Bullied by an Insurance Company

Mr. Parson is an attorney that is experienced, knowledgable, and focused on helping others. Although I did not retain Mr. Parsons, he was extremely helpful in providing pivotal advice and the first steps in dealing with a dispute with my health insurance company. Here is an attorney that is here ...to help, not just make a dollar.

Rating:  9.7 (Superb)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2017.

Reprimanded issued in NV, 2017

updated on 10/13/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
