Laurie Ann Parker

This lawyer will act so caring and then she will pounce! She did (her paralegal) paperwork, I did the footwork. I carried, so my case would go quicker, paperwork to Chattanooga, paid a notary and brought paperwork back to Parker. She charged me. Then on the court date, she was 45 minutes late to meet... me, we went to the court house, she charged me for meeting her when we only said hello and left for the court house. At the beginning of the whole case she said she would only charge me a certain amount, which I immediately paid in full. She said if there was nothing substantial happens, she would not charge anymore. Well she decided she needed more. I would try to talk with her or her assistant and they were not available. Then after almost 7 years she takes me to court because I wouldn't pay her for all of the work I did. I had a wedding I had to attend in FL on the court date, she would not talk to me nor would her lawyer. Of course I lost when I could not show up. Not sure how she sleeps at night, but people like this do not care. Stay away!!!!

Whatever you do, do not use Laurie Parker to do a Trust. If you do, this is what you can expect. You will pay a large retainer fee before anything is ever initiated (mine was $3000). Then you will be in a several month process with you attempting repeatedly to get Laurie to return your calls & ema...ils. You will finally have to contact her staff to ever get her to follow up with you. There will be so much time elapsed between discussions that Laurie can't even remember what you discussed previously. She will claim that she is too busy and overwhelmed, she will lie & tell you that she sent you emails when she doesn't & that they are having server problems is why she didn't respond to your emails. By the time we got done we had so little confidence in the final product that we just went to a new attorney and basically got absolutely nothing but a great deal of frustration and disappointment from the experience with Laurie … $3000 completely down the drain! Do yourself a favor & find someone competent who will do a Trust in a couple weeks & at a third of the cost of Laurie. She way over complicates the process and honestly does not know what she is doing. If you could give a -0- Star review, that is what she would get from my wife & I.
