Roy Park

Managing Partner

Roy J. Park is an entrepreneur in addition to being an expert Workers’ Compensation attorney. Roy aligns his thinking and his firm’s processes to the long term goals of his clients, rather than focusing on immediate gains to his firm.

Roy’s business oriented approach to his practice is a result of his years of entrepreneurial work prior to becoming an attorney. Even as a child, Roy was a natural entrepreneur. Once he started receiving an allowance, he quickly learned he could triple his money by buying candy at the grocery store and reselling it at three times the price on the playground. Throughout his educational years he worked in a wide variety of small business jobs, doing everything from cleaning pools to repairing televisions.
