About Astrid

I graduated from Cornell University Law School in 1977 and served as Assistant University Counsel for Cornell University from 1977 to 1980. Thereafter, I served as General Counsel for the University of Alaska Statewide System of Higher Education from 1980 to 1985. After moving to Florida in 1985, I went to work for a large law firm in Orlando, focusing on general corporate practice and property law (1986 - 1988). After a one year stint as General Counsel for Park Equus, Inc. (which developed the Arabian Nights Dinner Attraction in Kissimmee, Florida), I moved to Volusia County in 1989 where I served as City Attorney for the City of DeLand until I started my own practice in 1993. Today, I combine this experience to offer clients skilled and knowledgeable legal representation in wills, trusts and estate planning, probate and guardianship, elder law, real property transactions, land use and environmental law, business and commercial law, civil litigation and mediation. I am a Florida Supreme Court Certified Circuit Civil and Appellate Mediator and have been a member of Rotary International since 1991.

Our family has used the services of Astrid deParry for several years. She has a remarkable ability to take a complicated legal document and translate it into an understandable, concise briefing. We have had her review a number of documents and contracts and have been able to make informed decisions based on her information. When you are faced with a document which inspires nothing but confusion, it can bring a sense of dread and powerlessness. How are you to make a wise decision when you don't understand the true meaning of what is in front of you? All legal documents are open to interpretation, and it is vitally important to have on your side someone who speaks the language and can give you the secret insider information.

Astrid is readily available to answer questions. She is very patient during consultations and devotes as much time as one needs. Work is done quickly. She presents all options available. In addition to estate planning, she does my corporate work. Her office staff is responsive and professional. Because she is a Rotarian, one can be assured that she is ethical. Phone calls are returned promptly.
