When we started, we were looking for lawyer to defend our loved one. Through this ordeal we found he not only represented our loved one, but also defended our rights to choose a trusted and respected lawyer.
When we found Mr. Parris, we had been jaded by others within Mr. Parris' city who were claiming to assist us. His Paralegal who answered the phone, responded beautifully and was the first light of hope we had in bringing our loved one home. After explaining what had just occurred the last couple of days and how the person we were dealing with had conned us, Mr. Parris jumped right in. Logistics were considered and taken into account when dealing with our case, from where we would stay in town, when we needed to be present and what was expected of us. Mr. Parris acted promptly and aggressively. His experience and knowledge of his skill floored us. We were to “say the least” very impressed and relieved that we were dealing with a person whose integrity spoke volumes. It is said to be a good lawyer you must not only be in touch with your skill but also with the world around you. Having a lawyer who practices that, made a world of difference in our case. He is confident and people around him respect his skill. We were treated with tact and genuine concern over our situation.
Mr. Parris did not let us know whether the case would be won or lost at the initial interview; he understood as family we were not aware of all the facts and there was certainly another side to the story. Changes can impact the case and he was comfortable explaining that to us. A great lawyer knows that things are not necessarily what they are represented to be. Some may call that being "cynical; “I prefer the word "experienced." Mr. Parris helped us to understand how things can change, and promised to give us a more definite opinion as the level of knowledge of the case increased. Mr. Parris managed to ease our mind across a span of three states. As the information was learned with the case, Mr. Parris was very truthful with the expectations and kept us well informed.
Race, age and gender are immaterial and Mr. Parris' office is definitely a seeker of justice for the people. If you’re looking for a caring, non-racial lawyer who cares about the case not your skin color, you have found him. I am convinced Mr. Parris uses his best efforts to overcome the bias handicap of stereotyping which leads to people taking advantage of situations. He is fighting for impartial representation along with understanding ways to bring an end to taking advantage of people regardless of race, color, age or situation and rather bring justice to the people he serves.

How does one find the best attorney they can from 1,000 miles away - on a Saturday afternoon? That is the question we were faced with when we learned our son, a college student in Memphis, was in jail. Knowing no one else in Memphis, we started with the Internet, where there is so little information on which to base such an important decision. My husband was astute enough to zero in on the website for Robert Parris. We immediately sent an e-mail and his office called within half an hour. We gave an overview of our son's arrest and were told they would try to reach Mr. Parris. Within just a few minutes, Mr. Parris returned our call, despite the fact he had guests visiting his home. We had been trying for hours to find out if bond could be set and we were repeatedly told it could be as late as Monday morning before that would happen. After hearing the little we knew about the case, Mr. Parris was honest in his assessment but outlined what he could do for us, starting with getting bond set to get our son out of jail. Within two hours, bond was set and posted.
After hearing the facts of the case, Mr. Parris indicated that if the video of the arrest supported these facts, there was a possibility he could get the charges dropped. He was careful to warn us that he could not guarantee any outcome but that that would be his strategy. We are so grateful to say that this was indeed the outcome of the case.
We believe the success Mr. Parris achieved in this case is a testament to the respect he commands in the legal community. From getting bond set quickly, to "fast-tracking" the hearing, to getting the charges dismissed, Mr. Parris did everything he said he thought he could do, all while keeping us informed and treating my son with respect. We are deeply appreciative of the manner in which this case was handled by Mr. Parris and would recommend him highly to anyone in need of legal services. As my son so eloquently put it, "Robert Parris is a beast!" High praise from a twenty-two year old, and we would definitely agree with that assessment.
