Wonderful Experience

Attorney Parker did an excellent job helping my grandparents when my grandfather went to the nursing home with Alzheimer's. We didn't know what to do or where to turn. We met with Attorney Parker and he walked us through the process and provided recommendations to us. We left the office knowing wha...t he could do, how he could help protect my grandmother who was still at home and have a sense of peace of mind. Every detail was handled with professionalism and courtesy. It was a wonderful experience for our whole family. My grandfather was able to get the help he needed and my grandmother's finances and family home have been protected.

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.
