Mission
Defence is not merely a profession.
It is a responsibility.
Skotanis & Associates was founded on a clear conviction: that high-calibre criminal defence cannot be reduced to standardised templates. Every case carries its own story, its own pressures, and its own stakes.
With 18 years of service in the Hellenic Police and specialist expertise in Criminal and White-Collar Criminal Law, the firm's founder understands how the prosecution thinks — and how to counter it effectively.

Prevention before prosecution
Early intervention — before the hearing, before the charge — often determines the outcome. We do not wait.
Strategy, not reaction
Every move is planned. Every argument is tested. Defence is never improvised.
Absolute confidentiality
Attorney–client privilege is not a procedural obligation. It is the foundation of our relationship.
24/7 availability
In critical moments — arrest, detention, flagrante delicto — every minute counts. We answer.
Why Us
We are not just another law firm
Christos Skotanis
In criminal law, the difference is not made in theory. It is made in how fast you react, how well you know the opposition, and how firm your defence line holds when the pressure mounts.
01
18 years in the Hellenic Police
The firm's founder served as an officer in the Hellenic Police — three years on Mykonos in a commanding role. This means he knows how the prosecution thinks, how investigative authorities operate, and where the gaps lie in case files. He does not guess. He knows.
02
Personal oversight of every case
At many firms, the client speaks with the founder only at the first meeting. Here, Christos Skotanis personally oversees every case — from the first call to the final hearing. Nothing is delegated to third parties.
03
Immediate intervention, 24 hours
Arrested at 3 a.m. on Mykonos? Detained at a police station on a Saturday night? We do not wait until Monday. Our line operates every hour, every day — because in criminal law, the first minutes determine the years that follow.
Expertise
Areas we handle
We do not take on everything. We select cases that demand strategic thinking, deep knowledge, and decisive action. This selectivity ensures that every client receives our undivided attention.
