Client Reviews
"I have known Peter Parsons over 25years and he was our corporate attorney for 20+ years until he retired from Davis Wright Tremaine. His counsel, legal opinions, legal action on our behalf and wise input during that time served Spectralux well. I always knew that Peter may not say what I wanted to hear but the advice was correct. His honesty and integrity are without question. I continue to seek his advice and know I can trust what he says."
"I was fortunate to become one of Peter Parsons' early clients when he started the Software Practice Group at Davis Wright Tremaine during early American history. Over the years, Peter helped guide me and my company through a number of transactions and legal quagmires. For many years, he functioned as our de facto General Counsel. His vast contact base and business acumen always served to put the right effort and the right team together for whatever we were facing. It's true that I have some bias, because Peter has become my close friend and confidant. To your great fortune, Peter has shown a profound resistance to ceasing the practice of law. The only thing I know that Peter has failed at doing is retirement, so we're all blessed to have his practicum available again. If you want your deal done, if you want to win your negotiation, if you want great advice about how to structure a transaction that will actually work, or you just want that contract done correctly, so you can eventually unwind it if you need to, engage with Peter and you'll be glad you did. Just please don't take all of his time, because I still need some of it."
