Posted by AM TSION | November 05, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Worst Attorney- Buyer BeWare

I hired Mr.Parker in summer of 2020 for a modification of school arrangement with my ex wife. Mr. Parker initial assessment of the case was that it was easy. He failed miserably and i am now in full litigation with my ex wife. I have also reported his gross incompetence and negligence to Virginia Sta...te Bar. * He did not understand the details of the case. He was not prepared for trial. * Clearly he was out matched by the opposing counsel as she knew what the judge can or cannot rule on. Evidently every other laywer i talked to hence that trial, knew what opposing counsel did. * He Failed Trial preparing, organization and delivery. He had an admin assistant that was providing legal advise which was wrong. There are several to go on but do not let his initial bravado and confidence tool you to think, he know what he is doing.

Great Attorney

I used Mr. Parker for a domestic violence case. He was readily available when I needed him. He was very clear and very understanding of anything I needed. He always made sure to care for your well being. We won the case without going through the trial.

Amazing Divorce Lawyer!

I used him for what I thought was going to be a messy divorce. He was very nice and explained all of my options to me. I thought about everything and ended up deciding to try and negotiate outside of the court. It took alot of patience, but in the end my ex and I were satisfied and it was way better ...than fighting it out in Court.

Great Attorney

I used Mr. Parker for a custody case. He was very honest and clear with me and always answered my calls - day or night. In the end we had a trial and I got the result I have been after for the past 2 years.

Great attorney

I've retained Mr. Parker for my case back in Febuary of 2011. Mr. Parker is an excellent attorney. I was amazed of how much Mr. Parker cares about you and your case. I've never met an attorney who deeply cares for his clients not just because you're paying him but because he truly cares for your well... being. He is very clear in what your needs are very passionate about his work. He is one of those people that you'll forget as long as you live. I definitely recommend Mr. Parker if you need any legal help. Lastly, of course, he protected my well being and won the case! Thanks again!
