Ever so patient

Mr. Parker took on my case & took away all of the stress of having to deal with my lender who did many of us in our community wrong. He never lost his temperament & was alway kind, understanding & willing to listen. I can only imagine the stress he went through by taking all of mine away. I will f...orever be grateful to him & his wonderful staff who always kept me informed at every step. Thank you Clay...for everything & not giving up!

Highly Recommended

Mr. Parker recovered funds from a client that failed to pay his bill. Mr. Parker fought for our money as if he was fighting for his own. I cannot find correct words to show my gratitude.

Best Litigation Lawyer

I hired Mr. Parker and his law firm for a judgement against me from Citibank and their lawyers from South Florida. Mr. Parker was the only Lawyer that was willing to listen to me without suggesting a bankruptcy. He was able to litigate, negotiate and settled for less than 15% of the original debt. Hi...s firm was always attentive, personal, and very responsive every step of the way. Very strong communication skills. He was honest, clear, professional, and was always on point with the case on both ends. I strongly recommend him and his firm. Thank you Mr. Parker!

Excellent service from an experienced lawyer

I hired Mr Parker last year to represent me in connection with a foreclosure matter. He has an excellent knowledge of law in this area and was able to expertly guide me, by outlining the options and explaining likely outcomes, enabling appropriate responses. Mr Parker is professional and diligent in... his approach and I would certainly have no hesitation in using his services again and would recommend him without reservation.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2010.

Admonishment issued in FL, 2010

updated on 11/24/2015

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Henry’s comment:

“I was admonished for a "minor infraction" for a mail out sent by someone I hired which was mailed out without my prior consent or approval. The mailing failed to print the term "Legal Advertisement" in red and gave a different address on the return address envelope. I fired the advertiser and never sent out another mailer again.”
