Attorney Information
Overview
Joe Parrish, Jr. grew up in the small town of Auburndale, Florida where his father was the head football coach of the local high school. Mr. Parrish learned from his father, at a very young age, the value of hard work, perseverance in the face of adversity, and, above all, honesty. Coach Joe Parrish, Sr. (now retired) deeply cared about his football players and treated them all equally - they were part of the family. As an attorney, Joe Parrish, Jr. practices those same values with his clients. All of Mr. Parrish's clients here at Morgan & Morgan, P.A. - some of whom are experiencing their darkest days - are treated like family, because that's what they deserve.
Mr. Parrish's legal experience ranges from working for large international firms in Washington, D.C. all the way to operating his own small personal injury practice in his hometown. Now, nearly all of his legal practice is dedicated to battling insurance companies on behalf of people and small businesses devastated by the recent onslaught of hurricanes in both Florida and Louisiana. Helping people get their homes rebuilt, there businesses recovered, and leveling the playing field for the little guy in the fight for a fair insurance recovery is what Mr. Parrish does - it's why he became an attorney.
Mr. Parrish's legal career is dedicated to practicing For the People, and practicing For the People has been the most rewarding part of his legal journey. People aren't inspired to practice law because they dream of helping Goliath defeat David, they are inspired to help David take down Goliath. This is what Morgan & Morgan does every single day. It's what being For the People is all about. Mr. Parrish carries this mantra with him in every case, on behalf of every client. He is, now and forever, For the People.
