The Parker Law Firm

I am very happy to announce that I will be starting in February as a full-time judge in the Clayton County Magistrate Court. I am shutting down my law practice in order to take the bench. I want to thank the entire Magistrate Court staff and look forward to working with them on a full-time basis. I also want to give a very special thanks to Chief Magistrate Court Judge Keisha Wright Hill for the appointment, and to State Court Judge Sonyja George and Spalding County Chief Magistrate Court Judge Rita Cavanaugh for the their guidance and mentorship. Lastly, thank you to the attorneys and judges in the Henry County legal community, where my firm has been located for over 15 years.

A very sweet client gave me an orchid plant a few weeks ago, and it just bloomed!

I was sworn in today as a Judge in the Clayton County Magistrate Court. I am proud to be serving the County again. I will only be on the bench part-time, so my workers' compensation law practice will stay the same. Thank you to Chief Judge Keisha Wright Hill, all the folks at the Magistrate Court, and to Judge Ferguson for administering the Oath.

Thank you to the Henry County Bar Association for the very nice plaque and a great Christmas Party last night!
