In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Doran & Cawthorne, through The Real Talk & Results Foundation, proudly donated $500 to Miles Perret Cancer Services in loving memory of Fran Monique Price Lemelle. 💗

A devoted wife, loving mother, dedicated educator of 27 years, and woman of unwavering faith, Fran lived a life rooted in love, service, and purpose. Her impact extended far beyond the classroom, touching countless lives throughout her community.

This contribution is more than a donation. It is a tribute to an extraordinary woman whose life reminds us that our greatest legacy is not measured by what we leave behind, but by the lives we touch along the way.

Through this gift, we hope to extend the same compassion and generosity Fran so freely shared with others to individuals and families navigating cancer.

To the Price-Lemelle family, may you find comfort in knowing that Fran’s legacy continues to inspire acts of kindness and service. 🕊️

At Doran & Cawthorne, we believe making a difference extends far beyond the courtroom.

Because a life of purpose leaves a legacy that never fades. ❤️

🚨 LOUISIANA DRIVERS, YOUR MOST DANGEROUS HOURS ARE AFTER DARK.

Think the roads are safer once rush hour is over? Think again.

According to Louisiana traffic safety data, injury crashes are most common during afternoon rush hour, while fatal crashes occur more frequently during evening and early-morning hours.

🌙 Why is nighttime driving so dangerous?

🚗 Reduced visibility makes it harder to recognize hazards.

🍷 Impaired drivers increase the risk of devastating collisions.

😴 Driver fatigue can slow reaction times and impair judgment.

⚠️ Higher speeds and reduced visibility can make nighttime crashes especially severe.

The takeaway? Whether you’re traveling I-10, Highway 90, or your neighborhood streets, the time of day matters.

One moment of carelessness can change someone’s life forever.

At Doran & Cawthorne, we understand that a serious accident doesn’t end when the vehicles stop moving. For many families, that’s when the hardest part begins.

⚖️ Injured in an accident? Know your rights.
