Attorney Matthew J. Parker

is a principal of Marshall, Parker & Associates. A native of New England, Attorney Parker attended the University of Pittsburgh where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS in English. He then attended Penn State Dickinson School of Law where he received his law degree. Before joining the law firm of Marshall, Parker & Associates, Attorney Parker worked as a Judicial Law Clerk for the Presiding Judge Harold A. Thompson of the Pike County Court of Common Pleas and as a general practice attorney in Stroudsburg, PA.

Working in a general practice firm, Attorney Parker quickly realized he wanted to concentrate his practice on elder law and estate planning. He joined Marshall, Parker & Associates in 2000 so he could narrow his focus with the boutique firm. Attorney Parker is one of Pennsylvania’s elite Certified Elder Law Attorneys (CELA). This distinction is held be less than 50 attorneys in the state. The CELA designation has been recognized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and is only awarded to individuals who have demonstrated extensive experience in practicing estate planning and elder law, passed a day-long exam, and received recommendations from other attorneys who specialize in the field.

Attorney Parker has also gained national acclaim when he won a landmark decision in the Federal Court case, James v. Richman. The case established specialized Medicaid annuities as a means of protecting the financial resources of married couples when one spouse needs nursing home care.

Attorney Parker resides in Loyalsock, Lycoming County with his basset hound, Annabel.
