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.

Review of Julia Parranto

Julia handled my case with the utmost professionalism and in a timely manner. She explained all details of the case thoroughly and kept me apprised of its progress. I found her to be both compassionate and understanding of my ongoing pain and concerns. I would recommend Julia to anyone in need of ...a personal injury attorney.

"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"
