Jo-Anne and the team at Parker Waichman is the absolute best. After being rear ended in May I have been contacted on a constant basis, I have been checked up on by them and the rest of the team more than my actual family. They are great listeners and are available. Calling the office is a breeze and never a long wait. I would recommend anyone to them especially based on my experience with them.
