About

I grew up in the small shoreline town of Madison, Connecticut as Pamela T. Harvey. I graduated from Florida State University in 1991 with a B.S. in Psychology. In 2002, I earned my Juris Doctor at Quinnipiac University School of Law in Hamden, Connecticut. During law school I attended class in the evening and worked full time during the day, first as a paralegal at a litigation firm handling mass tort claims and later as a toxic tort consultant at a major insurance company.After graduating from law school, I clerked for the Honorable Thomas L. Nadeau, Superior Court Judge for the State of Connecticut. I later became a litigation associate representing policyholders seeking coverage under their commercial general liability policies.In 2005, I made a life changing cross-country move from Connecticut to the Teton County, Idaho/Wyoming area. In 2005 and 2006, I performed legal research and writing services for attorneys located in throughout Wyoming and Idaho on a variety of subjects, including torts, contracts, family law, municipal law, personal injury, criminal law and property law. Between 2007 and 2010 I practiced law at Meyer & Williams, P.C. in Jackson, Wyoming as a litigation attorney representing individuals suffering from catastrophic personal injuries. During my tenure at Meyer & Williams, P.C. I assisted in litigating a three-month personal injury case in Montana against a major product manufacturer, resulting in a multi-million-dollar verdict in favor of our clients. Between 2010 and 2012, I practiced law as a litigation associate at a general practice law firm located in Jackson, Wyoming performing legal work in the areas of family law, contracts, criminal law, insurance defense and personal injury. I opened the Parkins Law Office, PLLC in March of 2012.  Since that time, I have resolved hundreds of cases for individuals residing in Western Wyoming and Southeast Idaho.I have been actively involved in litigating cases nationwide since 1994 and am a member of the Wyoming, Idaho and Connecticut Bar Associations.Over the past few years I have enjoyed providing volunteer services for the Teton County Mentor Project in Jackson, Wyoming and the Teton Valley Foundation in Driggs, Idaho. Through the Teton County Access to Justice Center (http://tetonjustice.org) in Jackson, Wyoming and as a contract public defender in Teton County, Idaho, I provide legal services to individuals who have little or no ability to afford these services. I have served on the board of the Community Resource Center of Teton Valley (https://crctv.org), located in Driggs, Idaho, since the beginning of 2018.In November of 2011, I married Rob Parkins, an avid fly fisherman and outdoorsman who works tirelessly as the Public Waters Access Coordinator for Backcountry Hunters & Anglers (https://www.backcountryhunters.org). I spend my free time gardening, reading, exploring, hiking, camping, skiing and fly fishing in the mountains and rivers of Wyoming and Idaho, often in the company of my husband, our two black labs and some great friends!!

I highly recommend Pamela Parkins. I came to her with what we thought was a simple divorce. It probably ended up being one of the most challenging one that took years to resolve. The other party was uncooperative and difficult to deal with at times. This was a very complex since the other party was located in Alaska. Pam handled it professionally and gave me confidence we will get thru this together. She's compassionate but tough when needs be. She always got back to me immediately by phone, email, text and always explained clearly what my options were. I am very glad I chose her to handle my divorce. She stayed by me the whole time. Even researching and using resources with matters she was not familiar with like military. Best decision I made using her legal services. Highly recommend her!

Pam is smart, kind and strong. I needed a lot of education on how the process of a divorce worked. Pam was very patient and helped me understand my rights. She fought for me in a gentle velvet hammer kind of way. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing a divorce attorney.

I highly recommend Pamela Treste Parkins I called from Minnesota regarding litigation in Wyoming. Ms. Parkins was knowledgeable, very pleasant and extremely helpful. After speaking with her, I feel that our business is on the right path to reaching the resolve it seeks.

I consider myself very fortunate to have been referred to Pam Parkins for legal representation this past year. Pam handled my divorce from consultation on the statute requirements in Idaho/Wyoming through my final divorce decree. Particularly I appreciate how Pam was able to be my advocate and representative in what was a painful process. She did so with class and was extremely professional in all interactions with opposing council. I would and will hire Pam for any additional issues that may arise with my case and would recommend her to anyone in search of a talented attorney for family law or other legal needs.

Pamela provided excellent professional services. She was able to keep a clear and open mind through my divorce proceedings, which in turn helped me to make clear concise decisions. She was easy to communicate with and was able to be reached whenever I need to discuss my case. I would highly recommend Pamela, if you want a no nonsense attorney to get the job done right in a timely manner.

Pamela was the only attorney in my area who was willing to work with me on a very tight budget. Pamela was very honest and thoughtful. I always felt like she cared about my case and the out come. All though the out come was not what I was hopping for she worked very hard on making it the best situation I could get out of my case.

Pam help me deal with the aftermath of my daughter's untimely and suspicious death and my rights as a grandparent. I have worked with Pam for over two years under very difficult circumstances. She has always been there for me with sound legal advice and compassionate help and direction as we continue to work through this very complicated situation.

I was in desperate need of a lawyer with not a lot of money. She was willing to work with me on payments and was very professional and thorough when it came to my divorce. I had never gone through legal issues before and felt I was in good hands with someone who cared. Thank you Pam!
