After suffering pain from a serious injury that occurred during a slip and fall, Parker Waichman gave me Julie Trinidad, which was an effective decision. Ms. Trinidad made my life easier during the stressful time. She provided all answers on a timely manner and did an efficient job with my injury case. Sometimes she provided answers for questions before I could even think of them. She always kept me up to date with all aspects of the case and made sure to see if was in decent condition. I never had to worry because I was in perfect hands and with someone who actually cares about the client (which was me). If anyone I know needs legal advice I would recommend Parker Waichman base off of the great experience and assistance I received from Julie Trinidad. Ms. Trinidad was the best. Merlyn M
