Mr. Chris Paparodis

Chris Paparodis has done a superb job for my business's and myself. He is very diligent, responsive, clear in his process. I would recommend (and have) Chris to any and all of my associates in need of his services

Posted by Kevin | March 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney

Owner

I have used Chris for eight years consistently and have never had anything but excellent service. A lot of lawyers merely do a fair job and cash your paycheck as quick as They can, Chris takes a genuine personal interest in helping you achieve the goals that you set out for. Many people complain ...that Legal fees can be extremely expensive but you get what you pay for. There are three things that you always get the best you can doctor, accountant and lawyer, and Chris is the best in his field!

Administrative law lawyer | Mar 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"When it comes to liquor law, Chris is the best of the best. His credentials and past experiences as a former Chief of multiple departments within the Division of Liquor Control are an invaluable asset that other liquor attorneys simply do not possess. Chris is known and respected within the division, the commission and the courts. I have rarely witnessed another attorney who can accomplish so much so efficiently. Don't waste your time and money somewhere else. Call Chris and get things done right. Without a doubt, I highly endorse this lawyer."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Chris Paparodis for many years for liquor permit issues. Chris is the best in the business for this expertise. Chris has successfully navigated our joint clients through the liquor permitting bureaucratic process many times. And he has achieved successful outcomes when others said they were impossible. I would not consider handling a difficult liquor permit matter without him."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
