Julia Parranto (and Stacy Royer) are wonderful

Julia and her support staff, specifically Stacy, were amazing, communicative, realistic, organized and competent advocates. I highly recommend them to anyone involved in an MVA.

Excellent and Honest

Julia Parranto , is professional but kind, she took my case after a insurance company said they would not pay my medical bills. They felt if damaged is under 1000 that you can't be hurt. Which believe me is not true when somebody slams into the back of you. after a year and a half we met with other i...nsurance company. Because of her knowledge and the way she presented my case. They paid all my medical Bills. I can't thank her enough. I would also like to thank her assistant Stacy. Thank You again!!! I highly recommend Parranto very honest woman which now days is rare

Excellent PI Attorney.

Ms. Parranto was recommended to me by my bankruptcy attorney after my involvement in a motorcycle collision. Her accomplishments iny case include the following: 1. She obtained the policy limit payouts for me despite the fact that the other car did not hit me or I it. Violating my right-of-way I s...till avoided impact with his vehicle but struck the ground hard leading to significant injury and a 9 day hospitalization. 2. My covered medical bills were in excess of $100,000. My employer group provider could make claim on the other party insured payout to me up to their out of pocket charges. Ms. Parranto was confident she could at a minimum keep that to no more then 1/3 of my recovery which paid out 5 months after the accident. 8 1/2 months later she released me another 8% of the recovery after concluding negotiations with my health insurer. Ms. Parranto was also a great resource in teaching me about prudent insurance strategies. Ms. Parranto has my unreserved endorsement if you need a PI attorney. Her representation of me was professional. She delivered all she said she would and more. She does not over promise.

Outstanding

Julia Parranto was my lifeline. Before finding Julia I spoke with attorneys who were actually rude or just very abrupt with me and the questions my family and I had. Julia and her staff were very patient and kind, and so reassuring during a time when my entire life had been turned upside down. Whi...le I have worked in the legal field for more than 30 years, I have no experience, personally or professionally, in personal injury cases, and felt completely lost and scared. Once I knew Julia was taking care of me legally I was able to concentrate on my recovery, which made all the difference in my healing. She was so knowledgeable, experienced and professional, she achieved better results than I could have imagined. I would absolutely recommend Julia Parranto to everyone!

Very happy with Julia Parranto

I was involved in a minor car accident and injured. The at fault driver’s insurance company refused to pay my injury claim, so I went looking for a lawyer to help me pay my medical bills. One attorney vaguely said that my case was not big enough and/or too difficult to prove. Others did not return... my calls. Not so with Parranto Law. Julia was happy to meet with me, and did so in a very timely manner. Her office was very welcoming and Julia put me at ease straight away with her humorous, but very professional manner. I found Julia to be direct, intelligent, compassionate, and a good listener. I knew that I had found the right lawyer for me. Even though my lawsuit was relatively small, the whole time I worked with Julia, or any of her staff for that matter, I was treated like an important client with the highest priority. I felt that my little case was really cared about, and that’s a great feeling when you have been abandoned by a big insurance company. I was prepared by Julia and her staff for all phases of the process and Julia was totally on the ball during my deposition. I felt very confident that Julia would be representing me in court, when the time came. It was however, most fortunate that we ended up not having to go to court because Julia negotiated a pre-trial settlement (checking in with me every step of the way), to my complete satisfaction prior to the court date! The service I received from Julia was excellent. I always knew what was going on with my case, e-mails or calls were always promptly responded to, and her assistant was most helpful. My heartfelt thanks to Julia and her team! I feel that she is an honest and good person and have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for a personal injury lawyer.

"I've known Julia as a professional colleague for many years. As a volunteer settlement conference panelist for the courts, I saw her as a litigator, vigorously representing her clients against the insurance companies. Julia is not afraid to take a case to trial, and the insurance companies know it! I refer all of my clients who are injured to Julia for personal injury work. She works hard for her clients and won't back down to insurance strong-arm tactics. Julia is a fighter who also has the wisdom and experience to advise her clients on when and whether they should settle. With Julia, her clients interests ALWAYS come first. I recommend Julia wholeheartedly!! MaryClare Lawrence Estate Planning Attorney"
