About

Mr. Parini represented many of the nation's leading insurance companies in the areas of workers' compensation, automobile and home owners insurance and medical malpractice. The experience he received while representing the insurance companies provides him with the invaluable experience necessary to understand how insurance companies operate and how they will defend a claim. This has proven invaluable in his current practice - representing individuals and families in bringing claims for compensation resulting from work injuries, automobile accidents, unemployment compensation, Social Security Disability and other claims..After seven years of practice in the greater Washington, D.C. area, Attorney Parini began practicing in Erie, Pennsylvania where he continues to focus his practice on helping victims navigate the legal process.

Attorney Parini impressed me as soon as I met him.I knew right off the bat that this attorney was the person I wanted to represent me.His very intimidating posture, led me to believe he could handle anything that would come his way. The man is a winner.

Mr. Parini has been a consummate professional. He represented us in an unusual case, but provided clear and effective advice. His strategy worked out very well and we were offered a fair settlement very quickly.

Attorney Parini was able to give me a free consultation on rather short notice regarding my unemployment compensation case. He was extremely helpful and with his help I was able to win my case.

Matt was awesome!!! He handled everything so I didn't have to worry and could just focus on my recovery and get back to work. He was always available and quick to return my phone calls and emails with the answers I needed. My case was handled quickly and with no added stress to me or my family. I would recommend Matt to anyone in need of assistance after a motor vehicle accident.
