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.

Posted by JAY | November 18, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!!!! LITIGATION, LOAN MOD, FORCLOSURE.

I am a business owner in the medical field, and have used Mr. Parker's services in many different facets. Including, civil litigation, foreclosure defense, and loan modifications for over 9 years. Mr. Parker and staff have always been very diligent, and work aggressively in resolving my issues. ...I have personally been through meditations, depositions, and even to trial with Mr. Parker, and he represented me with favorable outcomes. He will go above and beyond the norm, and make sure you are well taken care of. I deal with attorneys all the time, due to my nature of work, but I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, choose Mr. Parker for all my personal needs. If you are looking for an attorney who is HONEST, RELIABLE, FAIR, and who will vigorously fight for you, then choose Mr. Parker.

Excellent attorney

I hired Mr Parker to represent me and my business regarding a legal matter with a former employee. He has an excellent working knowledge of both employment and contract law which helped resolve the case favorably and pragmatically.

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.”
