I cannot recommend the attorney Mr. Ricks and his paralegal Ms. Harclerode from the Katsarelis Law Firm highly enough. I was facing serious criminal charges, and the stakes couldn't have been higher. From day one, they took the time to explain the entire court process before every single proceeding, making sure I always knew what my chances were and what potential punishments I was facing if things didn't go our way. What sets Mr. Ricks and Ms. Harclerode apart is their deep understanding of the law. They immediately saw that the charges against me simply did not fit what I was accused of doing. Instead of pushing me to take an easy plea deal, they aggressively kept in contact with the prosecuting attorney. They made sure the prosecution knew every single fact of the case, and I was not pleading guilty to a crime I did not commit, and we were fully prepared to go to trial, where the state would lose based on the evidence. Because Mr. Ricks and Ms. Harclerode made sure the prosecution knew everything and refused to back down, the state ultimately dismissed the case. If you want a defense attorney who will truly listen to you, explain your options honestly, and fight relentlessly for your innocence, please hire Mr. Ricks and Ms. Harclerode from the Katsarelis Law Firm.

I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Katsarelis, from my first phone call with him up until the very end he reassured myself and my Husband that he would fight for us! And he did just that. My husband was fearful most times but Mr. Katsarelis kept assuring him it would be OK! He is very well respected in and outside of the courtroom and that is something to admire about his character. He truly wants the best for his clients and we are so thankful he took our case, my Husband received the best possible outcome. Thank you so much Mr. Katsarelis, your dedication to my Husband’s case does not go unnoticed! Anyone needing an excellent attorney who will fight for you, it is definitely him!
I recently retained Katsarelis Law and Rafael Gallego to represent me in a civil case. Rafael provided outstanding counsel and stayed in frequent contact. He met with me several times to review information and ensure he fully understood my case. If I ever had a question, he always returned my call the same day; usually within an hour or two. I was impressed by Rafael's excellent working relationships with other attorneys. Because of that, he was able to quickly negotiate a favorable resolution for me where other local firms had failed. I highly recommend Katsarelis Law and Rafael Gallego.
Thank you, Ann! We’re glad you felt well informed and supported throughout your case. We truly appreciate your trust in us and your thoughtful recommendation.

If you are looking for a team who will fight on your behalf, treat you with care and dignity, be knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, respectful and genuine, this is the team you need. The Katsarelis Team was beyond anything I could have ever asked for, saved me more than I can explain and truly made me feel like I was in great hands and could finally relax. They are incredibly sweet individuals who I will happily go back to if I ever needed it and recommend to anyone who may need a lawyer. Sammie was my wonderful lawyer and is a phenomenal person and lawyer. Efthymios took my calls and texts and made me feel listened to, respected and trusted me with kindness even though I was falling apart. I cannot recommend this team enough!

I cannot praise lawyer Sammie Reilly, Esq. and Katsarelis Law PLLC enough. So professional, responsive, complete, and effective. Needing a lawyer typically involves a less than desirable situation. Sammie and the Katsarelis staff moved forward on my needs very quickly and efficiently. They communicated with me in a consistent and understandable manner. All interactions were thorough, constructive, and positive. Sammie was always very personable and clearly always did her homework. I never had any doubt she represented me and my best interests. Many thanks!
