David will work tirelessly to protect your rights, build a strong defense strategy, and fight for the best possible outcome in your case.
Misdemeanor Defense
Even minor criminal charges can have serious consequences that can impact your life for years to come. For example, some misdemeanor offenses require submitting a DNA sample to a state database upon conviction. If you’re facing misdemeanor charges, don’t leave your future to chance. At David G.

Parker Law, we understand the long-term impact a criminal record can have on your life, and will work to help you move forward with a clean slate when possible.
