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.

Divorce Trail

I hired Mr. Eliades as my Divorce Trial Attorney that concluded with a Final Judgment of Divorce ruling. We spent a great deal of time together throughout a very lengthy process (4 years) that included witness testimony, employability experts, child custody experts and countless motions. Throughout t...he process Mr. Eliades handled the court and my concerns as one would expect from an experienced attorney. A Divorce Trial should be avoided at all cost, but when that isn’t possible Mr. Eliades is an attorney I would recommend, especially when the final ruling will impact the rest of my life.

"Truly Commendable"

After learning of my husband’s Adultery in 2015, I went to see Paris Eliades to discuss a divorce. As this was a difficult time for me, Paris expressed his sympathy and was very patient with me, listening to my situation and hardships. Even though I was disoriented and emotional throughout the proces...s, it was a relief knowing Mr. Eliades, a well-known attorney, was representing me during these difficult times. As a human being it was difficult not to react to every issue that arose during my divorce. Keeping it simple and educating me on The Family Law, Paris guided me the whole way, giving me the confidence I needed to get through it. After a lengthy legal battle, Paris providing me with his superb legal skills that eventually ended my divorce in success. With his encouragement and legal advice I stand now a more powerful, smarter woman than I once was two years ago. During my experience with the legal system I have to say, I am touched by how considerate Mr. Eliades was of my time and money spent, advising me to only react to what was important. Unlike some other lawyers, Mr. Eliades does not just see every client as a dollar sign; Paris takes the time to listen to your case and pays attention to detail. Paris knows when he sees a noble person with good morals in front of him that deserves fair legal treatment. He is a family man, a very professional gentleman, and to me…like family. Paris kept me focused with my head held high remembering that the importance in life is to not let the negativity alter us or carry us backwards as some may try to do. He kept my best interests at heart and cared for me as a person…not just a client. Paris’s staff is just as professional as he is, showing the same dedication and warmth. I would highly recommend Mr. Paris Eliades to all friends, family, and anyone else that is in need of reliable legal advice.

We always use Paris !

Paris took care of my husbands divorce from his first wife. After that he has been dealing with all the custody issues i.e. visitation , child support, and so many more battles he has with his ex. Paris will tell you what you can expect and is very blunt about things. He will not tell you he can do ...something if its not practical. I would tell anyone to use Sparta Family Law (Paris)

Exceptional Attorney

This is one of the most exceptional attorneys that I have worked with. He is compassionate and truly listens. His writing is somewhat of an art, the way he expresses himself on motions is unlike any other attorney I have hired. I would strong recommend Paris without hesitation to anyone needing hel...p on any type of family matter, whether it be custody, alimony, child support or just an enforcement of any issue.
