A National Law Firm that Calls Long Island Home

Parker Waichman Firm

Parker Waichman LLP is a national law firm based in Port Washington, on New York’s Long Island. Its founders are two attorneys, Jerrold S. Parker and Herbert L. Waichman, who built successful careers championing the rights of those harmed by the misconduct of others. In doing so, the two have not only helped their clients, but in some cases, even paved the way for some of the most important litigations in modern times. Their landmark AIDS case in 1984, for instance, proved for the first time in U.S. court that AIDS is transmittable via a blood transfusion. Throughout the years, the two have fought in numerous mass tort cases, medical malpractice cases, wrongful death cases and asbestos cases, and have played an extremely dynamic role fighting for the legal rights of 9/11 first responders. With roots in Long Island and over two decades of experience in the legal field, Parker Waichman LLP has worked to earn your trust, and dedicates itself to continuing to help the people of Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
