John S. Fotopoulos established his law firm on two simple firm principles: to have competitive rates allowing everyone to afford the advice they need and to have legal counsel that is always available for clients.
John takes immense pride in his work, fulfilling a great deal of credits in continuing education seminars to ensure compliance and competency.
