Mr. Parkman has handled cases including a high-level health services executive accused of accounting fraud, a powerful Swedish businessman charged with embezzlement, a former mayor of Detroit in connection with public corruption charges, and an Alabama state senator accused of bribery, conspiracy, and money laundering charges.
