Having obtained her law degree from the Democritus University Law School in Thrace of Greece in 1997 and after completing her training period in 1999, since then she has been practicing law.
In the year 2016 she has obtained her PhD degree in Criminal Law from the same university, being amongst the few in Greece who have the title of Doctor in criminal law and the first who has dealt in depth with bullying as a crime.
She is bilingual Greek and English, having dual nationality and she speaks fluently another four languages French, German, Italian and Spanish. She is selected as one of the most reputable lawyers, being proposed by the British embassy, American Embassy, French Embassy, Norwegian Embassy and Australian Embassy. She represents many important organisations and companies such as insurance companies, banks, the American Navy for soldiers being prosecuted on the greek courts, public insurance companies, the association of hotels in the region of Chania and she is one of the lawyers representing the Municipality of Chania.
Throughout the years, Dr Elvi Stassinou, has dealt with many cases that had been extremely complex in criminal law, property law, real-estate law and vehicle accident law, where she has managed working always as a team with her clients, to achieve the best possible outcome. Her clients, are always completely satisfied because not only they have the best possible result, but always, she has constant communication with them, informing them of every detail of the case.

We have just completed a transaction where we have purchased a small land parcel in Crete Greece. Having just made Greek wills with the help of Elvi Stassinou we asked her to handle the land purchase as we were impressed with the way she handled the will process. Having got started on the purchase there were a number of problems encountered along the way but Elvi dealt with all in a very efficient and speedy way. We were very impressed that all our questions and emails were responded to very quickly and we felt fully informed all through the buying process. We strongly recommend Elvi for any legal needs and will be dealing with her in the future when the need arises.
Christopher FordWords cannot describe our admiration for Elvi. We were lucky to have her as our solicitor back in 2003/04 when she successfully guided us through the purchase of our property in Crete. She was so helpful to us all that time ago.
Philip ClipsonMy family visited Greece last year. We unfortunately had a car accident and needed the assistance of a lawyer to handle the complicated situation. She was extraordiary! She helped deescalate a hostile situation with the car rental people, and worked as our liason throughout the lengthy insurance claim and review, after we had returned to the United States. Elvi was prompt with all requests and thorough with all documents. I highly recommend her!

Louise ParkerElvi has just completed the sale of my property in Sternes, Ackrotri. There were many complications with the sale as I had been seperated from my husband for many years and I no longer lived in Crete. However Elvi dealt with every issue that arose promptly and efficiently. I gave her Power of Attorney and she had control over the sale, including full control of my bank account. Elvi is very approachable, she answered all my questions and replied to all my emails, keeping me fully informed throughout the process. She used her vast experience and did all she could to get the best possible outcome for me. I strongly recommend Elvi for any legal needs.

She has been immeasurably helpful and effective on my behalf, and on behalf of those others associated with me. For her conscientious representation, assistance, guidance and counsel I am extremely grateful, and feel blessed that she has been our advocate over the years. Any person or organization represented by her is supremely fortunate indeed.
Allan HanrahanElvi is WONDERFUL. I’ve been working with her for almost 2 years. I live in the USA so communication was a bit of a challenge but she always explained until I understood. My dad inherited some property in Greece and she was so helpful. We finally finalized on it. Thank you Elvi for all the hard work. I do hope to meet you someday.
Patti RouteElvi was our lawyer for a complex residency permit requirement. She was extremely reliable and very helpful throughout, always responding quickly. She found out exactly what documents we needed to get for the process and helped us get these things when she could. She then handled the conversations with the immigration department. The end result - we have the residency permit we need with the least possible hassle. I highly recommend Elvi.
Paul JenningsElvi has been - and is - our rock! Without her we would have given up but thansk to Elvi we have been able to move forward towards building our house in a rather challenging legal environment.

Cecilia EmanuelsonI had the good fortune to hire Elvi to deal with the difficulty I was having with the electricity supply- she was energetic, efficient and tenacious.

I am impressed with her highly ethical stance, and her strong sense of responsibility tp her client. Thank you very much, Elvi.
