Corey Evan Parker's Reviews

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 c...onsultation. 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.

One of the worlds greatest attorneys...

I read every review and all of them are true. Corey is one of the best attorneys I have come across. He answers all text messages,emails and calls when scheduled. It was great working with him and although outcome wasn't a great one he fought for our family and I appreciate all his help. Thanks a mil...lion Corey we appreciate all that you have done and will continue to do for us.

Posted by Bryant | October 09, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

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

Posted by Theo | April 28, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Sex Crime

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. ​

Posted by Enoch | October 20, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

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!
