Charleston, SC (PRWEB) September 12, 2004

Akim Anastopoulo, principal of the Anastopoulo Law Firm, LLC, Attorneys at Law, will once again star as Judge “Extreme” Akim in the second season of television's hottest new reality courtroom program, “Eye for an Eye.” The program, which captures the essence of justice and puts punishment front and center, has cleared over 70% of the country for the Fall with additional markets clamoring for this courtroom with a twist.

After representing thousands of clients who have repeatedly declared, “they want justice – not money,” attorney Akim Anastopoulo, decided to accept the lead in “Eye for an Eye” as Judge “Extreme” Akim. Akim never awards litigants money; instead he offers punishment of biblical proportions. Shattering car windows, shaving heads, and chain sawing big screen TV's in half were only some of the outrageous sentences handed down from the bench of Judge Akim in the program’s first season. You get what you give in this never before seen display of courtroom justice on "Eye for an Eye" (http://www.eyeforaneyetv.com). "Eye for an Eye" also features former boxing champion Sugar Ray Phillips as the court bailiff on the show which delivers a new form of justice – revenge!
