Posted by Mr. Turner | August 14, 2014

Saved the day, perhaps my career !!!

Being arrested for the 2nd time after 25 years of being on the right side of the law, I admit I had no clue of what to do. But a good friend of mine recommended me to call Parkinson, Tarpey & Lloyd. It was the best call I ever could have made. Michael Parkinson was professional and clarified my optio...ns. His presence and demeanor in the courtroom was a perfect blend of knowledge and tactful communication. . . . I would definitely recommend this law firm to anyone has any type of scrape with law.

"I have known Michael Parkinson since 2002 when we were both prosecutors in the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office. He was my mentor in the office and I learned many of my trial skills from him. I have now had the opportunity to see him defend individuals charged with a variety of criminal offenses. Mr. Parkinson is an intelligent and personable individual who is respected by clients, judges, prosecutors and all others in the Philadelphia criminal justice system. He is a zealous advocate for his clients. I fully endorse Mr. Parkinson."
