CHRISTOPHER P. PARKS

Originally from Clio, MI, Chris is a passionate attorney with a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate the complexities of the legal system. After witnessing the challenges his mother faced during a divorce without legal representation, he decided to pursue a career as an attorney to ensure others wouldn't face similar struggles. He was admitted to the Michigan Bar in 2020 and brings a compassionate approach to every case.

As a graduate of Clio High School, Central Michigan University, and Cooley Law School, Chris specializes in criminal law, estate planning, and family law. He has valuable experience from his prior role as an Assistant Prosecutor in Clinton County, where he served for two years, prior to that he had a private practice in both Genesee and Livingston Counties. Known for his dedication to his clients, Chris goes above and beyond to ensure they are satisfied with the legal services he provides, always prioritizing their well-being and needs throughout the process.

Outside of his practice, Chris recently moved up north to Alpena with his girlfriend of three years, their 6-month-old Corgi “Wayne,” and their 1.5-year-old cat “Griffin.” Sadly, his 6-year-
old Chihuahua/Mini Australian Shepherd “Gordy” recently passed away. As an avid animal lover, he is also a staunch advocate for animal rights and works to make a positive impact on behalf of animals.

When not practicing law, Chris enjoys various outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, and camping, as well as following his favorite sports teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers and Red Wings. Chris is excited to become an active member of the Alpena community and contribute to its growth.
