Purchasing Property in France
Would most highly recommend Catherine for any work associated with purchasing property in France. She skillfully worked with our French Notaire to provide necessary legal opinions regarding holding title and succession for our property in Paris. The opinion she generated was succinct, understandable,...

An excellent and as yet unrecognized lawyer
Ms. Parker skillfully guided my husband through his immigration case that was complicated by the errors of two previous lawyers. She was not only superbly competent, she was a pleasure to work with.

Catherine M Parker's Lawyer Endorsements
Channika Desilva
Corporate and incorporation lawyer | Mar 07
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Ms. Parker is a highly skilled, diligent and knowledgeable attorney who is well-known in the legal community for her outstanding professionalism. She was able to obtain satisfactory results even for clients whose cases were incredibly difficult by dedicating her time and effort to achieve the best results. I certainly endorse this lawyer and have no doubt she will be of great help to anyone seeking legal advice or representation within her main areas of practice."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Parker is a very knowledgeable and effective advocate for her clients."
"I strongly endorse Catherine. I've known her for over 12 years and have referred cases to her, and have handled cases with her (transactional and litigation matters alike). She never disappoints. She is pragmatic, thorough, and extremely intelligent. Her knowledge of the law, writing skills, and creative out-of-the-box thinking allows her to achieve her given client's objective. All of my client referrals have appreciated her work, and more importantly, have been more than pleased with the results she obtained on their behalf. I recently handled a very complex business litigation case with her in Los Angeles, which also related to two ongoing French actions. Due to her efforts, we were able to defeat the two French actions, and won a huge victory for our Client in Los Angeles. This was a case that could have been litigated for years, but was quickly resolved within months. To those who are considering hiring Catherine, please know that you are in very capable hands!"
