Corey is the Batman of Appeals Lawyers
I have nothing but the highest praise, admiration and respect for Corey. He will level with you, he is kind, he is patient, and he is extremely knowledgeable. Corey will give you his time, his attention and his expertise. He's flexible and will work with you. He's the real deal. And this was just a consultation. We ended up not working together because it made more sense to not go forward, but even in that Corey was honest and open to communicating. And that's before you make it 'official'. As your attorney, I have no doubt that Corey will give you the very best representation in your appeal. He is just that good.

Corey Parker is an excellent Appeals Lawyer. From the beginning, Corey was extremely helpful and kept me informed throughout the Appeal process. Because of his extensive knowledge of the law, professionalism and legal experience he won a difficult Appeal and allowed me to continue with my legal case. Thank you, Mr. Parker.

The best appeal attorney
Corey Parker worked extensively & diligently on my mother's appeal case with excellent outcome. He gave us so much confidence, exceeding our expectations. My mother won her case. Corey is very experienced, honest, straight forward & knowledgeable attorney. My mother was a victim of her ex lawyer's legal malpractice & gross negligence, who ruined the case. Corey extended all his efforts, worked very hardly, he had put a great deal of time in reviving that complicated case that was impossible to win. Corey analyzed full details of the case, engrossed himself into the facts and the truth. Corey restored my mother's trust & faith in attorneys. He went above & beyond his duties to my mother & vigorously pursued justice for my mother. Corey Parker is one of a kind, his main goal & high priority is his pursuit for justice for all his clients. He will go to the very end & to any extent to make sure Justice prevails. During an appeal process & at all stages Corey always worked hardly & diligently, always had my mother's best interest at the forefront of his actions. Corey ensured that the opposing lawyer had to sit & listen through the process as he professionally dismantled each part of the case and presented very well to the point that all judges ruled in my mother's case. Our family can see Corey Parker being an appeals court Judge in future. He is credible, reputable, delightful & highly experienced attorney. He is a genuinely wonderful person. I would highly recommend Corey Parker to everyone without hesitation. He is the best choice for all legal matters you may be facing.

ONE AMAZING LAWYER!!!
Where do I start... I have nothing but positive things to say about him and his legal tenacity. He has handled my appeal perfectly. If you are in need of someone who is willing to fight for you and what is right he is your guy. Very attentive to you and your case, I was never left in the dark or did he ever sugarcoat anything. Hands down the BEST lawyer I have ever dealt with.

BEST Appeals Attorney...bar none!!!
Corey is by far the BEST Appeals Attorney out there...no question about it. Corey is the reason why I won my appeal. I knew that my conviction was completely unjust and with prejudice, but i needed to take the extra time and effort to research the best Appeals Attorney to represent me and prove my case. Unfortunately, I did not take that same approach when choosing my first "Attorney" so I learned the hard way. Moral of the story, it's very important to take your time and do your due diligence to find the RIGHT attorney. I definitely did not want to make the same mistake twice...Corey went above and beyond for me and NEVER made me feel as though I was just one of a dozen of his clients. Corey operates at a very high level, he is very intelligent and extremely detailed, which are the qualities you need when picking the RIGHT Appeals Attorney. Corey treated me with nothing less than first class service. As someone who prides themselves on providing his high-end clientele with a high level of service, I certainly appreciate Corey and all his efforts, a true winner!!!

There was no price on my freedom...
I write that as my review title for I could never actually put a price tag on my life behind bars without my kids, family, friends, and sanity. Mr. Corey Parker represented me in 2010 in a complicated case. He had very little time to prepare which ended with amazing results. 'With his knowledge of the law and sincere compassion as a criminal attorney, I hands down would recommend Corey Parker for anyone that wants a real win. My family and myself thank you and your legal team Mr. Parker for I today have my freedom and get to be a part of all their lives.

Saved Me!
I have known Corey for a number of years, but have never had to hire an attorney before. I had a DUI when I was 19 years old, and a DWS in the 3rd degree shortly there after. I had used a public defender in those cases, and unfortunately found out eight years later that I had missed a court date for one of these offences and had had a bench warrant out for my arrest for that entire time! I suddenly found myself with a mountain of legal issues that I had to battle, and I knew that Corey was the right man for the job to help guide me through. I could not have been more impressed with Corey Parker's work ethic and expertise. He practices in California, although I live in Washington State (he is licensed to practice in both states). Even though there was great distance, it was like he was right by my side throughout the whole process! He was always quick to respond to questions and concerns, and helped guide me through the necessary steps before my court hearing. The original rulings in my case were good, in that I had my DUI deferred, but the prosecutor wanted to put all of that back on the table, which would have resulted in 30 days in jail, and a suspended drivers license for a year. Luckily I had Corey on my side, and was able to walk away with my original deal, so I have no DUI on my record, and full driving privileges still intact. Had I not hired Corey Parker as my attorney, I would have walked into that court room under prepared, and would almost certainly be sitting in a jail cell instead of writing this review for him right now. I am so grateful that I decided to consult with Mr. Parker before I hired him. He really helped me to understand what was at stake, even before I decided to hire him. This is something that after shopping attorneys for this case, I did not get from anyone else. He is committed to providing the best defense within the law to his clients, and making sure that they understand what is really happening with their case. When it was time for my hearing, Corey's presence in the courtroom was that of a veteran. He was extremely professional, and navigated my hearing seamlessly. I couldn't have felt like I was in better hands. I would happily recommend anyone to Corey Evan Parker, and will absolutely be hiring him if I ever need a defense attorney again. I could not have been more elated with the results, and am thrilled to have had him on my side, helping me achieve the best possible outcome for my case. I now am able to move forward with my life, and have Corey to thank for it. Thanks Corey! -Bryant

