After graduating high school in 1988, Mr. Parrish joined the United States Army, completing special training in infantry combat and becoming a Korean Linguist. Once his military tour was complete, Mr. Parrish began working as a civilian analyst for the Intelligence Division of the U.S. Southern Command in Panama.
Mr. Parrish decided to return stateside and complete his education as an attorney with a desire to represent the people against those who had wronged them. While attending Indiana University – Indianapolis Law School, Mr. Parrish became president of the Phi Alpha Delta legal fraternity, was voted as a representative at large of the student body, was lead counsel on the trial team which went to the National Regional Finals, and was an editor for the Indiana Law Review.
Mr. Parrish graduated from law school at the top of his class with honors and began working for one of Florida’s most prominent defense law firms. The experience in a defense-oriented law firm provided invaluable insight into the strategies and tactics used by defense firms during litigation. After gaining the needed experience and unwavering desire to represent the injured, Mr. Parrish left the large defense firm. He began working for a small but high-volume, plaintiff-focused law firm, from which Mr. Parrish further developed his trial advocacy skills.
All the abovementioned experiences have provided Mr. Parrish with the tools to effectively represent his clients, from pre-suit negotiations to post-trial practice, with integrity, tenacity, and personal service.
