cannot recommend Jim Parkman Law enough. We were dealing with a terrifying situation involving federal charges, and Jim’s expertise was a game-changer. He is widely known as a premier Birminghamdefense lawyer, but his skill in federal court across the board is unmatched. He has a way of breaking down complex legal issues so you actually understand what's happening. If you’re in Alabama and need a powerhouse for defense or serious felony charges, don't settle for less. Jim is professional, aggressive in the courtroom, and truly cares about his clients.

Mr. Parkman is one of the most expensive lawyers around, but well worth the money. He really puts on a show in the court room.

Working with attorney Jim Parkman was a nightmare. I believe that he mislead me the entire time. I strongly believe that he violated his fiduciary duty to me. I believe that he intentionally Undermined my case and threw me under the bus. I believe there is strong evidence in my opinion to suggest he drained all my insurance money dry and then simply stopped representing me in essence. He failed to return phone calls emails and became very inflammatory with me during a simple discussion of my case. I cannot in any good conscience remotely recommend Mr. Jim Parkman attorney-at-law! I believe that he is out for number one and number one only. At first he is charming friendly and seems enthusiastic. Initially he was very likable and an affable man. I wonder what image he sees staring back at him when he looks in the mirror?
