Paul Eads received his Bachelor of Arts degree, Summa Cum Laude, in Psychology from UCLA and his juris doctrine from Southwestern Law School in 2005. While attending UCLA, Paul did extensive research in the "divorce process" and accompanying coping methods used by the vast majority of Americans. Paul chose Psychology for his undergraduate degree so that he might better understand and assist those experiencing the stressors associated with divorce. He received numerous awards while attending UCLA, including membership in Psi Chi, the psychology honor society and the National Golden Key Honor Society.
After his admittance to Southwestern Law School, Paul emphasized Family Law in his studies and was an active member in the school's Family Law society. During his second year of school, Paul was invited to intern with the Honorable Roy L. Paul, a judge in the high volume Family Law courts in downtown Los Angeles. During his internship, Paul was privileged to witness hundreds of Family Law proceedings, including many celebrity divorces. As an assistant to the bench, he did extensive research on cutting edge issues in Family Law and critiqued several custody evaluations and trial briefs, providing a full report to the court. Paul received extensive guidance from Judge Paul and was invited back for a second internship the following year. Paul has volunteered his services for the Los Angeles S.T.A.R.S. program, a program that provides legal services and guidance to limited income families that cannot otherwise afford legal representation. Paul also volunteered at the Harriet Buhai Center for Family Law for a year. While there, he assisted in writing the manual "Assisting the Limited Income Families in Family Law Matters", an annual publication to help new attorneys in the practice of Family Law.

When you want to bring in the big guns you can’t use cheap ammo
This is my second time using Mr Eads his strategy is impeccable and his team always does their best to build the necessary recon to get the job done .It always feels good to go into court with confidence of being represented by a reputable attorney at law. I use Eads when I have the most critical parts of my case going on twice he has proven very successful.He is a bit pricier then some but as he told me you want to show up to the car show with a run down beat up vehicle or you want to roll up with a Lamborghini it’s up to you ?I recommend for anyone who is looking for a fair and honest attorney to hire Paul Eads for the corner you won’t be disappointed.

The Best!
Paul Eads is the best! I think what sets him apart from the rest is that he listens to you. Really listens. Of course, he is very knowledgeable and comes prepared to court. He knows the law and was always one step ahead. I was always very impressed at the way he handled himself when representing me. He made a very difficult time in my life manageable by being very reassuring. I would recommend him to any one of my friends or family members. Thank you, Paul!

Amazing Attorney
Mr. Eads has been amazing as well as his staff! I made a huge mistake of representing myself the first time my son's father and I went to court. I shortly after hired Mr. Eads and he truly knows his s**t. I have been beyond satisfied with his services. I felt safe and no longer bullied having him represent me. I don't wish the stress of court on anyone but if you are going through it Mr. Eads is the attorney to hire!!

Paul and his team are Awesome!
Attorney Paul Eads and his team are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and more importantly; compassionate and understanding to what would normally be a difficult experience to separation. It isn't easy during these difficult times but having a team who are "there for you" really helps.
Paul Eads and team are and have remained in contact and communicate very well.
I would recommend Attorney Paul Eads (and team) to anyone in need of help when making the arduous decision to file for separation.

They said it couldn't be done!
A year and a half ago I had to find a new laywer. My first attorney had to retire due to health issues. At this point I had been at it for over 7 years fighting the ex over the house, expenses due me and alimony. I spoke to 3 attorneys and was told by all that I was wasting my time. This was after going through 3 judges during the divorce. The ex kept delaying the proceedings (I think her and her attorneys plan was for me to drop dead). Then I talked to Paul and he asked me, "Do you want to keep being nice or do the scorched earth procedure? Well in a year and a half we got the house settled, got the expenses and LIFETIME ALIMONY for me! Paul got it done! The ex and her "Beverly Hills" attorney lost on all issues! I can't thank Paul and his terrific staff enough!

Best in Town
If you're stuck between a wall and hard place, look no further. Paul's team in the office have been so friendly and courteous. They get back to you within 24 hours and same day if you call during working hours. Rest assured that Paul has years of experience and nothing is too small for him to help you with. I spent countless trips to the courthouse, told to seek advice with the self help center, but was met with rude misinformation. Paul was kind enough to provide me with the instructions on how to complete my divorce and the reassurance I received is priceless. Don't go to anyone else for your legal troubles, trust Paul!

Paul handled my case with care and educated me on the entire process. Divorce is never easy, but I felt secure with his years of experience and education. You can trust his knowledge and passion for Family Law. I feel confident that my case has been handled well. And I know that had I not hired Paul as my attorney, I would have been taken advantage of due to my lack of knowledge about divorce. He was patient and answered every question I had during this entire ordeal. Peace of mind is worth every penny. Thank you, Paul and your team!

focused, prepared and listens
My first meeting with Paul Eads I didn’t know what to expect. I was anxious about my case but he listened, answered my questions and I felt heard. Within minutes he was on the phone to opposing counsel and reviewing case files. I was immediately impressed with his confidence and take-charge attitude. I decided right there and then to retain his services. He is very knowledgeable, returns my panic-stricken calls and messages, each time putting my mind at ease. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Paul Eads; he turned my nightmare of a divorce into an uncomplicated negotiation.
