Morgan and Morgan is pleased to announce that it will provide pro bono legal services to the family of Michelle Parker, a missing Florida mom who was last seen on Nov. 17 after dropping off her three-year-old twins at her ex-fiancé’s home. The firm will also work with the family to establish a trust to fund the rescue efforts to find Parker, as well as provide for her children.
In a Nov. 30 emergency custody hearing, a Florida judge ruled in favor of Parker’s ex-fiancé, Dale Smith, who remains the prime suspect in her disappearance. The judge ordered that, pending any developments in Parker’s disappearance, the twins return full time to the custody of Smith, who the Florida Department of Children and Families called a “significant future risk” to the children. The family has since hired Matt Morgan, an attorney in Morgan and Morgan’s Orlando office, to guide them through the legal process in the wake of Parker’s disappearance.
Parker vanished on Nov. 17, hours after her and Smith’s “The People Court” episode aired on television. In the segment, the pair disputed over a $5000 engagement ring, which was lost after Parker threw it at Smith during an argument; the judge ruled that the couple should split the cost of the ring. Shortly after the episode aired, Parker disappeared, believed to be last seen by Smith after she left her children with him.
As the search continues for the missing Florida mom, Morgan and Morgan remains committed to helping with the rescue efforts, as well as serving as representatives for her family. Dedicated to helping the
personally injured, Morgan and Morgan has built its reputation representing the people, not the powerful. For more information on the law firm, please visit
