When a person or family is involved in a life changing accident, the main concern becomes who will represent me legally. For me, it was Alex Tovstolug, Kathleen Snedecor and Karen Wienclaw of PW. Being moments away from death, blood transfusions to survive, stitches and then restitching forces me to never forget an accident that subjects me to life long nerve damage and pain. A benefit I've gained to appreciate is not only a power house legal team, but the frequent check ups from nurse Joanne Stevens which calms me and reassures me that PW was the right choice. Thank you!

My experience with Parker Waichman has been a positive one for the most part. Having dealt with many individuals in almost 3 years, I have to say they have all been helpful. The only thing I would like done more proficiently is the communication and follow-up. I know they are a very busy firm but it would be nice if they got back to you sooner. Thank you Josephine Zephrine for returning my calls .
