Phaedra Parks is an attorney and reality television star with a net worth of approximately $2 million. She’s famous for being one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, and she’s also someone who has done well for herself in the world of business. As an entertainment lawyer, she works with many other famous people and has made quite the name for herself. She’s currently enduring some personal issues with her husband, who she actually met after defending him in a criminal trial. Now he’s back in jail and she’s trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life.
Despite her role on a show such as the Real Housewives, Phaedra is an intelligent woman. She’s been in the world of law for many years, graduating from the University of Georgia with her degree in law in 1998, and she’s been working with a very high profile firm ever since. Some of the celebrities she represents include not only her husband, Apollo Nida, but also Ludacris, Michael Jackson and even Bobby Brown. Parks has earned many prestigious awards, including the Attorney of Distinction award as well as Attorney of the Year in 2006. She’s been widely touted as being a ballbuster in the courtroom, and she’s very good at her job.
She’s sat on the Board at the UGA law school and she once served as the President of a Bar Association. Additionally, she’s also spent time serving as a legal analysis for several major news networks. Her annual salary is said to be approximately $300,000, and she’s earning a bit more from her role on the housewives franchise. It did take people by surprise when she made the decision to appear on the show, considering so many of the women who star here are considered silly and flighty. She is neither, but that does not mean she is not willing to get right into the middle of all the drama and the issues between the women with whom she stars.
Phaedra Parks and her husband have two children together; little boys born in 2010 and 2013. At the moment, her husband is currently serving as many as 20 years for several different broken laws. There is speculation that she has filed for divorce from him, as it doesn’t sit well with many that she was married to a former criminal she represented in the first place. Now that his crimes have gone far and above what they were in the past, she seems to be done with him, though no one can confirm whether or not this is the truth. Her career with Parks Group PC has her listed as a managing partner, which is why her annual income is higher than that of many other attorneys in the same position. She has continued to practice law despite her husband’s legal issues and her reality television career, and she continues to provide a good role model through herself and her work for her boys. It can be said that she’s handling her current situation with class.
