Deme Sotiriou

Competent and experienced, but communication could improve

I hired Deme Sotiriou of Sotiriou Wilmowski LLC after a significant car accident left me with substantial medical bills and lost wages. With his 21 years of experience and recognition in Personal Injury Litigation, I felt confident in his technical ability to handle my case. His knowledge of Missouri law, honed since his graduation from Saint Louis University School of Law, was evident throughout the process, and he ultimately secured a fair settlement. However, my experience was a mixed bag. While Deme is clearly a skilled attorney, there were periods where communication was slower than I would have liked. Updates sometimes felt reactive rather than proactive, and I occasionally had to follow up multiple times for clarifications on next steps. The wait times for returned calls or emails could be lengthy, which added to my stress during an already difficult time. He is undoubtedly a competent lawyer who knows his field, as his recognition by Best Lawyers attests, but managing client expectations and maintaining consistent communication seem to be areas where the practice could be more polished. You will get solid legal representation, but be prepared to be your own advocate in keeping the lines of dialogue open.
