About Charles J.
Charles J. Parrish is an attorney who practices personal injury law in Tennessee. He built his academic foundation at Cumberland University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts. He continued his legal education at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, receiving his Juris Doctor before entering practice.
Parrish began his work at Hughes & Coleman Injury Lawyers in 2021. Since joining the firm he has handled a range of matters on behalf of people injured in accidents. His role involves investigating claims, preparing pleadings, negotiating with insurers, and representing clients in court when necessary. He has worked on both pretrial settlement efforts and contested litigations.
Admitted to practice in Tennessee, Parrish operates within the state’s civil litigation framework. He spends much of his time managing case files, consulting with experts, and guiding clients through procedural steps. His daily practice requires translating medical records and accident reports into legal strategies that aim to address both immediate needs and longer-term recovery concerns.
Colleagues describe Parrish as concise and pragmatic in how he approaches cases. He focuses on the facts of each file and on clear communication with clients. That approach shapes how he evaluates potential claims and how he prepares evidence for mediation or trial.
Hughes & Coleman Injury Lawyers maintains multiple offices across Tennessee. Parrish practices from the firm’s locations and participates in the collaborative work common at a multi-office plaintiffs’ firm. He takes on client consultations, drafts motions, and coordinates discovery tasks with other attorneys and staff.
Alongside casework, Parrish keeps current with developments in Tennessee’s civil law through continuing legal education and firm training. He belongs to professional associations that support networking and ongoing learning, and he maintains the licensure necessary to practice in state courts.
People who come to Parrish for help are most often seeking recovery after vehicle collisions, slips and falls, or workplace incidents. He handles the legal steps that follow an injury: demand preparation, settlement negotiations, and, when required, courtroom representation. He currently practices personal injury law at Hughes & Coleman Injury Lawyers.
