Jon Parrish, Former Attorney<\/a>, served as President and managing partner of a high-end, mid-sized specialty law firm for over 20 years before he retired from asset protection and complex litigation law. Since that time, he has enjoyed success as a partner in a large construction company performing high-end restoration and construction for major hotel chains, high rises and other large coastal properties.<\/p>\n
