Greg Parent is a senior neutral at Miles who has mediated thousands of cases, including automobile/trucking, medical malpractice, nursing home, premises liability, and wrongful death, among others.

As a mediator for the past 14 years, Greg brings a sincere and genuine intellectual curiosity aimed at listening, learning, and understanding with compassion and empathy. He prepares exhaustively for every mediation by devouring any materials provided to him in advance or meeting with the attorneys to discuss nuanced matters of first impression, including potential hurdles due to clashing personalities. He is known for being relentless and indefatigable with respect to the effort he puts into to each mediation; he’s worked 12-hour days for three days straight to reach an agreement and has helped settle cases 18 months after the initial mediation halted due to an impasse.

Greg’s mission in every mediation is to be useful to the parties, and he is one of the most sought-after neutrals in Georgia. Unrivaled because of his comprehensive experience as a claims adjuster, defense attorney, and plaintiff’s attorney, Greg has parlayed his extensive claims and litigation background into a very successful, award-winning career as a mediator and arbitrator. Greg’s unique and uncanny ability to connect with people from all walks of life helps him resolve matters when there are difficult clients or clashing egos between attorneys involved in the litigation.

  • Business litigation: contract disputes, professional business dissolution, HOA covenant enforcement
  • Class actions
  • Construction defect
  • Medical malpractice
  • Motor carrier, common carrier, and automobile accidents
  • Municipal and county liability
