An Excellent Divorce Attorney

I am thankful I found Bill Parks to help me through my divorce. He was responsive, provided incredible advice along the way, and guided me through the process in a professional manner. At every stage of the process, I felt that he was truly working to get the process resolved versus tagging the c...lock for additional fees along the way, which was my biggest fear in finding an attorney. He is level-headed and extremely knowledgeable about the process, and I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

Honest and knowledgeble

I found Bill to be honest, open, and knowledgeable. Based on his honest evaluation of my case I decided to pursue mediation rather than continuing on with litigation. Bill was completely supportive of my decision . I appreciate that he did not try to embellish anything .

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.
