This is a video of Joyce, a car accident victim, who was involved in a very serious head-on collision, killing her husband and leaving her badly injured. Joyce discusses her experience with Parker Waichman LLP, and how her personal injury lawyer, Jerry Parker supported and protected her throughout the experience. "Competent," "compassionate," "efficient," and "always available," are just a few of the adjectives Joyce uses to describe Jerry Parker. Joyce was so pleased with the outcome, that when she was involved in another car accident a few years later, she called Parker Waichman from her hospital bed.

"Dear Mr. Gerald Parker,
My name is Jon R. Schroeder and I recently used your law firm to represent me as the plaintiff in a case for my Father, Foster E. Schroeder, against John J. Foley Skilled Nursing Facility located in Yaphank, Long Island, New York. I am very glad to be able to say that we won the case with a settlement of $220,000 thanks to your firm and the very hard work and advice of your Lawyer, Justin Varughese. The reason that I am writing you this letter is not only thank you and your firm for helping me win this case, that I started nearly six and a half years ago against John J. Foley for their roll in the very untimely death of my Father, but also to take a very strong mention of just how impressed both my family and I were with Justin Varughese. Justin was an absolute gentleman at all times and he treated all of us with utter respect rite up to the very last second of the trial. He always was willing to go the extra mile to help me in any way he could.
I have to say that I was just astounded and absolutely blown away when Judge Farnetti, the Supreme Court Justice of that trial, went out of his way to take the time at the end of the trial to congratulate Justin for being, in his opinion, one of the top two Attorneys that had ever stood before him in his court in his entire career as a Supreme Court Justice and he had been one for many years.
So, the way I look at it is, I certainly must have done a grand job when I picked Parker Waichman LLP for my law firm and I will only be than more happy to recommend them and tell my story to any one that I hear is in need of a GREAT LAW FIRM for many years to come. I want to thank you once again for the win but also for putting such an astute Lawyer as Justin Varughese in charge of my Case. May God Bless your entire team.

Yours truly a very happy client,
Jon R. Schroeder

This has been a life changing time something that we may have never experienced in our life. I know that you deal with thing like this everyday however I have never imagined it would happen to me.

I know that you are busy and have a lot of other people to take care of and I took up a lot of your time.

If we measure success by the number of lives we touch and the ways we reach out to others to truly make a difference, then it’s hard to imagine a life richer than yours! Please accept my sincere gratitude for caring enough and having the courage to say yes, I’ll try.
N.S.

Thank you for all of your help over this time. You have made a big difference in how I feel about things.

Dear Jerrold, I would like to extend my deepest appreciation for the work accomplished by your staff. All the members of your team with whom I had the pleasure of working, displayed a very high caliber of skills and professionalism… You have obviously recruited a top notch team of players who work very differently on your clients’ behalf. I would also like to take this opportunity to give special recognition to my Parker Waichman LLP trial attorney… Everyone present witnessed him dominate and control the entire proceedings… He brought a questionable product liability suit to an extremely satisfactory cash settlement. Truly the work that he performed and the rapport he established with the judge and jury, changed my life forever.
Gratefully yours, D.A.

Dear Mr. Parker, I appreciate so much everything that you have done on my behalf. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Most sincerely, J.F.

I again “thank you” for the time and effort you and your staff put into finalizing my case… I wish you all continued success in all your present and future cases.
Sincerely, R.M.

Dear Jerry… I wish that there were some way that we could demonstrate our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for my attorney’s efforts… We would like to thank him, through you, for his dogged determination and tireless efforts in obtaining a victorious verdict on our behalf.
Sincerely, R.W.V.W.

Dear Jerry Parker… Once again thank you… for putting one of your most seasoned attorneys, on my case.  He did an excellent job for me… The rating by Martindale Hubbell of your firm was right on the money – excellent/excellent – Thank you so much!
Sincerely, R.J.C.

Thank you for the job well done!
Sincerely, R.V.

May God continue to bless you and your staff always.
P.H.J. and family

I am writing this letter to express how much your services were appreciated. You treated my case with the same importance as you would a high profile, million dollar case – and that in itself, is what sets you apart from the other lawyers. You always returned my calls almost immediately and you were always on top of every aspect of my case. You kept your word, called who you said you would, and settled my case extremely quickly. I have never encountered a lawyer like you… I want you to know that if I EVER encounter anyone who is even thinking about getting a lawyer, you will definitely be recommended. Thank you again for everything. I wish you happiness and success, you definitely deserve it all.
Sincerely, A.C.

Dear Jerry, Andy, and Arnold, 
How do I thank all of you for making the impossible happen. When my family first learned about how...[our daughter’s killer]...got out of prison, we went to several law firms. Most of them told us that the case was “unwinable.” A few said that they would try but would not commit to putting their top lawyers on the case.

Then we found Parker & Waichman. Jerry [Parker], the only way I can describe our first impression of you was that you were a “bulldog.” That you would fight for what you believed in until you won! And that’s exactly what happened. You took on and welcomed the challenge of an “impossible” case. Over a period of more than six years, decision after decision came down in our favor and appeal after appeal by the State was rejected.

When we reached the trial stage, a seasoned litigator took over and was amazing. He explained everything to us, not once, but time and again. He advised us as to the best course to follow and always made us feel that we could come to him with any question (and there were many). I and my family have come to think of you as a friend.

Words are inadequate to express our gratitude. The loss we suffered was an unimaginable tragedy and no amount of money can bring Michelle back. But there is comfort in knowing that she was able to leave something very substantial for her boys. Michelle’s birthday was January 18 – probably the day the State made the decision to offer us a number we could accept. As Laura said to me just this morning – because of all the hard work of the people at Parker & Waichman, Michelle is able to give her children a wonderful gift. I know she is smiling today.
Very sincerely, L. S.

Hi Allan, Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all that you’ve done for us. And for me to follow in my parents footsteps, and give out some money gifts for our kids, just as they have done for us. Have a beautiful Thanksgiving.  
Thanks again, C.K.G.

Dear Allan, my siblings and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your kindness and understanding during the depositions we had to endure trying to let people know how much we loved our mother, and how we watched her suffer. You made a terrible situation bearable knowing we had your support. I want you to know that the money we received certainly helped all of us financially; however it was truly so the court would see how Putnam Ridge treats their patience’s and that maybe know other patience would be treated that way. If enough people would sue that would not happen ever again. We would highly recommend your firm to anyone that might need your services.
Sincerely, C.H., D.E., C.M. and P.V.

I want to thank all of the Lawyers and Paralegals who have worked so hard on the Vioxx Settlement on my behalf.
Again, Thank you. W.R.

Dear Melanie,
We received the Bausch and Lomb settlement and we can’t thank you enough. We immediately paid off our debts. It feels nice to not owe people money… Thanks again – Your firm will be highly recommended to people I know.
J.

Parker Waichman LLP,

Every single one of you are true professionals. Please let us know if you are ever in the Atlanta area – would love to have you for dinner and for you to meet Catherine.
