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.
