Parvin Law Review

Kind gentleman. He took the time to explain all of the legal jargon in simplistic terms. Quick response and always there when I needed him. Highly recommend!

Attorney

Having never needed an attorney before we didn’t know where to turn. We did ask a few friends for recommendations, but in the end we decided to do a google search. We did a search for several days with basically the same names appearing each time and after reading about each attorney firm, Emmert &... Parvin stood out above the rest. For some reason we knew they would be a good fit for the situation. This has been a most trying time, going through the death of a parent, one who had no will and who also had an outstanding loan (taken out on the home that had been paid off years before); this loan was a surprise to the family. The loan had never been paid back and we had no idea of what to do because the mortgage company wanted their money immediately. Mr. Parvin is a no-nonsense kind of man when it comes to the law. We soon realized that helping others during a difficult time is his forte; it is evident his clients are a top priority. He has directed us down a path, a road that has been very clear and concise from the beginning. He, along with his staff, have remained in communication with us. He has taken us through the process of probate court. He is currently working with us to remain on a timeline in order to repay the loan. The sleepless nights have become fewer and fewer. We know we met an attorney that is very professional and at the same time very personable. What a great combination!

Corporate Entity Formation

Chris recently assisted me with the formation of my startup business. In our first consultation he clearly outlined the overall process, the timeline involved, and the expected deliverables. Throughout the process he listened closely to my questions and concerns, and based on our specific needs, pr...ovided sound advice on various aspects of corporate entities and provided recommendations on how to address each concern. Chris assisted with some very specific language in our operating agreement, and customized our buy/sell agreement to best fit our investor needs, so I never felt that I was accepting a cookie cutter business entity. Whether over the phone or via email, Chris and his legal assistant were responsive, communicative, and courteous. Overall, I was relieved to find a friendly and trustworthy attorney to help us through this process, and I look forward to working with Chris the next time I need legal advise or assistance.

Honest Advice

My friend was looking to set up a business that I was helping him with. We found Mr. Parvin on tapyellow.com and are glad we did. He gave us straightforward information to let us make an educated decision about our company.

Mr. Probate

I came to Chris with a complicated probate matter a year ago. He was knowledgable, responsive and very good to deal with. He resolved our case quickly and our family was grateful.

  • 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.
