Sophisticated Defense for White Collar Crimes in Alabama, Nationwide
It was a shock heard 'round the world when former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy was acquitted of all 36 counts in his 2005 trial on securities fraud and multiple other federal crimes. Except to those familiar with Jim Parkman and his courtroom prowess.
The attorneys of Parkman, Adams & White had obtained similar results for hundreds of previous clients, but the Scrushy case catapulted Jim Parkman and our Birmingham law firm onto a national and international media stage.
Parkman, Adams & White, based in Alabama yet representing clients throughout the United States, was founded in 2003. Mr. Parkman brought on two accomplished trial lawyers as partners, Martin Adams and William White, to establish what has become a premier practice in criminal defense. Today our team comprises six accomplished attorneys and a large staff of highly qualified paralegals and support personnel.
Our chief focus is fraud and white collar crimes and major drug charges, but we provide formidable representation in all areas of felony criminal defense. In particular, Parkman, Adams & White is geared for high profile state and federal charges and criminal appeals at the state and federal levels.
National Renown and Media Exposure
Parkman, Adams & White has obtained notable results in a wide range of cases — improbable acquittals and dismissals, preemptive victories at the grand jury indictment stage, and laudable plea agreements for clients otherwise facing many years in a federal penitentiary. Many of these were high-profile cases that attracted major media coverage, such as our defense of Kwame Kilpatrick, the embattled former mayor of Detroit, and Swedish businessman Stefan Eriksson, accused of crashing a rare Ferrari sports car.
Partners have appeared on Fox News and CNBC for their expert legal commentary regarding the 2006 Enron trial and its similarities to the HealthSouth trial. They have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Forbes, USA Today, US News & World Report, the Sarbanes Oxley Compliance Journal and CNN.Money, to name a few.
