In One Word “Extraordinary!”

In One Word “Extraordinary!” that says it all. Julia Parranto far exceeded my expectation in recovery, protection, knowledge and compassion. Her ability to quickly understand the issues, my needs, and future concerns was evident through the entire process and in the final result.

Julia J. Parranto Law Offices is a firm you can trust and depend upon. Julia is the consumate professional and put me at ease with the world of legal proceedings. She made me comfortable and I knew from the beginning that I could rely on her expertise to advocate for my interests. Her experience was ...evident from the start to the finish of my case and I highly recommend her.

Julia Parranto is an extremely competent attorney

As a court reporter since 1980, I have worked with many attorneys in deposition and in court. I really enjoy my job more when I can work with someone who knows the law thoroughly and does the research necessary to persuade the judge/jury of the legal sufficiency of her argument, and who is respectfu...l of opposing counsel and the other parties to the case while advocating for her own client. It is a pleasure to report the record of the proceedings when the attorney is someone who speaks clearly and convincingly to both the judge and the jury in a manner that makes everything she believes and argues easily understood by everyone in the courtroom. As a court reporter and someone who respects and values the letter of the law, it is a good day when I can work with someone who is well-organized and understands the way the law works, who responds to each opposing argument reasonably and dispassionately. Julia Parranto has been such an attorney, and I have always been glad to see her enter the courtroom, knowing that she will present her case in a way that will make any client, litigant or staff in a courtroom proud to be associated with her. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Julia is fortunately also endowed with a good sense of humor, allowing her to diffuse a tense situation, but then just as able to go straight back to the point to drive home her argument in favor of her client's case. She was competent in every civl case that she presented in our courtroom.

Bad News...Good News

The bad news...I was in a auto accident. The good news...Julia Parranto was my attorney! Ms. Parranto came with the highest recommendations from professionals whom I trust for her professionalism, sincere care and concern for my health and emotional well being, and the talent and determination to win.... I was not only awarded the policy limit from the "crasher", but an unexpected, additional sum from my under-insured motorist policy. Ms. Parranto and her very capable office manager, Stacy were immediately assessable, informative, and determined to take the stress off my whip-lashed shoulders. "Your job here is to heal, I'll take care of the rest" was said at our first interview and reiterated throughout the process. My confidence and trust in the Parranto Law Office allowed me let go and get well. The generous out-of-court settlements made me feel even better! I recommend the Parranto team to anyone in need of a top attorney. She turned my misfortune into the best case possible.

"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"
