I can't thank Yesenia and the team at Parker Waichman for helping me with my case. I was treated with the most professional help and respect. I can't thank them enough for handling everything without ease and always keeping me updated on my case. This was my first case dealing with lawyers and Yesenia guided me and was very knowledgable. Thank you again to her and everyone at Parker Waichman!
