I have been very happy with Parker Waichman's help with my 9/11 claim. I called after seeing a commercial and the law firm sent an investigator to my home to help me sign up, it was very easy. My paralegal Christina Morace always called me to keep me updated and checked on me throughout the whole waiting process for my compensation. I am very happy with all of her help and I would definitely recommend this law firm to my friends and family. Thank you Christina and Parker Waichman!
