A great lawyer, a great leader, and—fortunately for all of us—a pretty great guy.

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to Gregory S. Cusimano 🥳⚖️

Here’s to another year of good health, good laughs, good people, and plenty of reasons to celebrate. As Greg so wisely put it while blowing out his birthday candle: “Third time’s the charm.”

We hope this year is your best one yet. Happy Birthday!

Sometimes the smallest details tell the biggest story.

After an injury, it’s easy to focus on the obvious things: medical treatment, missed work, insurance calls, repairs.

But sometimes the smaller details matter, too.

📸 A photo
🧾 A receipt
📝 A note
✉️ A letter

You may not know which details will matter later. That’s why it’s worth keeping track while the information is fresh.

Preserving the details isn’t about assuming the worst. It’s about giving yourself the clearest picture of what happened and what may come next.

Know your rights. Ask questions. Keep the details.

After an injury, it's natural to focus on the biggest concerns—your health, your family, and getting life back on track.

But over the years, we've learned that it's often the smaller details that help complete the picture.

A photograph taken at the scene.

A receipt for a prescription.

A letter from an insurance company.

A few notes about how you're feeling each day.

None of those things may seem especially important on their own. Together, they can help preserve your memory, document your recovery, and keep you organized as questions arise.

This week, we'll take a closer look at why these everyday records matter—and which ones are worth keeping after an injury.

At Cusimano, Roberts, Mills & Knowlton, we believe understanding your rights starts with good information.

🗣️ Some of life’s most important legal conversations don’t begin in a law office.

They begin around the kitchen table.

What if something happens to me?
How do we protect our family?
What should we have in place for the future?

💙 Estate planning is more than documents and signatures. It represents the thoughtful decisions today that can give the people you love greater clarity tomorrow.

Our latest Around the Kitchen Table article explores why estate planning is an act of care and why you don’t have to have every answer before you begin.

Some traditions are worth celebrating every year.

This week, our team gathered for one of our favorites: celebrating another completed supplement to the "Alabama Tort Law" reference guide by our partner, Michael Roberts.

For decades, Mike has authored and updated this respected legal treatise, a resource used by attorneys and judges throughout Alabama to research and understand developments in civil law.

Reflecting on this year's updates to the 8th edition (2025), Mike shared:

"Updating 'Alabama Tort Law' is never a one-person effort. I'm grateful for the support of our entire team, whose encouragement and patience make this work possible each year. It's a privilege to contribute to a resource that serves the Alabama legal community."

We couldn't be more proud of Mike's dedication to the profession, and we're grateful to celebrate another milestone together.

Congratulations, Mike! 👏📚

It's a question many people don't expect to face until they're suddenly living it.

An adjuster may ask for "your side of the story" or request a recorded statement shortly after an accident. While those conversations may seem routine, it's important to understand why the questions are being asked—and what your rights are before you respond.

In our latest article, we answer some of the most common questions, including:
✔️ What insurance adjusters are trying to learn
✔️ What a recorded statement is
✔️ Why your answers matter
✔️ What steps you can take to protect your interests
