JEFF PARKER LAW FIRM
“I cannot count the number of times I have sat in court, waiting for a case to start, and I’ve been able to satisfy a client’s desire to have an immediate response regarding some simple question. I have turned what would have been wasted time sitting in a courtroom into productive, and billable, time.” Jeff
