LEGAL Q&A

At PRILI – RODIS Law Firm, we will guide you in advance on which documents are necessary for your case when scheduling your appointment. However, during the initial consultation, it is essential to bring any and all documents related to your legal matter, so we can lay a solid foundation for your case.

For example:

• In inheritance cases: A death certificate of the deceased, certificate of next of kin, and property deeds related to the estate.
• In family law matters, such as mutual consent divorce: Marriage certificate, family status certificate, and rental contract of the marital residence, among others.

Even if you're unsure, it’s better to bring too much documentation than too little. During your visit, we will assess and filter through the documents to determine what is legally relevant.

And of course, there’s no need to worry. Our legal team will provide you with clear instructions on what is required and where to obtain any missing paperwork.

At PRILI – RODIS Law Firm, we are always available to assist individuals who reach out—whether through referrals or by chance—by offering tailored legal guidance and support.

However, it’s important to understand that legal services are serious, responsible, and complex. Many legal matters cannot and should not be handled superficially, over the phone or via quick messages. In order to receive accurate and safe legal advice, it’s necessary to have a comprehensive consultation—either in person or via secure video call—where we can gather a full history of your case, assess the situation thoroughly, and determine the most appropriate legal strategy together.

! Avoid relying on generic or offhand advice—it may lead to serious consequences, for which you alone will bear the burden.

Legal representation is a complex and professional service, and as mentioned previously, it requires a thorough understanding of the matter before any estimate can be provided.

At PRILI – RODIS Law Firm, we first need to schedule a face-to-face or video consultation in order to:

• take a detailed history of your case,
• evaluate its legal complexity, and
• define the necessary procedures.

Only then can we provide a transparent and tailored cost estimate.

Legal fees depend on numerous factors, including:

• the nature and complexity of the case,
• the time required,
• the type of court involved (e.g., Magistrate Court vs. Multi-Member Court of First Instance),
• required government fees,
• document serving costs,
• and whether expert witnesses or specialists are needed.

There is no one-size-fits-all fee—we assess each case individually to ensure fairness and full legal coverage.

Absolutely. One of the core principles at PRILI – RODIS Law Firm is providing legal services that adapt to the demands of modern life—especially for clients with limited availability due to personal or professional obligations.

We strongly believe that effective legal representation is not defined by physical proximity, but by:

• Responsiveness,
• Consistency,
• Confidentiality, and
• Result-oriented service—values that define our firm.

That’s why we work seamlessly with clients both in Greece and abroad—whether you're located in Canada, the United States, Australia, or anywhere else in the world.

We offer remote consultations via:

• Skype,
• Viber,
• WhatsApp,
• or any platform convenient for you,
  accommodating your local time zone and availability.

Your location is never a barrier to receiving professional, personalized legal support.

If you have received a formal request to appear at a Police Department or a Magistrate Court in connection with a criminal investigation—as a suspect or person of interest—you must appear in person at the stated date and time, carrying your official ID.

Upon arrival, you should request and receive copies of the criminal file and also ask for a time extension (“deadline”) to prepare your legal response.

At PRILI – RODIS Law Firm, we will:

• review the entire file,
• guide you in gathering the necessary documents and evidence to support your case, and
• draft your Written Statement of Explanation, which is essential for your defense.

If you are unable to appear or handle this process yourself, we can act on your behalf with your written authorization.

It is crucial that you do not respond hastily or without legal preparation. Your initial actions can significantly impact the outcome of your case.

Real estate transactions are a significant financial and legal undertaking, whether for individuals or businesses. Most involve long-term loans or lifetime savings—so proper due diligence is essential.

At PRILI – RODIS Law Firm, we specialize in property transactions and title due diligence. Our legal services include:

• A thorough review of the property’s ownership titles
• Investigation of any legal encumbrances (e.g. mortgages, liens, pre-notations, seizures)
• Collaboration with civil engineers to check the urban planning and legal compliance of the property

We maintain a trusted network of notaries and engineers to ensure that your investment is legally sound and future-proof.

Never rely solely on documents provided by the seller. Legal terms, hidden debts, or planning violations can easily be missed unless assessed by a qualified property lawyer.

Before signing anything, make sure a legal expert you trust has reviewed everything—your financial security depends on it.
