Attorney Curt Parkins is a trial attorney at Pisanchyn Law Firm with a reputation built in the courtroom, not behind a desk.
He graduated cum laude from Boston University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and went on to earn his law degree with honors from Temple University Beasley School of Law. While at Temple, he focused heavily on Trial Advocacy, earning multiple merits and distinctions in the program. From the beginning, his goal was clear: become a courtroom lawyer.
Since returning to the Scranton area in 2011, Attorney Parkins has dedicated his career to litigation. He has tried more than 100 jury trials to verdict. That level of courtroom experience is rare and it matters. Insurance companies, prosecutors, and defense attorneys know who is willing to go to trial and who is not. Curt is.
His practice areas include:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Slip and fall injuries
- Medical malpractice
- Civil rights litigation
- Estates and probate matters
- Criminal defense
- White collar criminal defense
Curt takes particular pride in his work in Federal Civil Rights cases. He believes the foundation of government is the people, and when the government violates the constitutional rights of its citizens, it must be held accountable. He has fought to hold police officers, prosecutors, municipalities, and government entities responsible when they overstep their authority and cause harm.
If you have been injured, charged, or wronged, Attorney Parkins approaches every case with intensity, preparation, and a willingness to take it to trial when necessary.
