COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
As residents of the community we serve, our attorneys believe it is imperative to “give back” to the community in every way possible. We believe that any improvement and assistance to the community, either directly or indirectly, also provides assistance to the lives and businesses of our clients as well. We believe that involvement in our community is a “responsibility”, as we truly believe in the saying: “To whom much is given, much is expected”.
As a whole, our firm is a Silver Partner of the Wayne County Area Chamber of Commerce, making an annual commitment for the betterment of Wayne County’s businesses and citizens. The firm also contributes annually to a number of local organizations in an attempt to assist others in need.
