I am glad I chose Parker and Waichman to represent me and couldn't be happier to work with Julie and Maryann. They have been extremely helpful in assisting me and helping me throughout the whole process. They have made this uncomfortable situation feel very comfortable from day one and have been calling me with updates and checking up on me to see how I have been doing. Great Job and THANK YOU to them both.
