The absolute worse Lawyer ever

I would never recommend this lawyer to anybody, if your case is dealing with joint child custody. I went from co-parenting my two kids in-state to having them live across the country with their mom. She does not have kids so she will never understand how you feel. When the judge made his decision ...that the kids could relocate cross-country, she made it seem like "Well look on the bright side you get them once a month and most summer!". The truth is there is no bright side. I got the bad end of the stick and she didn't care. She is all about her paycheck. Please steer clear of this lawyer. I regret ever contacting her.

Excellent Attorney

Mrs. Parham keep me informed on every step of my divorce and every detail of the case. She gave me good advice, I trusted her judgement and I have the bests results in a shorter time that I was expected.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Ms. Parham did a wonderful job with my case. She was very aggressive towards my opponent/ex-wife's claims and or arguments. My ex-wife attempted to have me removed from my employment by making false allegations. Ms. Parham immediately put a stop to that nonsense! Ms. Parham concluded my case with a v...ery successful outcome, considering my case's circumstances. I was very pleased with Ms. Parham's dedication and hard work, of which she invested into my case. Ms. Parham always kept me informed of any turns or complications that may have arisen in my case. I highly recommend the Parham Law Firm to anyone who's looking for an attorney that will be aggressive toward your case and have your best interest in mind at ALL times.

Change of Custody

I was in need of an attorney, Shalamar was recommended by a friend in which she represented. I had a court order already in place for my visitations which was not being followed by the other party. I had many police reports but was told that I had to go back to court. I meet with Shal...amar and before our meeting was over, I felt that I found the attorney that would be a great fit for my case. Shalamar kept me informed throughout the process. I followed the advice that Shalamar gave me and when we went to the final court date. The judge granted a change of custody to me. There was one police officer that said to me that the judge would not give me (the father) custody. I'm so happy that I never gave up and Shalamar was there to help me.

Divorce Proceeding

Attorney Parham is a very highly knowledgeable Attorney. She worked very hard in presenting my evidences to the Judge. Attorney Parham took the time listen to me, to look over my documents, and to listen to a short DVD recording. I would recommend Attorney Parham to anyone in speaking and anyone who ...is reviewing this profile of her. I wish there were more honest, dedicated, dependable, and hard working as Attorney Parham. She worked for me and I really did appreciate everything. Attorney Parham sent me information on a focus group like DivorceCare, which help me to spiritually understand when a husband and a wife have to part their separate ways. I thank Attorney Parham so very much for sending me to this 9 weeks course. It was very helpful, indeed.

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.
