Eckell Sparks Attorneys at Law

"I've had nothing but a positive experience with this law firm. The receptionist is very welcoming, super friendly & very professional . I highly recommend this law firm."

"Went to do a simple deed transfer title free and clear couldn’t get any simpler. Their receptionist service was a joke could not answer a single question. Something that should take two weeks is taking a month and a half wouldn’t use them again if they had a gun to my head best of wishes to anybody else who thinks of using them"

"I was sued by a client of Eckell Sparks and I won the case in two matters self-represented. This was my first time in actual court, before a judge. I was stunned and appalled at the sheer ineptitude of the opposing party's counsel (Ms. Vasiliki Gouliaberis of Eckell Sparks). Counsel did not do her due diligence with her client. This was apparent upon reading the justifications for the suit--not only was none of it based in actual facts, but what they argued was too easily proven false with readily available and admissible evidence. Almost none came down to credibility or best interests of child. The opposing party filed an emergency petition--which, if an actual emergency, is ruled on within hours or a day or two, ex parte (w/o the sued party--me--present or ordered to appear). The judge scheduled the hearing 8 or 9 days out from date of filing and then granted me a 7 day continuance. I took the time to respond to the petition and did so with only facts backed up by inarguable evidence (including their own exhibits). It's hearing day one. Judge shares thoughts on the issues raised in their petition (which is basically that my filing was factual, theirs was not, and the few arguments of theirs I didn't prove false, did not merit an emergency). Judge tells Ms. Gouliaberis to argue issues that merit an emergency. Ms. Gouliaberis proceeds to argue the issues the Judge said *not* to argue. Ms. Gouliaberis took hours (judge said a hearing like this shouldn't take nearly so long and kept telling counsel to stop wasting time) to argue the things the judge said not to. Judge was fuming. I never witnessed such an extreme level of thick-headedness married to ineptitude in my life. And I was stunned to see it coming from an attorney. Lowly peasant I am, and still I know better. Due to running out of time before the Judge's next hearing, the judge asked me about the few oddball accusations they made (not in the petition) instead of having me fully testify. Not only was I credible, the witness they subpoenaed (my father), was more credible *and* there were short, reasonable explanations for their allegations. I left the hearing grateful I filed the response I did because there was no time to fully present my case. We also had no time to litigate a motion I made as part of my response. So another hearing was scheduled for 2 weeks later and with a 2 hr time limit. In the interim, the judge ruled on the emergency petition--denied. Upon arrival for hearing day two, the attorney and her client pulled me aside to attempt a settle. I declined. Up to this point, Ms. Gouliaberis' scare tactics didn't work on me and they sure as heck weren't going to start working now. Once again, I was treated to Ms. Gouliaberis' ineptitude. This time, it *didn't* feel like an episode of Judge Judy except with opposing counsel infuriating the judge non-stop. At the last minute, Ms. Gouliaberis presented a prior case that ruled in her and her client's favor and claimed the case was "on point" to our case (which means the case she presented is the exact same, or near enough, as ours). Judge announced ruling will take over a week since more case law will be researched and they needed to read the one Ms. Gouliaberis presented. And yet, less than 48 business hours (weekend doesn't count) after the hearing, the judge granted my motion. The order said, among other reasons, the case Ms. Gouliaberis presented was entirely distinguishable from our case (aka not "on point"). All I did was stick to facts, use logic, present evidence, and be truthful. I refrained from allowing emotions to rule my argument. I kept my facts straight and errors in the details were non-existent. Self-represented, I won my case against a "rising super lawyer". If you're vindictive, lack regard for best interests of child, don't play for long-term wins, want aggressive scare tactics used on who you're suing, and said person is not only susceptible but also extraordinarily dumb, burn your cash at Eckell Sparks."
