Parker Waichman handled a slip and fall case for my husband - which was handled with the utmost professionalism. Speaking with the paralegal assigned to the case, Lynda Luckman, was an absolute pleasure. She was helpful from the inception of his case, up until receiving closing papers. She always knew exactly what the status of the case was and was always there to answer any and all questions we had. Her patience and kindness was exemplary. Brett Zekowski, the attorney on the case, was very attentive to our requests and delivered a result that we were very pleased with. We will certainly recommend Parker Waichman to anyone in need of legal assistance!
