DO NOT CHOOSE!

Do Not Choose This Firm..unless you want to be mismanaged, ignored, talked down to, and mistreated. I suffered for over a year trying to give them a chance to do the right thing with my WC case. Phone calls ignored, emails ignored or rudely answered with only one question answered, huge delay in fili...ng paperwork and impossible to get any appointments scheduled with medical providers all while I'm suffering severely. I had to do a lot of things myself. Chose someone else thats my opinion.

Unreliable and Rude

Retained this lawyer a few years ago. Made a mess of things delaying my case, never fulfilled what he promised and on top of delaying and exceeding the statue of limitations he was extremely rude and flakey. Never showed up for my depositions leaving me in vulnerable state with the defense attacking ...me with no proper representation. Despite his reviews probably acquaintances or very few clients save yourself the heartache. He's not you're legal champion just merely a weak and cowardly legal loser. There's better representation out there that will support you and your case. This guy will only delay your case and come up with rudeness and excuses. Still my case has been delayed to this day because of the mess he created which my new lawyer is still trying to clean up, He never fulfilled anything promised. Just a paper pusher who doesn't read his emails nor does he show up for important appointments and constant miscommunication.

VP of Operations and Finance

I have retained attorney Jarod Akil Parker on multiple occasions spanning several years. He has delivered better than expected results each time. Mr. Parker came highly recommended by friends and colleagues and I now understand why he is held in such high esteem. Mr. Parker is a very well-rounded att...orney. His depth of legal knowledge, insight into the inter-workings of the court system, ability to build rapport with attorneys and judges, excellent litigation skills and a true desire to advocate for his clients based on a sincere compassion are the attributes that give Mr. Parker an unmatched legal acumen. He is also keenly aware of the importance of helping his clients feel at peace by keeping them abreast of the status of their case on a regular basis and helping them understand legal jargon and technicalities in layman’s terms. Mr. Parker derives most of his business through referrals by satisfied clients who have experienced his exemplary professionalism. It is noteworthy that despite the difficult circumstances that his clients may find themselves in, Mr. Parker is able to alleviate the financial pressure and emotional distress by providing a good experience that leads to referrals to other clients.
