My sister and I pursued a case when our mother was seriously injured in a Nursing Home. We were referred by Alison and our paralegal was Michelle Pabon. We were treated with professionalism and kindness throughout the whole process. We were extremely happy with the results for our mother's pain and suffering. Thank you to Alison, Michelle Pabon and the staff at Parker Waichman.
