Civil Trial Specialist, Texas Board of Legal Specialization
The Law Offices of Mike Parker, P.C., is located in Carthage, Texas, and serves the legal needs of businesses and individuals throughout East Texas. As founding attorney, I represent clients facing complex legal disputes in a wide range of practice areas, including oil and gas litigation, general civil litigation, family law, real estate law, estate planning and probate. I also serve as local counsel for law firms located outside the region.
Guided by a Commitment to Client Service
Having practiced law for more than 30 years, I believe that every client deserves skilled and dedicated legal representation. While I have served as counsel for numerous large corporations, I am just as proud to represent small-business owners and individuals. Regardless of the nature or size of a client's claim, I am committed to providing legal excellence for every case.
I understand that no two cases are alike and each client faces unique legal challenges. As your attorney, I will complete a careful assessment of your individual legal position. I then create a highly customized legal plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
As the founder of a small firm, I am able to work directly with each of my clients and provide personalized service. Client communication is very important at my practice, and I am always happy to speak with clients and discuss their concerns or provide status updates. I believe that keeping clients informed places them in a better position to make educated legal decisions.

Solid Legal Advocacy From a Civil Trial Specialist
Through continued hard work and dedication to legal excellence, I have been designated a board-certified civil trial specialist by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and I am a member of American Board of Trial Advocates. I provide aggressive legal advocacy both in and outside of the courtroom. While not all matters will end up at trial, having an attorney who has been recognized as a trial specialist can greatly improve your leverage during negotiations and settlements. In the event your matter is taken to trial, I am an experienced courtroom litigator and use creative legal tactics to promote or defend your position. Backed by a strong track record of success, I continue to help clients achieve their legal goals.
