Lawyer with a heart.

Ms Rose Mary Parham literally saved my life, I would have been "rail roaded" by the system if it was not for her. The state charged me with some heinous crimes a couple of years ago. She worked tirelessly for my rights and freedom. She is highly knowledgeable, resourceful and thorough, I think this ...comes to her because of the high caliber cases she deals with. I was lucky to have her on my side. She was always responsive and easily accessible. Beyond all she really cares, this makes a difference when you get caught up in emotional testing times.

Caring, Intelligent, and Highly Recommended

Two and a half years ago, our son was arrested for a crime he did not commit. He was not granted a bond. Six months later, a jury found him not guilty, after thirty minutes of deliberation. Needless to say, our family lived through a nightmare. Luckily, we retained the services of Rose Mary ...Parham. We are forever indebted to her. This working mother of four is also extremely intelligent, caring, and skilled in her field. She worked tenaciously on our son's case, and her performance in the courtroom was beyond compare. This was a very emotional time for me and my husband. We found Rose Mary to be both patient and respectful with us, in spite of our great ignorance of the judicial system. When we had any questions or concerns, she would promptly return our calls or emails. She was always easily accessible during this six month period. Over the last two years since the trial, Rose Mary has called us periodically to check on our son. That means alot. We highly recommend Rose Mary Parham. Thank you Rose Mary!
