I worked exclusively with Alex Xanttopoulos at ROOP XANTTOPOULOS BABOUNAKIS & KLAM PLLC. He is as close as an attorney gets to “really care for you and your family”, being upfront, about disclosing likelihood of outcomes, and cost estimates, and worthiness of a particular legal path chosen. There have been many times where I got fired up and wanted to take a legal action, which would be in firm’s financial interest, but Alex calmed me down, keeping my children’s interest at heart. Among mostly corrupt legal system, where attorneys are incentivized to create work for themselves by increasing conflict between ex’s, it is hard to find an attorney like him. Alex is a hard to find gem.
I could not be happier about choosing Alex Xanttopoulos to represent me. I was thoroughly impressed the entire time with Alex’s knowledge and his abilities as a family attorney. He always took the time to explain everything that was happening and all my options moving forward without his knowledge and opinion there is no way I would have been able to navigate through such a difficult time. Alex had a game plan the entire time and did what he could to prevent having to litigate, But once that was not possible he was already ready with a plan for trial. Once in the courtroom it was clear his skills as a litigator are second to none. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of Alex and everyone else at ROOP XANTTOPOULOS BABOUNAKIS & KLAM PLLC I had the pleasure to work with, they really helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life.
ROOP XANTTOPOULOS BABOUNAKIS & KLAM PLLC is amazing. They were able to effectively manage my case above my expectations. As a professional service provider, my standards are high with respect to what I demand out of others. They met and exceeded my expectations. Alex’s ability to keep me on the path was incredible. I highly recommend Alex and ROOP XANTTOPOULOS BABOUNAKIS & KLAM PLLC.
