Hello!  My name is Tara R. Parker.  I entered the legal profession because I wanted to be in a position where my job would allow me to help people.  And, what better place to help people than in the legal arena?  A courtroom can be a particularly intimidating setting for the average citizen and, further, the occasion a person has to stand before a judge often is the result of a highly stressful event such as a divorce, criminal charge, breach of contract, etc.  On top of that, the outcome of a person’s interaction with the court system can have a substantial impact on the future of that individual as well as those close to him or her.  Legal representation can play a significant role in reducing stress, ensuring that proper procedures are followed, and allowing a client’s voice to be heard and his or her rights zealously fought for!
