12 July 2016 Lu Aloupas is an extraordinary lawyer. I had an issue with a neighbor who asked the court to grant a Protective Order against me. I was innocent, but I did not have the knowledge to fight this on my own. Based on online reviews, I decided to call The Law Offices 0f Lu Aloupas. This is the best decision I’ve made in a long time. In our first phone call she patiently listened to my jumbled story (I was nervous) and then advised me what to do immediately. She then asked if I would like to come to her office (she has offices in Hampton and Chesapeake) and because she sounded so knowledgeable (and calm) I agreed. When I met her in the Hampton office we went through the basics of the case and then she asked if I would like to retain her services. We discussed the price, and I agreed. Here is my opinion about the cost. Of course I think that lawyers make waaaay to much money. But as I found out, if you don’t hire a lawyer, you will be overwhelmed by the system, and by stress. Her prices are fair. There might be a cheaper lawyer, and I know there are more expensive lawyers, but her value in my case totally justified the cost. My case was heard at the York County Circuit Court. On the date of the court hearing we met before the scheduled time and she explained exactly what would happen. She said “I know you are nervous, but stay as calm as you can.” I thought that’s easy for her to say. She told me to not be surprised if the other party changes his story, it happens all the time. She said not to react to this, that she would handle it. Just listening to her gave me confidence and remarkably, I was less nervous. From the beginning the outcome never seemed to be in doubt. The other party represented himself (huge mistake) and Lu was like a TV lawyer. You honor “Motion to Separate”, objection your honor “Relevance”, Move to Strike Your Honor “Hearsay”. The Judge sided with Lu every time. The Judge dismissed the request for a protective order against me and restored all my rights. I was like someone lifted a building off my shoulders. You might have heard the saying that nobody likes lawyers until you need one. I can personally testify that if you are involved in any legal action you need a lawyer. And if you need a great lawyer, at a fair price, I can, without reservation or hesitation, recommend Ms. Lu Aloupas, Esquire. Dave

Attorney Aloupas is awesome, amazing, attentitive; she is an A-1 attorney! Stepping in as my attorney for a custody case where the judge had ruled in my favor and now was being appealed, in my opinion was akin to opening a can-of-worms. My case was bizarre in that one exactly like mine, did not exist. It was amazing how she spent hours upon hours performing research to build a strong defense for my case. Attorney Aloupas method of billing is very professional and I found the costs to be extremely reasonable. Additionally, during each court proceeding a professional court reporter was retained. Watching Attorney Aloupas argue my case, questioning the opponents, jotting down notes, and literally shutting them down during cross-examining, was a type of reassurance for me that "all would be well". At the conclusion, rather than the judge making a ruling, he requested that each counsel provide their "written" aguments. Here again Attorney Aloupas, went beyond the call of duty by putting the many hours of research and aguments into writing. Another amazing task that was well done! Within weeks Attorney Aloupas firm received a certified letter from the court, signed by the judge - he ruled in my favor - we WON!!!! I highly recommend the Aloupas Law Firm if you are looking for expertise as well as professionalism! Warmest regards Carlette Smith-Hinton (Carla)

Ms. Aloupas is great! She has been representing my family in regard to custody of my grandson and child support issues on several occasions during the past four years. She is very responsive to our questions and concerns, and always goes out of her way to ensure we understand the issues at hand and what the legal implications of the different courses of action. She has made recommendations based on her considerable experience in family law in Virginia. I trust her judgement and have no doubt that she has our best interest at heart. Ms. Aloupas has always been well prepared for the multiple court appearances. She has a very professional demeanor and her knowledge of the family court law is evident. She stands her ground and is willing to fight for best outcome for my grandson and our family. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer who is trustworthy and they can count on!

Ms. Aloupas handled my divorce and was amazing. Everything went so smoothly - even my friends were amazed that had used other attorneys for their divorce as to how quickly and smoothly my divorce was. Ms. Aloupas was understanding and handled everything in a professional manner, but with an understanding and caring heart. I felt as though she genuinely cared about what I was going through and protected my interests accordingly. She was always available and willing to take the time to explain and render her advice in a fair and reasonable manner. I had no problems at all whatsoever with her representation and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She will always be my first choice if I ever need legal counsel again in the future.

I am a mother and grandmother who came to Lou on behalf of my son and granddaughter. keep in mind my son is over 18 and she did not have to meet with me. when I walked into her office I was worried of what the future may hold for my family. Lou talked with me for about an hour or so and when I left there my hope was restored and I knew my family was in the right hands. she not only thinks of her clients but their families as well. if you are in need of a great attorney go see Lou. she will take good care of you. She fights for hers clients. God bless you Lou.

These have to be paid reviews because all of this is BS. Aloupas is not what she says she is. She will make everything seem like she has the best interest for you when she really dont.. She has been the worst experience ever!!!! Do not hire her. She will work with the state to prosecute you. She will not fight for you! Aloupas is a liar

Lu was a pleasure to work with! I have know here for over 6 years and her service was amazing. She helped me when I was in need of a lawyer. I have nothing but great things to say about her. She was professional in court and helped me reduce my reckless driving ticket down to nothing. I was so relieved to have her as my lawyer!

Carmelou Aloupas is a ponzi scheme artist. Do not hire this con practice. She gave false balances and stole money from my account. She has been reported to authorities.
