I had Parker as my lawyer for an automobile accident case. Him and his paralegal Michelle and the rest of his team were so kind and so helpful, I couldn't have asked for a better team to fight for me!! Not only did the insurance company not want to meet our reasonable bottom offer but they actually went backwards in their offer to settle. Parker didn't back down and fought to get me our demand. I just want to say thank you all so much for all your hard work!!! I would, and will, reccomend this law firm to any and every one!!!

There is hope the moment the best lawyers in Forsyth stand with you. Lending their faith to help yours stay strong. It doesn’t matter the legal battles you will be facing. You know you’re never alone when Banks, Stubbs and McFarland pray and fight for you.
After my motorcycle accident last year I was left both physically, financially, emotionally and spiritually broken in ways I have never experienced in my life. I laid in the emergency bed just after returning from literal death itself. I called upon God to help me; not to just get through all the tribulations I was facing. Instead to help guide me and show me the way. That’s when I knew I needed someone who understood both the legal and faith situation I was now facing. Only one person I knew who could stand with me as both my shield and sword. That was Parker McFarland. Unfortunately my case was not looking very good. The insurance providers unwilling to help and hundreds of thousands in debt without an income became very difficult to deal with. Parker and his team never let me give up, neither did they. Even after a year of struggling to make ends meet, without hope that I could even pay my regular bills much less the mounting debt. Parker never stopped being that sword and shield. The prayers Parker spoke over the phone every time I called fueled my belief that this was in gods hands. We both prayed together for my body and soul. God was using Parker’s hands to save me in more ways than one. That’s when Parker and his team did the unimaginable. They not only help me get my bills paid, these amazing people gave me back my faith. My case is unique but so is yours. If you need that faith to keep going, you’ll find it with these angels who carry legal pads. Thank you Parker and your team for everything you have done for me. I’ll keep praying because I know you will too.
Sincerely,
Steven D. Bell

Wow! Thank you Steven for your kind words. It was such an honor to stand with you during your dark and difficult season. I am thankful for the case outcome and what this experience has done in your life. May God continue to bless you and your journey with Him.
From the moment I met Philip Pilgrim, he gave me such good energy & energy never lies. He is truly the BEST lawyer anyone can have by their side, I truly cannot express my gratitude enough in words for what he did for me & how he represents his clients!! He literally did the impossible for my case & I will be recommending him to everyone that needs a lawyer!! He cares about his clients as people , even the little things like making sure I get to graduate nursing school with nothing that will affect it, this is something I will never forget!!

Amy Carter is absolutely the best lawyer money can buy!!
If you're looking for the best of the best, hire AMY CARTER!!! She not only fought hard to win, she became a friend of the family. Always checking on our well being and ensuring we understood everything clearly every step of the way! She took the time to listen to and answer our questions and concerns, but was very HONEST and TRANSPARENT.
In the court room, she was an absolute bulldog!!
Thank you Amy for all you done for our family! We will always be grateful for you and may God continue to bless you and your family.

Having Parker McFarland represent me was one of the best decisions I made during one of the worst moments of my life.
Nobody tells you how hard it is to go through the process of a serious car accident with a semi truck, that you did nothing to cause and I can’t imagine going through what I went through without someone to represent and support me.
From the first time I met with Parker, he showed genuine interest in my wellbeing. He always prayed, listened and asked questions to fully understand me and my concerns. It was the type of help I didn’t know I needed.
Parker and his paralegal Michelle always made time to speak with me and give me updates; always making me feel valued as a client.
I’m forever thankful for having someone to advocate for me in such a vulnerable situation, allowing me to focus on my healing. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of great legal representation.

I found Banks, Stubbs & McFarland through my chiropractor after a bad car accident. Mr. McFarland walked me through every step of the process and explained things thoroughly throughout the case. He was absolutely amazing and helped me in more ways than I can count. I will forever be grateful for this firm and all that they’ve done!

My husband (Juan) and I had a great experience working with Mr. Phil Pilgrim. He was professional, attentive, and always kept us informed throughout the entire process. I appreciated how clearly everything was explained and how responsive him and Ms Kelli were to all my questions. Navigating a legal situation is stressful, but having him on our case made a huge difference. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr Phil Pilgrim to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney!!

I am sure that my decision to hire Mr Stidham was the most important one that I have made. I'm also sure that no one would have worked harder to win my case. Which he did for the last three and one half years. Great communication,very personal and professional, and this guy is smart. The judge was openly impressed. If you really need a lawyer, you should talk to Mr Stidham.

Amy Carter and her team handled my divorce with compassion. It is a very difficult circumstance to navigate and she helped me through a stressful time. She listened to my concerns and made me feel comfortable. She respectfully represented my needs in order to reach a successful settlement. I highly recommend her!
