Bertrand Russell Parnall

More than a career, it’s a calling: My commitment to law is a legacy passed down through a family devoted to public service, especially in New Mexico. My father, who worked tirelessly as Dean of the University of New Mexico School of Law and now serves as an emeritus law professor, also traveled extensively to advance the rule of law globally. His profound dedication to helping others inspired my path in law, motivating me to champion the rights and welfare of my community.

Due to his far-reaching career, I experienced an upbringing like no other. From Ethiopia to Egypt and Tunisia, these journeys instilled a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and justice for all. This rich tapestry of experiences, from studying at La Sorbonne in Paris to exploring Laos, broadened my horizons and solidified my resolve to pursue a career that makes a tangible difference in people’s lives.

I began my legal career as a Senior Trial Prosecutor in Valencia and Sandoval Counties, where I honed my skills by securing convictions in high-stakes jury trials against violent criminals. But my transition to personal injury law in 2004 led me to my mission to serve on a broader scale. In 2009, I established Parnall Law to focus intensely on advocating for victims of negligence, combining in-depth legal acumen with a personal touch.

Since its inception, Parnall Law has grown into a formidable team driven by our foundational values: Teamwork, Talent, Truth, Tenacity, and Triumph. These values don’t just guide us — they define us. They ensure that every client we represent is treated with dignity and receives uncompromising support as we strive to secure the justice and compensation they deserve.

Our firm has achieved significant milestones, securing over $350 million for our clients and growing to include 110 dedicated team members, including 15 accomplished attorneys. Our success in the courtroom is matched by our commitment to the community, supporting vital local initiatives from Make-A-Wish to Meals on Wheels.

Outside the courtroom, I cherish my time with my wife, Marta Strzyzewski, Miss New Mexico 2001. Together, we’ve built a loving home in Albuquerque, raising our four children and two dogs. This personal joy fuels my professional drive, offering a new opportunity to positively impact lives daily.
