November 15, 2017, Fort Worth, TX – W. Bradley Parker of the Parker Law Firm in Bedford has been named the 2017 recipient of the H.G. Wells Outstanding Trial Lawyer Award by the Tarrant County Trial Lawyers Association (TCTLA). The award will be presented on November 15, 2017 at the TCTLA Annual Meeting.
“Brad Parker has spent the past three decades devoting himself to helping others, whether they be victims of tragedy, veterans needing support, or fellow attorneys. His career accomplishments are well-known and place him in a class of trial lawyers with few peers,” said Wade Barrow, President of TCTLA. “What is not so well-known about Brad is that he did all of this as a single dad raising two young girls to become strong, successful women. I cannot think of a more worthy candidate for the Wells Award.”
Past recipients include John Jose (2016), Steve Laird (2015), Kevin Byrne (2014), Darrell Keith (2013), Jenks Garrett (2012), Hal Monk (2011), Art Brender (2010) and David Broiles (2009).
Parker has practiced personal injury trial law since he was admitted to the bar in 1985 and is board certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
He is a member of the State Bar of Texas, the American Association for Justice, the American Board of Trial Advocates, the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, the Tarrant County Bar Association and the TCTLA. Parker received his bachelor’s degree in Government from the University of Texas at Austin and his J.D. from Texas Tech University School of Law. Parker is an AV®-rated attorney, the highest rating awarded by Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings. Parker has also served as Tarrant County Bar President (2010 – 2011); President of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association (2013); President of TCTLA (1999); and served as Panel Chair, District 7A Grievance Committee of the State Bar of Texas (2006 – 2008).
