Biography

Hon. E. Gerald Parker, Jr. is a judge for the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas (General Division) in Ohio. He was elected to the bench in November 2018, becoming the first African-American male judge in the General Division of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas.


During his time on the bench, Parker has served as a member of the court’s Offender Supervision and Security Committee.


He received a B.A. in English and business administration from Georgetown College in 2004. Parker went on to complete a J.D. at Northern Kentucky University, Salmon P. Chase College of Law in 2007.


After graduating from law school, he began his legal career with the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office, working as an assistant prosecuting attorney for four years. During that time, he was elevated to the Criminal Docket and spent a large portion of his time prosecuting felonies in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court. Parker remained there until 2011.


It was at that time, he left the public arena to join the litigation department of Dyer, Garofalo, Mann & Schultz LPA in Dayton. At the firm, Parker specialized in personal injury, workers’ compensation, and criminal defense matters.


Then, in 2016, he was appointed a magistrate of the Montgomery County Juvenile Court, where he presided over juvenile delinquency cases including felonies, misdemeanors, traffic and status offenses. In addition, Parker heard child custody cases involving abused, neglected, or dependent children. He remained in that capacity until his election to the bench.


Parker held memberships with the Dayton Bar Association, the Ohio State Bar Association, and the Ohio Common Pleas Judges Association.


He has served as a member of the MonDay Community Correctional Institution Advisory Board and was a board member for Building Bridges, Inc., the Dayton Mediation Council, and the Salvation Army.


Parker was awarded the District 2 Community Service Award for Attorneys 40 and Under by the Ohio State Bar Foundation in 2020. He was also named one of Dayton’s Top Ten African American Males by Parity, Inc. (2018) and received the WHIO Channel 7 Making a Difference Award.
