Excellent in every way!!

I am very thankful I came across Mr. Parker. I found his profile on here on Avvo (one of the highest rated attorneys and answers questions other attorneys avoid) and gave him a ring. This guy is not the normal type of lawyer you would come to expect. He answered his phone at an odd hour (totally unex...pected)and I spoke to him for an extensive period of time about my legal issues/potential case. Eventually this led to a consultation in person at his office. My wife and I arrived at his office where he was very professional, respectful and just a pleasure to interact with about our case. He spent an unparalleled amount of time going over our options, but was very patient in the process. We had a lot of questions and concerns related to our specific situation. Wade was able to answer all of our questions with definitive answers we could understand. I normally never write reviews, however this attorney is one that I would not hesitate to trust with any issue. He is a highly knowledgeable and skilled attorney. My wife and I are very thankful we had the privilege of meeting him as he is definitely a different kind of attorney we have never seen. He seemed focused, more than anything on helping us. He runs his practice with the goal and esteem of helping people. Words cannot express how thankful we are for Wade's help and assistance in our case. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone, I have dealt with attorneys in my lifetime (31 years old) and never have met anyone quite like him. Trust this attorney.
