Neve:

Konstantinos is absolutely brilliant. I obtained Konstantinos help after a previous lawyer in Athens made an absolute mess of my paperwork. There were a lot of bumps along the way but he was able to quickly create a new game plan after each hurdle. Incredibly hard working, assisted me with both ΑΦΜ και ΑΜΚΑ. Couldn’t recommend him more, as well as Sofia who was incredibly approachable and kind. They were happy to educate me on Greek rules/laws etc without making it seem like a chore. Always happy to answer my questions whilst assuring there was no such thing as a “stupid question”. Overall, a firm full of incredibly supportive lawyers who work hard to achieve the desired results.