Extraordinary.
I was charged with a no injury " hit and run" after a decade with multiple prior vehicle misdemeanors. I was very devastated and I knew I needed to dedicate myself with 2 days of research to find the right attorney to be on my side. I finally got in touch with Corey E. Parker. verbally after via text among the others who either had attitude with me or had 2-3 assistants giving me the run around. I initially knew solely that based on his reviews, he seemed very legit and " well praised" for his integrity. When My dad and I met him in person, I knew it was true. Aswell as 5 months later when my case was settled it was the absolute minimum and nothing I expected to happen for an outcome. I will say that I have hired 2 attorneys writhin a decade...and Mr. Parker is the 3rd. It was more affordable than the rest for my situation and a better quality over all. I highly recommend him as a genuine and able attorney who believes in doing the best he can for his clients.

Best in his Field. *Hats off*
First and foremost, Mr. Parker’s reviews speak for themselves. When I was in search of a good attorney to hirer on for my superior case, I am and currently still a firm believer in someone who works efficiently and provides excellent service for their clients, the reviews should speak for him without having a meeting to judge whether or not if I wanted to acquire him as an attorney. ​Mr. Parker was exactly how he was talked about. Always made sure I was fully informed of each discussion that occurred between him and the prosecutor whether it was over the phone or by text. Always spoke with me regarding options in which would suit my best interest for the case at hand. If I ever had questions, (which I had more than I could spare) I would either call or text thus Mr. Parker would always return with an answer. The one or two times he did not answer a call, he immediately informed me that once he was out of a meeting or court he would contact me as soon as he could. Mr. Parker shows passion for his job and so does his speakers that may have to step in place for Mr. Parker in representing him at the stand due to a busy work schedule. ​My Case regarded an unfortunate sex offense which could have resulted in two to five years in prison. End result was that Mr. Parker and the courts were able to find a resolution that made my son’s and my life look brighter than it once did when this case was brought to my attention. I am now hiring Mr. Parker to represent me for a smaller case that falls into District Court and I carry good faith that Mr. Parker and his team will do their very best in bringing justice to what I seek. If anyone still has questions or doubts, a simple phone call will end them and you too will be able to carry on with life and concentrate on what needs to be done as Mr. Parker will guide you through a rough time. I am forever grateful that there are attorneys, maybe few but like Mr. Parker who work so diligently for their name and their client’s name. ​

Great from retrospect!!
I have attained this attorney. I FULLY Believe he has the capability and On Par know how to do very well on my minor case that could result in a bigger, more unfavorable outcome if I had not did my utmost BEST research. SO FAR I HAVE VERY GOOD FAITH IN THIS YOUNG MAN WHO SEEMS VERY SHARP And On Top of His game like I felt after speaking to over 3 others. I did my Research well. I know I am in Very Good hands. My dad and I were looking for a Very capable "on their toes type of guy who is a "Steadfast GO GETTER TYPE OF ATTORNEY WHO Cares about his clients but Also has he credentials to prove it." That is exactly what I was looking for when I found him after 5-6 different on and off interviews. This man is Extremely nice with his people for an initial conversation. He made my dad feel so relaxed and at utmost ease. I love him for being so cordial toward my father. And I have utmost faith in him as my attorney. Like I researched and thought in the first place.... He is On the TOP OF HIS GAME AND AGE FOR DOING IT!!! And Whatever the outcome is for me! I know he has and will do his best after interviewing with him. All in all above all I have a positive outlook.

Finally, a smart and compassionate attorney!
Corey was such a relief after the humiliating and painful experience of being charged with a crime. He actually listened to me with compassion, understands the laws extremely well, and was able to communicate everything to me very clearly and without being condescending. He gave me honest, practical advice on how to handle my case and helped navigate me through the system with my dignity intact. He was also very considerate of my financial constraints and provided legal advice and service at a very reasonable fee. I highly recommend Corey, for his intelligence, kindness, knowledge, and follow through. He helped turn a terrible experience into a good outcome.

And the verdict is... guilty of being a great lawyer!
Corey was a fantastic lawyer. When I came to him with my speeding ticket, he was very willing to help me contest the ticket. He explained the process of contesting the ticket and the possible outcomes. He handled my initial court appearance and informed me of the follow-up court appearance. He showed up to the follow-up court appearance and was able to get my case dismissed! He took care of everything for me. I recommend him as a lawyer and would use him again in a heartbeat!
