In my experience, Demetra serves her clients extremely well.
She truly knows family law and the contracts/agreements that come with it.
She gave me all of the advice I needed to make the best decision for me and my children (adopted).
Throughout the time I worked with her, I always felt that Demetra presented all options to me honestly and objectively.
When I decided to go with the long shot, Demetra was very frank with me that the likelihood of the outcome I wanted was slim.
But Demetra gave it her all, even when opposing counsel submitted her response at the last possible minute.
