Legal malpractice

One of his lawyers did not honor client’s request on a divorce settlement, 2 years wasted and tossed to the side , I thought they work for the client but his lawyer did the opposite sad shameful service

Money Driven

Extreme miscommunication. More interested in what I could gain personally vs my family as a whole. I regret not moving forward with someone who keeps family values in mind while pursuing a divorce. He is a “one size fits all” solution type of attorney.

Best in the business

Paris and his team always had my back. He was always 2 steps ahead of my ex wife's attorney. He was always there to guide me, and called me out when I made mistakes. Paris always tells it like it is. No beating around the bush. I would absolutely recommend him and I would absolutely use him again. H...e got the best possible outcome for my boys and I.

This is the attorney you want.

I began my divorce proceedings with a lawyer who only concerned himself with separating the client from his or her money and drag out the divorce to that end. I fired that lawyer and hired Paris P. Eliades, Esq., who is the exact opposite of the first lawyer. Mr. Eliades strives to complete divorce... proceedings as efficiently as possible, always with an eye to saving his client paying unnecessary monies towards that end. Mr. Eliades is always prepared in court, unlike some other attorneys I have observed. He and his staff are competent and knowledgeable regarding their jobs and responsibilities to their client. I recommend Mr. Eliades highly if you are in need of his services.

Paris Eliades

I don't know where to begin as far as explaining how glad I am that I chose Paris to represent me in a stressful, complicated divorce. In a field that seems ripe with lawyers trying to drag things out in an effort to heighten their fees, Paris stands out as one of the huge exceptions. When a fr...iend recommended that I use Paris for my divorce, she told me that I needed a "pitbull" based on some of the things that my ex-husband was doing. I certainly got a pitbull, but what I didn't know at the time was that I was getting a pitbull with a heart. He is a brilliant lawyer and strategist, for sure, but he also has a true sense of ethics, and he is an extremely compassionate person. His stellar reputation is what drew me to his office in the first place, and he still managed to exceed my expectations. There were so many times I would send out texts to friends or family at 1AM when I was still lying awake worried about this whole process and the antics of my ex-husband, and they would respond with “Trust Paris. If he isn’t worried you shouldn’t be. And if he is worried, he’s going to do more about it than you ever could. Trust Paris.” And that became my mantra - TRUST PARIS. I would say it almost daily, and it brought me a tremendous sense of calm and peace when I needed it most. The bottom line is that divorce, especially one where children are involved, is a terrifying, exhausting process. Everyone will give you advice and their opinion on what they would do, but you need an expert in the field in order to ease some of the anxiety and trust that you are getting a fair and reasonable settlement. I was able to trust Paris because of his ethics and strength of conviction, and I ended up with a more than favorable divorce settlement because of his legal expertise and knowledge, skills in the courtroom, his long range strategy, and the commitment he has to his clients. I am certainly not the only one with the utmost respect for Paris. Every time we were in court, Paris was greeted by lawyers, clerks, and other prominent members of the community who clearly held him in high esteem. I am ever grateful to Paris and everyone in his office.
