Attorney James ("Jim") Parrish and The Parrish Law Firm have successfully handled many cases in the areas of personal injury, motorcycle accidents, traumatic brain injury, wrongful death claims, car crashes, tractor-trailer collisions, dog bites/attacks, medical malpractice, DWI/DUI, driving on suspended license and reckless driving. On this page you will find personal testimonials from a number of the many people we have helped.

Jim's expert advice and counsel allowed for a negotiated settlement of unpaid compensation from my former employer.

Jim had a thorough understanding of my complaint, reviewed my company's compensation plan and researched applicable state and federal law.

With the information at hand, an initial claim was filed. Negotiations ensued and within a reasonable amount of time a draft settlement was proposed.

Additional negotiations to the draft were concluded rapidly and a check was issued within two weeks of agreement.

Jim took a strong position with this claim and produced satisfactory results. Opposing counsel commended him for his advocacy.

A lousy situation was rectified. Many thanks.

James Parrish and the office staff of the Parrish Law Firm took the time to explain things to me throughout the life of my case. I always felt as though I was kept up to date with the status of my situation and my questions were always answered in a timely fashion. I highly recommend the Parrish Law Firm to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer in Virginia.

Mr. Parrish - you and your entire staff are exceptional! Everyone treated me so warm and extended themselves beyond belief, especially Laura and Ms. Dupray, who was most professional, competent and compassionate in Court. Things were very rough for me right now, so your collective acts of warmth and kindness mean the world to me.

Thank you!

Also, he refused to accept the false story of the other driver (as well as his insurance company) and won my case at trial. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a car accident lawyer in Virignia.

"James Parrish is an accomplished and well respected Virginia personal injury lawyer and traffic attorney. He has written consumer's guides on both Virginia car accidents and Virginia dog bite claims. He is also the author of very informative reports on driving while intoxicated/driving under the influence and reckless driving, that are a must read for anyone arrested for such criminal offenses in Virginia. James has a unique background of having represented and instructed law enforcement agencies in Virginia, as well as worked for insurance companies defending personal injury claims. Luckily for Virginia accident victims James has "seen the light" and has now devoted his professional talents to the representing wrongfully injured rather than the powerful insurance companies of the world. I recommend him wholeheartedly and unconditionally. Virginia accident victims and persons charged with traffic violations in Virginia would be very fortunate to have a man of James' caliber on their side."

Dear Mr. Parrish,

I am writing to thank you for representing me in the above case.
All that remains, therefore, is this individual expression of gratitude.

It was obvious that you put forth your best effort on my behalf. You were both adroit and adept, and you maintained a distinguished composure and command that was reassuring to me as your client. Of even more comfort, however, was your gentle kindness and patience. The first qualities I mentioned make you a great attorney. Your compassion and forbearance make you a better man.

And, for that, I thank you.

Sincerely,

S.H.-McLean, VA

On September 19, 2008 my life radically changed in an instant when I was crashed into by an SUV driven by a negligent woman in Manassas. I was visiting from the state of New York and had a busy agenda ahead of me; all that changed.

After being medically discharged, my second crash occurred. Namely, trying to get services from my and the other driver's insurance carriers. This nightmare was/is actually worse than the crash itself. After paying my insurance premiums all these years, I found myself victimized again by the insurance company paid to protect my interests in the event of an accident.

Fortunately, I found the local law firm of Jim Parrish and I contacted him via his website. Within the day of contact, Jim Parrish replied immediately and offered to set up a face-to-face appointment to discuss my accident. Due to obstacles from a lack of transportation, I had to postpone the first appointment time offered.

However, free of charge, directly from the website download, I was able to acquire the most valuable tool in my pursuit of insurance "justice". I am speaking of "The Virginia Accident Guide" authored by attorney Jim Parrish and provided with no strings attached. This small easily readable pamphlet clearly laid out exactly what I should expect in the insurance scrimmage that inevitably ensues when a citizen is involved in a car accident.

I read it thoroughly and then I re-read it to make sure I had the best defenses for my future encounters with the 2 insurance firms involved. The pamphlet is very readable and comfortable. The language is clear as a bell and does not speak in condescending lawyerly vocabulary. Jim Parrish's writing style is as comfortable as chatting with a neighbor over coffee. And, best of all, it contains valuable information I needed to get started taking on those insurance companies.

What was quite evident after reading this booklet is that I probably was not going to be Jim Parrish's client due to the small scale of my accident. Although I knew my case did not satisfy M. Parrish's criteria, he insisted on meeting me anyway. At our appointed time, Mr. Parrish thoroughly read and reviewed all my medical and government/legal documents and then provided free legal advice on the spot; knowing he would probably never be able to represent me for his own profit.

A lawyer's only stock is his time to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, and Mr. Parrish certainly made a generous contribution of his time the hour of our appointment. I am and continue to be grateful to Mr. Parrish's generosity of spirit and his invaluable booklet, "The Virginia Accident Guide" for illuminating several of the insurance company's tactics and strategies used to delay and minimize the customer's rights and reparations. Thanks to his publication, I have a more functional language and powerful toolset to verbally spar with the insurers and get results.

I highly recommend others who find themselves thrust into a similar situation to check out his website and download his booklet. Better still, get it in printed format and keep it in your glove compartment in your vehicles along with your registration and insurance cards. You won't be disappointed... and it's free!

Yours truly,
Lorraine Jackson-Ordia

Virginia attorney Jim Parrish has written an exceptional book to help dog bite victims. His book, The Insider's Guide to Dog Bite Claims in Virginia, is packed with information about the claims and legal processes involved in dog bite cases.

What is also valuable is Mr. Parrish's status as a prior insurance defense lawyer. With this experience, Mr. Parrish is able to provide unique insight into how insurance companies evaluate dog bite claims and what steps victims need to take to protect their rights and maximize their recovery. Without a doubt, anyone who has been seriously injured by a dog in Virginia must not only read Mr. Parrish's book, but also hire him on the spot!
