Trustworthy when it counts

I was referred to Parks Law Group by a highly respected attorney and immediately knew Bill must be really good. Well, I wasn't prepared for Bill to be THAT good. I did a bit more research on Bill and found out many other people respect Bill's capability as a family law attorney and divorce lawyer. ... Bill is very attentive and responsive. He offers a free initial consultation and although he says it's 30 minutes, he gave me almost an hour of his time and undivided attention. Immediately I knew and trusted him with my divorce drama and child custody dispute. Personally, I did not want to deal with my ex, but yet didn't know who to trust either. There are a ridiculous amount of San Francisco family law lawyers in the Bay Area, but there aren't many you can trust with your most personal issues, I can honestly say Bill is one of the few family law attorneys you can trust.

Very skilled and competent family lawyer

Bill caught my attention while I was in court representing myself in my divorce case. He was very confident, well prepared, and utterly cool under pressure. From what I could tell he got exactly what he asked the court for, for his client. I later did more research on Bill and realized many peo...ple highly recommended him. Therefore, I hired him to represent me in my divorce case. However, my case was not that simple. I was hoping to get custody of my children, asking for alimony and child support. The attorney representing my "ex" was exceedingly difficult and very much a bully. I desperately needed help and Bill knew exactly how to handle my case, the other lawyer, and my many emotions. He also knew how to present the best possible case to the court. I would strongly recommend him for any family law problems you are facing.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jan 29

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. He does good detailed work on his pleadings, charges fair rates, is strong in court, and does not let things devolve into bickering (unlike some attorneys). In court today, I was very surprised when the judge agreed with him on an issue of a smith-ostler bonus table."

Family lawyer | Apr 19

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Parks was/is fair and easy to work with as an opposing attorney in the family law case we are handling for our respective clients. Mr. Parks represents my client's husband. When I work with attorneys like Mr. Parks, it makes my job much easier--which in the end, is in my client's best interests--as it reduces the conflict as well as the legal fees. Mr. Parks checks his ego at the door and puts his client's needs first. I wish ALL opposing counsel were like Mr. Parks--easy to work with, honest and fair with opposing counsel and focused on quickly and amicably resolving legal issues. (To the reader: I was not asked to write this endorsement. I did it on my own accord. This endorsement will be a surprise to Mr. Parks.)"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
