Posted by anonymous | August 14, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

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 con...sultation. 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.

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 Park...er 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.
