“As much as I loved playing music, I quickly realized that it was not what I wanted to do as my profession. I love problem solving, putting myself in someone else’s position and trying to fix that problem. I grew up the daughter of two lawyers—and the niece, cousin, and granddaughter of judges—so discussing issues, taking a position and using logical reasoning was just…dinner talk. I love fixing problems and that is what being a lawyer is all about.”

Three years ago my families lives were changed dramatically after my husband was involved in a motor vehicle accident. Having no idea what to do or how to proceed we turned to Cherie Fine for help and guidance. It was the best decision we ever made. From day one she made us feel comfortable and confident with the process and explained the journey that was now ahead of us. We had our case come to a favorable conclusion and are so grateful for all the support and help we received from the staff at Fine Farkash and Parlapiano. Everyone was always willing to answer all our questions and always fought for what was best for us. They aren’t just there to make money but want to make sure you get the medical care you need. We are so glad we had them to help guide us through this terrible ordeal. Hopefully, we never have to go through something like this again, but if we do we will definitely be turning to Cherie Fine for help.
