Lawyers for the People. Free Consultations!

Scarzafava & Basdekis, PLLC has been acknowledged for their tireless efforts on behalf of the injured. Our firm represents only the injured. We never have and never will represent those entities in our society which oppress the injured; including insurance companies, corporations and government.

Our lawyers have helped change and clarify injury law in the states of New York and Texas, including one of the landmark injury cases in New York State. Such commitment and accomplishment has been recognized within the legal profession. Along the way, Scarzafava & Basdekis, PLLC has been selected by other lawyers for inclusion in The Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. Theo has been recognized by his peers with an AV Preeminent Rating, by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel as being in the Top 1% of lawyers in his field, by the National Trial Lawyers Association as a Top 100 Lawyer and is included in NYS Super Lawyers. The firm has the highest possible rating in the venerable Martindale Hubbell rating guide.

Our record in the courtroom has enhanced our ability to settle cases. There is only one incentive for an insurance company to settle a case for full value: that's the knowledge that the law firm will beat them in the court room. We have defeated, in courtrooms across the country, the largest corporations in the world. We take great pride in defeating the powerful on behalf of those who would otherwise have no voice. It is indeed an honor to champion the cause of the people!

Hired Attorney Theodoros (Theo) Basdekis

Theo was great, he never treated me like a client or a paycheck, he treated me like a friend. If I needed anything in between visits all I had to do was pick up the phone.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
