About

Rob became licensed to practice law in Illinois in 2009.  Since 2015, he is a Fellow of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys. According to their website, members are experts in the complexities of adoption law and the variety of interstate and international regulations surrounding adoption*,  and must maintain their practice according to the highest standards of ethics, competence and professionalism. Rob has been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Rising Star since 2015, which recognizes no more than 2.5% of lawyers in Illinois. Also in 2015 Leading Lawyers profiled Rob and Drew Parker's law practice as a father-son duo. Rob has been named an Emerging Lawyer by the Leading Lawyers Network, being featured in 2016 as "Peoria's Savvy Adoption and Family Law Counselor." That year he was one of six attorneys in Peoria under 40 to be named to both Super Lawyers’ and Leading Lawyers’ lists.Rob is involved with the Peoria County Bar Association, chairing and assisting in a number of committees; the American Bar Association; a Barrister in the American Inns of Court; and a licensed DCFS Panel Attorney, which means he handles adoptions of children out of foster care and helps adoptive parents complete state monetary subsidies for those adoption placements.   Rob has handled trials in both federal and state court, and appeals in the Third District Appellate Court. These cases have included many large divorces, contested adoptions, murder appeals and trials, and methamphetamine manufacturing, and international child abduction under the Hague Convention, as well as a nursing home case that reportedly settled for the highest amount in Knox County.Rob was born and raised in Peoria, where he attended Notre Dame High School. He received his bachelor degree at the University of Illinois in 2005 as a James Scholar, with a major in political science and minors in anthropology and philosophy.  Law school followed at St. Louis University School of Law, where he was on the trial team and served as Vice President of the Student Bar during his second and third years. Prior to graduating there in 2009, he worked at the Missouri Attorney General helping prosecute child sex crimes and the St. Louis Public Defender’s Office defending felony crimes. (*The Supreme Court of Illinois does not recognize certifications of specialties in the practice of law, and the recognition is not required to practice law in Illinois.)

I met Rob as he was just beginning his professional tenure. He "looked" very young, like a younger brother. What I soon learned was that his motivation and tenacity for helping people with their legal issues was leaps and bounds beyond others. Rob is kind and compassionate but more importantly, he educates to ensure that you understand the law. Rob spent hours researching the "fine print", so-to-speak, finding numerous loopholes in a contract that I had signed. He continued to work with me and the company involved ensuring that I was fully represented. I was kept informed on the movement of my case. My inquiries were responded to promptly. I was not spoken down to. I highly recommend speaking to Rob about your legal questions. Asking Rob Parker to represent you will be the BEST legal decision you will make!

I was unsure of where to go for legal advice when I faced a situation that required an attorney. Rob Parker, from the law firm of PARKER & PARKER, was recommended. I set up a meeting and told Rob my story. He was kind and compassionate as he listened. Since I had never dealt with this situation before, Rob was able to communicate to me in terms that I could understand. He won my case! I am now currently receiving legal advice from Rob on a personal injury matter. If you want a professional and ethical attorney, I would highly recommend Rob Parker or ANY of the attorneys at PARKER & PARKER.

Rob was quick with responses, mindful of fees, and realistic with outcomes. He researched, went the extra mile and consistently kept my best interest in mind.
