Bio
As a child, Alex Parish knew that a career helping others was in her future. Each day, she watched her mother, a teacher, help students and parents and her father help business patrons by offering excellent customer service. Alex’s love for writing and public speaking led her to law school, which provided the perfect platform to continue her parent’s legacy. As an attorney, Alex welcomes the challenge of helping clients in need.
Alex joined Huie in December 2018 after previously working as an associate at a defense litigation firm. Now at Huie, she focuses her practice in the areas of nursing home litigation, medical malpractice and insurance defense. Alex’s prior professional experience and law school contributions, including serving on the Trial Advocacy Board and the Negotiation Team, will help in researching solutions and securing the best possible outcome for her clients.
In her free time, Alex enjoys cooking, traveling and spending quality time with friends and family.
Alex earned her BS from the University of Florida and her JD from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University.
