantasy. I was down on my luck and the problem with my client was increasing by the day. It wasn't until I found Ms. Athina Karamanlis Powers that my problems were resolved. This savior gave me her time and her advice and assured me that the end result will be to my benefit. And it was!!! The fees she charged were reasonable and winning the case was absolutely worth every penny I spent listening to her. My client paid me all the fees that he owed me for my work and there have been no complaints or comebacks from him for nearly a year. She's by far, the best lawyer I've come across in my days. I would definitely would go to her if a problem ever arises again and again, because I can trust her to give me her honest opinion and take me by the hand to resolve any issue I have. I absolutely recommend her for anyone experiencing legal dilemmas.

In today's cut-throat world, an attorney of both honor and high caliber is a rather rare find. I would like to personally thank Attorney Powers for her council and expertise regarding my case. Considering my long experience with businesses and the troubles that come with them, I've had many attorneys advise me regarding various matters and each attorney has given me advice more confusing and more expensive than the last. I was on the verge of financial breakdown and the counsellors recomended to me only cared about how large a portion of my bank accounts would eventually be transfered to them. I was appalled and feared that one of these individuals would be standing as my legal advisor were my matters brought to court. On a rather ordinary day I met with one of my long time business partners and good friends whom had recently worked with Attorney Powers. He spoke so highly of her; he spoke as if she were a legal army of lawyers combined into one so I asked for her contact details. I am ashamed to say I assumed and belived she would be ridiculously overpriced and as cut-throat as the others. Usually during first time meetings with an attorney, one would have a strange atmosphere in the room where all sorts of doubts come up in your head and your wallet. Surprisingly enough, upon meeting her the room was filled with a wonderfully clear aura. It was not just another "ambulance chasing" attorney looking for their next score. I'd like to keep the matters of my consultation private, but needless to say there was no doubt in my head she HAD to be my legal counsel. Her retainer fee should have been much higher considering the wonderful work she did and I can not thank her enough for her help. She truly put my faith back into the legal system.

I hired Athina Powers to help me obtain custody of my 2 children. It seemed as though I was loosing my babies, the other parent had moved out of state and I needed counsel, I needed someone to hear my voice and understand the situation. I am FOREVER GRATEFUL I chose her. Athina is knowledgeable and personable, always staying calm and knowing exactly what to say. I felt as though I had an angel guiding me, every step of the way, ensuring through clear, constant communication that everything will fall into place. I cannot begin to explain the amount of confidence this wonderful woman was able to restore to me. Her and here team treated us like family, helping us battle some tough times, and seeing us through it all! We won the case-full custody granted to me! Your forever in our prayers, Athina.

Where can I even start with Ms. Powers and her team! Ms. Powers definitely took on my very complicated restraining order case. Her and Joanna worked tirelessly to get my case solved. At the end we won the case! It definitely was a lot of time on effort on everyone’s part, but she did not give up. She takes the time to understand her clients needs and basically become family! Thank you to her and the team!

There are lawyers who look at you as their income and then there are lawyers who God blessed with the compassion and understanding of the law to defend those persons who don't know how to defend them them selves when they are thrown in the legal court system. Living in a No fault state of California I thought that I didn't' have a chance, until I met Mrs. Powers I have to be very careful on what I say about my situation on social media, but I had to post a positive review about her, She is a God sent. She is so smart, if you have a potential fraud case she is that person to hire. Mrs. Powers is Family law at it's best a bonus when she specializes in Fraud. I could see by our conversation that she takes every situation personal. Which is what you want when an attorney is representing you. I hated to go through this but I won't be manipulated any longer from my husband that abandoned our family and a restaurant business venture he got us involved in. I can see that she will truly fight for the kids and I and I would like to do everything possible to let other persons who find them selves lost in this whole legal system of trying to find the right family law attorney to know of her. After the first lawyer sent me before a judge without representation and told me to just read off an email he sent me on what to say and a lawyer that just saw me as just another income I was giving up hope. I prayed about it this time, I had looked on Aavo before but Mrs. Powers name never came up. She is clearly the one and I would recommend her to anyone. She knows the law extremely well and has ethics. I just feel like a heavy weight is finally lifted off of me knowing she is the one to represent me. Thank you Athina

I was helpless and tried the Avvo, Mrs. Powers is the only one replys me. She is so nice and patience, even if my case is confused. I was trying to tell her the problems I faced, and she replys me everytime with ideas and helpful informations. Thank you Mrs. Powers, my English is not very good, but thank you for your kindness and your strong spirit makes me see the dawn.

Athina, Thank you! not only did you answer all my questions, you helped to motivate me re3garding the situation. Definitely happy that a service like Avvo exists and I will definitely have Athina on speed-dial :) Very happy customer, Christina Martinez

Excellent!

Athina's legal pedigree and personal demeanor far out-shined her peers -- and I've talked to more than my fair share of attorneys and firms concerning my legal matter. Her advice was spot-on.

Prior to my conversation with Athina Powers, I had never heard of her, in fact even before our call I didn't review her profile as I elected to allow AVVO to auto connect me with an attorney based on the nature of my situation in which case you're provided with the attorney's profile after the call. My phone rang less than 5 minutes after I paid the AVVO fee... and shortly there after I realized I was speaking to an attorney who was clearly extremely capable. Athina listened to everything I had to say and then responded with the kind of confidence that can't be faked. Not only was she able to very clearly addressed the finer points of my concerns (which I thought I hadn't done a very good job explaining to her in the first place), but she didn't miss a thing, and then went on to point out a few possibilities that I hadn't occurred to me as viable options (and this is a testament to her intelligence considering the caliber of people who had previously been assisting me with my legal concerns). She brought a rare balance of knowing when to emphasize important points of my situation while simultaneously bringing a very appropriate sort of levity and humor to the conversation that not only provided me with a sense of empowerment but also an overwhelming feeling that I'm going to make it out of this situation and can do with flying colors. A few minutes after we finished our call I got follow up email from AVVO asking me to rate my experience with Athina. Her profile was attached to the email which was impressive to say the least and certainly came as no surprise as my experience was the type you have when you're dealing with the Real McCoy. By the way I have never responded to these sort of follow up "rating request" emails only because in the past they've seemed like a complete waist of time .. but Athina and my experience with AVVO is a horse of a different color and was so impressed that I wanted to share my experience and opinion with others who might need some reassurance in making a decision. Amazing !
