I’m really satisfied with my experience dealing with Parker and Waichman and especially my attorney, Mathew Hinrichs, along with the support staff (Jacqueline & Theresa). My attorney is very professional and thorough but very approachable. He always returns calls/emails even in the early evening if necessary. His support staff of Paralegals are professional and thorough as well. This law firm gets things done! My confidence in Parker Waichman is very high, and I have been recommending this law firm to others here in Milwaukee by word of mouth. This recommendation will continue.
