Bob Parsley

A Strategic and Brilliant Advocate in the Appellate Arena

When our company faced a devastating trial court loss on a critical contract interpretation issue, the stakes couldn't have been higher. We needed an appellate attorney who could not only grasp the complex nuances of Tennessee law but also craft a persuasive narrative for the judges. Bob Parsley of Bradley Arant was that attorney. From our first consultation in his Nashville office, his command of appellate procedure and strategy was evident. He didn't just re-argue the trial points; he completely reframed the issue, identifying a subtle procedural error and a compelling public policy angle we had overlooked. His background, including his recognition in appellate practice, is clearly well-earned. Bob and his team, including Brad, worked meticulously on the briefs—every citation was precise, every argument tightly constructed. His oral argument before the Court of Appeals was masterful; he was poised, answered challenging questions directly, and guided the court to our perspective. The result was a complete reversal of the lower court's decision, preserving millions for our business. Beyond his exceptional legal acumen, Bob is a consummate professional—responsive, clear in his communication, and genuinely invested in our success. He transforms the often-daunting appellate process into a structured, strategic pathway. I cannot recommend Bob Parsley highly enough for any business or individual navigating the complexities of an appeal in Tennessee.
