Mat Parke

Boise, ID

I’m Mat Parke and I want to be your personal injury lawyer. I was born and raised in Idaho and was taught how to work hard while doing chores on my father’s farm. I got up at 5:30 AM every morning to milk the cows before school. I knew my job was important because the cows would suffer if I slacked off. I was also taught personal responsibility. I was taught that if I made a mistake that harmed someone else, I should take responsibility and do everything I could to make it right. I applied the hard work that I learned on the farm to my academic pursuits. As a college student, I would wake up at 5:30 AM to study. My Idaho work ethic earned me a spot at Harvard Law School where I met my wife, the love of my life. As a lawyer, I have learned that many big businesses and insurance companies do not share my sense of responsibility. Instead, they put profits before principles. I choose to represent individuals who need an attorney to level the playing field against the team of attorneys hired by insurance companies. I find great personal satisfaction when I successfully take on the big guys and obtain fantastic results for my clients. If you are feeling upset, frustrated, or even angry because someone else’s carelessness has affected your life, I’m here to help you.
