Thanks to all who reached out today to check on our attorneys. All three of our litigators were in court in Wake County when this sad and senseless act of violence took place. We are so thankful that we were kept safe by the swift actions of the first responder professionals that protect us in our Courtrooms every day. As litigators in high conflict cases, we are never truly safe, but today we are grateful for the protection that surrounded us both here and in the realms unseen.

While we don’t normally make political posts and don’t support any political party openly, we do support judges that care, and protect the rule of law. Please read this article written by my friend, Sarah Jessica Farber, and form your own opinion. Judge Hauter is a friend and colleague and we believe he should stay on the bench.
