Ellis Legal, Philadelphia PA

I was falsely accused and this team helped me win my case. Iam so thankful for the help. Hands down the best lawyer in Philly!

I had a significant white collar federal case and retained Ellis to help me. I was facing significant consequences and thought my life was over. What started out as a professional relationship, became personal between Ellis and I. That is something which I say about no one. I was able to have a no judgement discussion with him about my matter and he was extremely empathetic and understanding. Ellis helped me in more then just my criminal matter, he helped guide me through the system and answered any questions my family had along the way. He was very straightforward, something which I came to appreciate as I progressed deeper into the system. I was very honest with him about everything, from our initial visit to the very end. I knew he appreciated it and that helped out our professional working relationship even further. He provided top notch service and stayed up with me late at night and into the early morning hours the following day, while any other attorney would have gone to sleep. He helped me get the best possible outcome. I don’t know what I would have done without him. Thank you Ellis.

I hired Ellis through the recommendation of a friend to help my brother out. I was very uncertain because of the level of my brothers case being a big federal indictment and being on the news who I could trust, but after meeting Ellis at the initial consultation he put me immediately at ease. Though there have been superseding indictments and all kinds of curveballs the government has thrown I'm happy to say that my brother will be home in few days just before Christmas. Thank you so much Ellis for your professionalism and your thorough knowledge of the federal system for getting my brother so much leniency and a second chance at life!

Ellis, Everyday I thank God where I am today and it was all because of you guys. You and Greg knew I was innocent from the moment we talked on the phone. And soon as you jumped on the case you was ready for battle. I can’t thank you enough for even jumping on a case that was going on in Virginia many miles outside your territory and you still came out and stood there with Greg and I in that court room ready to fight. It’s been a year and a half and we still talk about anything. I will never forget forgot the day you guys came rolling in at a Colombian restaurant late evening to make sure we beat this case. The clock does not stop when it comes to these guys, they will fight until the end. Can’t get any better than that. Thanks Ellis for having my back in that court room!

My boyfriend was going through a rough case and we were already working with another lawyer and luckily this lawyer knew Ellis and ever since he jumped on the case everything went smoother. What impressed me was that he was always on top of things asked the questions he needed and he was really the boost for this case. It took alot of weight off my boyfriend’s worries and I totally recommend him for those who are going through a tough case because I can tell that Ellis is a fighter and he will fight no matter what the case is. He is very knowledgeable and an extreme professional, and his experiences helped us alottt and even though We live in Virginia he still traveled to make sure everything is good and we won! Great mind, Great representative, Great lawyer. Thank you for all you’ve done. To greg, and you!

BEST LAWYER hired to handle a multi-codefendant corrupt organization case with wiretaps. He fought the case and beat it. Such an amazing human. Very compassionate. Definitely recommend him as a lawyer. You won’t be disappointed. He will fight until the end.

Excellent criminal defense legal knowledge and fantastic in the courtroom. Would recommend to anyone.

He represented my mom, who’s An amazing Hispanic woman, He believed in her, saw her truth that no one saw!
He did an exceptionally great job with the case, it went to trial and Ellis did his thing in there and won the case! Not an easy trial either took days but he did his job professionally great! Money well spent! Thanks Ellis for helping my mother when she really needed for believing her when no one else did! You did such a great job that the DA wasn’t able to even get his lies heard!

Ellis is definitely one of the best attorneys in the city of Philadelphia. What makes him unique is his experience in both criminal and civil law, not only is he familiar with both but extremely knowledgeable in regards to each and knows exactly how to apply that knowledge when it matters. I was referred to Ellis by one of my other outstanding attorneys the legendary Guy Sciolla. I’m a business owner and had an emergency situation that I needed assistance with immediately. When I called Ellis he was at the hospital and his baby was just born. The man literally just had a baby and still took the time to ensure that I was protected and that I had adequate representation. He made sure to answer all of my questions and did everything he possibly could to help me to the fullest extent of his abilities. The way Ellis is able to apply his experience in all aspects of the law is truly an art form. Whether it be Criminal or civil, business related or white collar, Ellis is the man you want on your side to give you a real voice when you need one.

Hired Ellis to handle a federal situation for a family member - Myself AND my family members were very pleased with the results! Not one time did we ever have a problem with him returning our calls, answering all of our questions and when it was time to represent in court, you couldn't help but notice his professionalism, knowledge and the will to get the job done for his client! Thanks Ellis!

I can’t recommend Ellis enough. He’s very professional and responsive. Best of all he literally saved me from eating five figures out of frustration and a fast approaching deadline. He’s definitely worth every penny and has a customer for life!

One of the best experiences I ever had with an attorney. What I love about Ellis is that he is down to earth and easy to talk to.
He makes is so that you get clarity and understand with whatever he is explaining.

For the help I needed was in Real Estate. I was purchasing a house as an investment and that can’t be stressful. Ellis didn’t make me feel like we were buying a house but at the same time smooth and informative!

You won’t be disappointed!

Mr Pantellis Palavidas has been a life saver over the past two years. Not only did he personal give all his time and effort to make sure my freedom would be secured, he never missed a court date or was late, always was prepared! Whether 9am or 9pm Mr. Palavidas will provide you with the resolution to any criminal issue and honestly I would never have other council besides his firm! Superior job sir! Finally all charges DISMISSED!

Mr. Ellis is a great attorney I was looking at 10 to 20 on a aggravated assault mr. Ellis got me a not guilty verdict within 25 minutes of the jury deliberation great attorney

Excellent! He accomplished everything that he said he would. I was worried about the outcome of my case. Ellis handled everything! He is at the top of his game and I would definitely recommend him to anyone that has legal issues.

Mr. Ellis Palividas's price was more than fair. I contacted a few lawyers before speaking with Mr. Palividas and they attemped to rip me off. It was hard to find a lawyer with such honesty and charater like that of Mr. Palividas. He always called me back in a timely manner. He pulled no punches and was very honest with me in regards to what could happen in the court room. A true chess player he looked at all possible scenarios. He had the courage with my permission to press forward and yes he won me my life back. His passion wins cases. I would recommend Mr. Ellis Palividas to anyone in need of a great lawyer. My fiance and I love this guy!

Ellis is very professional, and knowledgeable insights and knowledge of both sides of the criminal justice laws. I truly appreciate his craft but mostly his dedication to his clients.
Thank you Ellis.

Charles, Ellis Legal handled my case thoroughly and always stayed in touch with me thru out the case, they were very professional and I highly recommend them.

It couldn’t have been anything else but God that brought Ellis Palividas into my life. For the last 4 years, I’ve been fighting a DUI case. This would’ve been my 3rd DUI which comes with a minimum of 1 year in a state penitentiary. I didn’t feel as though my initial lawyer had my best interest at heart. He didn’t seem sincere about my case and didn’t seem understanding enough about the negative effects that my life could have if I was found guilty. I met Mr. Palividas, and immediately he addressed my concerns about my case and I felt as though I could trust him and that he would fight for me. After speaking with him he brought several things to my attention that had not previously been mentioned by my first attorney. His passion and attention to detail make him a great attorney. I left his office with confidence knowing that he was the right man for the job. A few days before my trial I received a call from Mr. Palividas, from the sound of his voice, I knew it was good news. He informed me that the ADA on my case was willing to dismiss the DUI charge and pursue a possession charge, with the sentence of 1-year probation. I’m grateful that God brought this man into my life. I would recommend him to anyone that needs criminal representation because he will truly look out for you.
