"Three A+++ lawyers in one firm!"
While represented by PTLaw, I had the good fortune to be advised at various times by each of the three partners. I can resoundingly recommend all three gentlemen, for their dedication to the client, their preparedness and diligence about the law, and their ability to convey complex ideas -- and tough messages -- simply and effectively. They are all A+++ attorneys in my book.

"I Would Definitely Recommend This Law Firm"
Being arrested for the 2nd time after 25 years of being on the right side of the law, I admit I had no clue of what to do. But a good friend of mine recommended me to call Parkinson, Tarpey Law. It was the best call I ever could have made. Michael Parkinson was professional and clarified my options. His presence and demeanor in the courtroom was a perfect blend of knowledge and tactful communication... I would definitely recommend this law firm to anyone has any type of scrape with law.

"Tim Really Helped Us!"
My brother got himself into trouble. He had a PD [public defender] who wasn't doing anything for him. … We found Tim Tarpey … and he was able to get the bail lowered. … [My brother] was facing a lot of jail time and we found Tim and he was able to actually fix the problem. He didn't get any jail time. … We had talked to other lawyers that wanted a lot of money and was telling him just to take a plea bargain and do the time. He didn't do any jail time. … Tim really helped us and eased our minds.”
