Strong personal service

I liked dealing with the Parnell team for my case. They always got back to me fast and answered my questions, even stupid ones. I got a good result, and would recommend them to anybody who's sick of being ignored by attorneys, which happened once before with another firm. I know who to go to next tim...e, although I hope there's not a next time.

We were very thankful for the help and hard work of Thomas Parnell and his staff. They are a smart group of people who are great at what they do. At all times we felt cared about, and our questions were always answered quickly and completely. The office returned our calls promptly and scheduled our ...appointments to fit our needs, which is a big deal for us since we both work full time jobs. We had a great experience and if we ever need a lawyer again, we will call Gibbs and Parnell.

Great attorney!

Tom Parnell is a smart, thorough, incredibly professional attorney and I have been very satisfied with his firm. I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough; My questions were always answered honestly and completely, the staff is professional and attentive, and I am more than happy with the out...come of my case.

Knowledgeable, Personable and Experienced - I Highly Recommend........

I was involved in a car accident. Mr. Parnell personally met with me to explain answers to questions that I had regarding my case. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly as well. It is difficult to find an attorney in Tampa that is experienced and willing to spend time with their clients to ...make them feel comfortable and make sure their questions are answered. My calls are always returned in a timely manner! I highly recommend Mr. Parnell!

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.
