This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

From Divorce to Estate Planning — Truly Outstanding Support

I came to Parks Zeigler, PLLC during a challenging and unexpected time. My spouse and I had initially agreed to handle our divorce amicably, but that changed suddenly when they hired an aggressive attorney who pushed for full control of the situation. I was at risk of losing a fair outcome — emotiona...lly, financially, and as a parent. Kellam Parks stepped in and helped me navigate everything with clarity and calm. What I appreciated most was that we didn’t combat aggression with more aggression. Instead, Kellam relied on his deep knowledge of family law to guide us toward a fair, balanced agreement that prioritized what mattered most: the well-being of our children. Thanks to him, we were able to establish a joint custody arrangement that felt truly just and sustainable. Later, when my parents needed help with estate planning, I recommended they contact Parks Zeigler after their own frustrating experiences with other providers who were unresponsive or unclear. Kellam and his team immediately impressed us. They offered fast, accurate, and professional assistance, took the time to explain every detail, addressed all of our concerns, and guided my parents through the process in a way that made them feel truly comfortable and confident. The outcomes from both situations were five-star, and the services were also very cost-effective compared to other options we explored. With my parents, we also now have the peace of mind that comes from knowing we have a continuing relationship we can count on as needs and circumstances change. I can’t recommend Kellam Parks and the Parks Zeigler team highly enough — they deliver results with professionalism, compassion, and integrity.

Extremely kind and intelligent counsel

It is my great pleasure to highly recommend Kellam T. Parks as an attorney at law. Attorney Parks is an intelligent attorney who has great knowledge of the law. He is trustworthy, caring and a fine human being, as well. In a time when mediocrity is the norm, it is rare to find a gentleman with the hi...gh quality characteristics that Attorney Parks possesses.

Very Pleased

Over the course of the last 14 years I have used four different attorneys for the various issues that have arisen regarding custody of my child. Throughout my cases I was left wondering what my counsel was really doing. My attorneys were hard to get in touch with and I never really heard from them ...until a couple of days before the case went to court. I felt completely in the dark. With Kellam, things were different from the start. He was very honest with his assessment of our case. Time was of the essence in my case and he hit the ground running. I had access to all the documents he had in my file through his internet-based case management system. I got the updates for our case as soon as he got them and I knew every step of the way how things were going. If I needed to ask a question, I got a quick response to my e-mails. With his diligence things happened quickly for us and we are in a good place right now. This was a very sensitive time for my family and I truly felt through it all I had someone in my corner.

Great help with employment issues

Kellam was extremely knowledgeable about our employment case and followed through with each and every issue involved. He kept us informed throughout and responded to all our requests immediately. If with have another employment or any other legal need, we will be sure to use Kellam.
