"I appreciate you defending my rights and my heritage. I am so thankful for your service and professionalism."
There are some things that the law school does not teach, but you manage to possess those skills. Thank you so much for everything you did for me.
I was in an accident in 2020 where the driver hit me from behind and left the scene. I contacted the law office of Wilson & Parlett to handle my case. Mr. Parlett, Adam Perrelli, Scott Sanford and the paralegals kept me informed throughout the process. I never had to call to ask for an update. They contacted me via phone to inform me of steps taken, gave me options, and advised me on what they thought was the best option. At the end of my case, I was pleased with their professionalism and caring. I would highly recommend Wilson & Parlett to family and friends.

"I know I chose the best team to handle my claim and I am satisfied with the outcome."I met with attorney Scott Sanford and Kimberly in the Upper Marlboro office regarding my disability claim. Mr. Sanford helped me file my appeal, gave me information about the process, and answered all my many many questions. He was very smart, honest and straightforward- which are great qualities to find in an attorney. He had me contact Kimberly with any questions or paperwork I needed to send in. She was knowledgeable, stayed on top of my claim, and so very helpful. They called if they received something that needed my attention. I continued to receive notices from Wilson and Parlett letting me know they were still actively working on my case. I was told going to court usually occurs and what the process would be. That would have taken my case a lot longer to settle, bc of how backed up S.S. is but happens a lot. I received an approval letter within 6-8 months and didn't have to go to court. This office is very skilled in handling this type of case. I know I chose the best team to handle my claim and I am satisfied with the outcome. I am definitely recommending them to my friends or anyone else applying for disability!!- Olivia

"I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing personal injury legal representation."I was in a serious auto accident in 2010 in Southern Maryland. I chose Wilson and Parlett because I knew Tim Parlett's brother through business and community work and knew that theirs' was a long standing Southern Maryland family. I was extremely pleased with their services throughout the entire process. The first portion of the settlement was concluded in a very timely manner which allowed for all of my medical bills to be paid. The second portion of the settlement took more time, as is typical. But Tim Parlett negotiated smartly, using time and tactics to our advantage. The amount I was awarded for this final portion was much more than I expected and more than the firm really expected as well! They knew the extent of my injuries and the probable likelihood of problems later in life and negotiated effectively from that perspective. In most cases, I spoke with Tim Parlett directly, rather than a paralegal or staff person. He was down to earth, honest and sympathetic to me as things changed in my life throughout the process. Documents were clear and detailed. Their responses to any requests I made were always handled in a very timely manner. I was totally confident that they were representing my best interests. I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing personal injury legal representation.- Janet
