Hello!  My name is Tara R. Parker.  I entered the legal profession because I wanted to be in a position where my job would allow me to help people.  And, what better place to help people than in the legal arena?  A courtroom can be a particularly intimidating setting for the average citizen and, further, the occasion a person has to stand before a judge often is the result of a highly stressful event such as a divorce, criminal charge, breach of contract, etc.  On top of that, the outcome of a person’s interaction with the court system can have a substantial impact on the future of that individual as well as those close to him or her.  Legal representation can play a significant role in reducing stress, ensuring that proper procedures are followed, and allowing a client’s voice to be heard and his or her rights zealously fought for!

It wasn't a "chance", it was a gut feeling . . .
And, I always follow my gut! I found Ms. Parker through Avvo coincidentally, and my gut told me to hire her. I, of course, shopped around, and something kept telling me to get ahold of Ms. Parker. She returned my phone call, we spoke of my need for an attorney, and she immediately scheduled a consultation. She was professional, matter of fact, and kept in communication the whole length of court proceedings. Ms. Parker also produced a phenomenal brief in support of the motion she filed on my behalf. This is no-doubt the reason for the positive outcome. Ms. Parker achieved the results I was looking for, and without hesitation, I would recommend her to anybody. I could not be any happier.

Divorce and Separation including minor children
I was in a rough spot once my divorce started. I honestly didn't know where to turn to. I found Tara Parker online and requested a meeting. I briefed her on how everything started out for me. My Ex-Wife ran off with my children, without me knowing, accused me of things that I would never do, and wouldn't let me know where my children were, and if they were ok. My daughter is autistic and was taken out of Therapy for a lengthy time, my son was taken out of school and wasn't enrolled into school until 4 weeks later. Tara Parker and Amy Koshy helped me out so much. I was on the losing end, paying an exuberant amount of child and spousal support, the courts willingly gave her the kids, and it seemed like I was a total loss. Tara Parker and Amy Koshy assured me to hold my head up high, be strong, and the courts will decide the right thing in the end. A lot of new information was brought into light, I was able to start seeing my kids, and In the end, due to the grueling 1 year battle of this divorce, I got my children back, permanently. The case was flipped and I definitely cried at the news when I was told by Amy. God Bless these two, and for all they have done. They definitely give Fathers a fighting chance to see and have their children again! Thank You.

Great attorney
Tara Parker is an amazing attorney. She guided me through a very challenging case for me. She helped me to negotiate a distressful divorce. After meeting with Tara a few times and going over my case I felt ready I would get a fair outcome. And she did exactly that!! Even his attorney made the comment that I had a great attorney. She also has an amazing assistant-Amy! My family and I are so thankful for both of them. They are very knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Ms.
I highly recommend Tara Parker for representation if you are going thru a divorce. She is excellent at sorting through complicated cases. Her no-nonsense, no-drama-engaging style of representation served our family well. She was the second lawyer that was hired, and many people tried to instill fear about switching over from the first lawyer. IT WAS THE BEST MOVE THAT WE COULD HAVE EVER MADE. Ms. Parker picked up this case and very quickly got the best outcome possible. She is beyond fair, in her pricing. I thank God for instilling Tara Parker's passion to help people navigate thru the justice system. She is in the profession for the right reasons.

Best Attorney Around
Attorney Parker handled a criminal law matter for me. I was charged with 6 felonies and the attorney I had before her tried to get me to take several pleas even though I told him I didn't want too take any pleas. He was reluctant to file any motions on my behalf and the 2 times I was able to set up an appointment with him he only wanted to talk about me taking a deal. I found Attorney Parker online and after reading her reviews I decided to give her a call. She met with me and after our meeting she went and got the police report. She found several possible issues with police report and the stop. I retained her for a very reasonable amount. We had the preliminary exam and Attorney Parker did an amazing job but it was still bound over to Circuit Court. Once it got to Circuit court Attorney Parker filed several motions and based on the preliminary hearing (the same one my previous Attorney was trying to get me to waive) the case was thrown out!!!!! If I could give her a 1000-star rating I would!!!!

Best lawyer ever!
Tara Parker is an extraordinary lawyer! My 22 year old son was charged with 4 felonies and was facing prison time. In the end, due to Ms. Parker's work, he had the felonies dropped down to 1 misdemeanor, no jail time, 1 year probation and, if he remains out of trouble for that year, the misdemeanor will be made non-public. The results were even better than we had hoped, she is phenomenal!

Highly Recommended...Strong and Caring
I highly recommend that Attorney Tara Parker is the best Attorney! Attorney Parker was caring and very thorough in preparing a timeline for me regarding a Harassment complaint I filed against my employer. She explained the process to me and was knowledgeable in advising me on how to move forward with my complaint. The result was in my favor, after I followed Attorney Parker's wise counsel. Thanks Attorney Parker !!!

Thorough, Strong, Tenacious, Efficient
Ms. Parker was on top of everything from the start! We were mistreated by a used car salesman in a city far from our home. Ms. Parker took care of everything and even got an apology for us! We were very hurt and felt very disrespected by the treatment we received AFTER we paid for a vehicle that was sold to is under false pretenses...she used all of our communications with the dealership to point out their careless behavior and we walked away with much more than we asked. She is caring and pays close attention to the small details that we would not have known to look into. We appreciate her hard work!

Excellent and Efficient
I hired Attorney Parker to assist me with a custody issue that involved CPS, the case ended up growing into a larger issue and turned into three cases. Attorney Parker was able to assist me with all my cases and kept in contact with me to keep me up to date on the status of every issue. Attorney Parker was understanding, efficient, helpful, and assisted me in a victory with all my cases. She is a true advocate for her clients. I will definitely hire her in the future for any legal matters.

Ms. Parker is an excellent attorney for my family litigation against the mother
Ms. Parker was an excellent attorney for my latest case involving the mother of my child. The mother continues to make it as difficult and as expensive for me to have parenting time with my son. Ms. Parker understood my situation after discussing the history. She put in the extra time to answer my questions whether on the phone or via. email. Since I am from out of state and can't get face to face time often, we were able to sit down the night before the court date to go over the situation and any details that cannot be explained in emails or texts. During the hearing, she was very direct and made it quite uncomfortable for the other party, including her lawyer. In the end, we ended up winning the prominent motion. She is perfect for fathers that cannot deal with a hostile mother. I would hope I would not need to hire her again, but given past history, I will probably be needing her services again sometime in the future.

Awesome Attorney
I hired Atty Parker to represent me with my divorce as well as with a misdemeanor criminal charge. She was very knowledgeable with the handling of both matters. She was always willing to answer any questions that I had as clearly and concisely. She appeared at all of my court proceedings on time, very professional, and always ready to fight on my behalf. I would definitely recommend her or hire her again if needed.

Strongly Recommended!!!
I am glad I hired Tara Parker as my attorney. She was there for me all the way thru the whole case, stayed in contacted with me without even having to call her. I had a multiple felony case and looking at prison time, she kept me from going to prison and even got me time served for the county jail time. I would recommend her to anyone she is professional, on time and will fight all the way to the end. Fees is very reasonable and flexible. Thanks for the great work and making a way to keep me with my children.

Employment Law Case
I was very happy with the support and professionalism I received from Tara Parker. In September I had contacted and acquire her services in order to piece together a detailed timeline and report of discrimination and workplace harassment that I had been receiving. She did an amazing job and I actually had my issues finally taking seriously. She communicated with me very quickly and even supported me during a meeting with HR. I highly recommend her services and I feel I was treated as a friend instead of just a client! She will be a star in her field.
