Athena,
With the conclusion of the case, I have observed you to be diligent, well organized, intelligent and compassionate in handling a tricky situation well with a adversary that was difficult, contrary and obstinate. Thank you.

I have worked with Athena Roussos on numerous legal matters in the past five years. I routinely seek her expertise in complicated law and motion matters and I continue being impressed by the extraordinary work product she produces time after time. In my opinion, she is one of the top three attorneys in the Sacramento area.

I first met Athena Roussos when we were appellate co-counsel on a large property division case in the Bay Area.  I was immediately impressed by her knowledge, by her calm demeanor, and by her compassion for our mutual client.  Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with her on numerous matters.  I routinely retain her to edit my appellate briefs and to help me on finer points on appellate law.  She is a consummate professional.

Athena was recommended to us by a well respected law firm, a recommendation that brought us great legal counsel.  She was efficient, always prepared, and worked with us throughout the case.  In the end Athena put us in a position to win, which we did. We are very pleased with Athena, and her work, and highly recommend her services.

Our family currently resides on the east coast and we had an appeal filed in California appealing The Hague Convention decision in our custody hearing for our son.  We found Athena Roussos and from the very beginning she was empathetic to our situation and took extensive time to explain what needed to be done for our case.  Ms. Roussos was deeply involved in every step of the process of our case and was available whenever we had questions or concerns.  With her knowledge, expertise and dedication, Ms. Roussos successfully won our appeal and kept our family together.  Ms. Roussos has also taken the time to assist in other legal questions we have had in regards to custody and always takes the time to explain the status of our case, and gives her recommendations on what needs to be done.  Her knowledge, experience, and her empathy to our situation has kept our family together and we are forever grateful.

In my entire experience regarding my case under the Hague Convention for Parental Child Abduction, Athena was the most exceptional attorney to represent me.  Athena's work ethic and dedication are unmatched.  What really stood out for me was that she was able to understand what needed to get done and used her knowledge to protect me and my child.  Instead of only seeing what is, Athena has the innovative perspective and mindset of looking for what could be and takes well-measured actions. Athena's open lines of communication and patience in educating her clients puts her in a unique position to better deliver guidance and counsel to her clients. I don’t know what I would have done without her.
