Entertainment lawyer Phaedra Parks is one of the newest cast members of Bravo's hit reality show 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' season three. You don't know about her yet? She's the outspoken, tough celebrity attorney power-house that's slated to give Nene Leakes a run for her money. And since the rumor mill is already spiraling out of control with various reports by Pagesix, and RadarOnline.com.
Phaedra decided to speak with LaShonda Matlock of Chicagonow.com and state that she's more than just a pretty face and reality star.
LaShonda: First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to talk with me today. I know you have clients in and out of court so I'll try to be short.
Phaedra: My pleasure, thank you for the opportunity.
LaShonda: Many people don't know that you are a very prominent entertainment lawyer who has represented several A-list celebrities and are currently the managing partner of The Parks Group. How do people not know this?
Phaedra: Well, when I'm working in the service of my clients it's not my role to eclipse their presence but rather to advocate on their behalf and support them. People not knowing me is not an issue, the great things that my clients do and their achievements is the best reflection of me and my practice.
LaShonda: Your resume is very long (classic overachiever). From Georgia's Rising Stars Super Lawyers, NBC, Fox News, Court TV, Rolling Out Magazine, Jet Magazine and so on.... What else is there for you to achieve in your career?
Phaedra: My focus has not been about collecting accolades but about giving back and making a difference. I always pursue things that interest me and thank God, I've been presented with some great opportunities that have been very exciting and rewarding. You know what we look like on paper is not always who we really are. I'm sort of laughing out loud about your question because I never see myself as this "overachiever". I just see myself as a hard worker.
