“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. ”
Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness, Quality, Value
If I could give the staff & lawyers here at Fine, Farkash, & Parlapiano 10/10 stars, I most definitely would! From day 1, they’ve been a tremendous help to me during a difficult time. I have to give a major shoutout to Mrs. Gabrielle Jenkins, who did a PHENOMENAL job handling my case!! Mrs. Jenkins provide customer service & support that exceeded my expectations. She went above and beyond in her communications with he regarding my case. Mrs. Jenkins updated me in a timely manner, worked around my sleep & work schedule, & was always available when I needed to reach her with concerns about my case. Mrs. Jenkins & Mr. Fine did everything they could to ensure I received the best care & settlement possible. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a lawyer after a car accident!!
