It is still early in the process for me and I have been kept abreast of matters effecting my case by Jillian, my case manager and Cathy, my paralegal. One aspect of the firm that I had not anticipated was the care and concern shown for my well being by Joanne, the nurse. PARKER WAICHMAN LLC is my law firm and I am glad I contacted them to work on my case. Update: Denny Tang, Esq., handled my case with updates to me throughout the process. He appears genuinely caring about his clients and that quality is priceless. Jillian Cantinieri, Legal Secretary, was initially my go to contact at the firm and performed her duties in a stellar manner. She is an exemplary employee and I am very pleased Jill was assigned to my case.
