Andreas Vasilatos

Attorney Andreas Vasilatos practices law with one guiding principle: an attorney may have many cases, but a client only has one life. In other words, no matter how many times an attorney has handled a certain type of case, the one before him should never be treated as routine, because it may mean everything to his client.

If Andreas’ personal experience makes him a compassionate advocate, his professional background makes him an effective one. He has diverse litigation experience in various areas of law including divorce, business and commercial litigation, commercial real estate litigation, and more. Because family and matrimonial law often intersects with business, real estate, and financial law, Andreas’s broad legal knowledge and the firm’s multi-disciplinary approach inures to the client’s benefit.

The firm prides itself on its ability to take cases to trial where necessary. While we hope to resolve cases by amicable settlements, we are always posturing our cases to be ready for trial to be most effective and get results our clients deserve. In fact, because of Andreas’s litigation experience, other law firms frequently retain Andreas as trial counsel or as a trial consultant, and a number of his fellow attorneys have hired him to represent them in their own divorces.

As Andreas has been known to say, "You can win at law, but lose at life." His goal is for his clients to win at law and win at life—to be successful not only in the courtroom, but in moving forward with their lives and livelihoods after their legal matter is resolved.
