Just a Little Help

     Many people call us and may really just need a little legal help or guidance. In those situations we try to provide you with some help and assistance to point you in the right direction. Please allow me to share with you a little further information that you may also find helpful.

     First of all let me tell you it is very difficult for us to say no to somebody who is calling for legal representation. Our attorneys and staff are really the type of people who like to help. We like to be able to ...

    A Piece of Our Heart

     Hello, and as always, welcome to Lewis & Daggett. We appreciate your taking time to read our firm blog. This week we want to talk to you a little about something that is most important to us. That is our clients and our former clients. It may sound a bit cliché to say you are important to us, so we wanted to talk about this and explore this just a little bit further.

     As you know, we are proud of our team here at Lewis and Daggett that includes attorneys, legal assistants, former insurance adjusters ...

 Always Learning   

     It is "Back-to-School" time. Do you remember the thrill, anxious anticipation, and nervous excitement of your first days and weeks of each of your school years? What energy you had! What openness to new possibilities! At Lewis & Daggett we believe that we can all share this sense of excitement, and continual learning is actually one of our major firm beliefs.

       Do Good Things . . .

     Today is a special day here in the Lewis & Daggett family. Today, Mike Lewis’ father, The Reverend Henry A. Lewis, celebrates his 90^th birthday and 65^th year in the ministry. Certainly both of these are significant milestones. What can we learn from him?

     There are many lessons we have and can continue to learn from Rev. Lewis. He tends to stop by the office at fairly regular intervals, and is around enough that he is truly part of our L & D family. We always enjoy it when he stops by, and I always try to pick up a lesson. I may write a book some day on the lessons lear ...

     There is a lot of excitement around our house - school starts this week! The start of a new school year is always a time of excitement and anticipation, but is also it a time to review and remember a few aspects of safety, particularly for our youngsters. Unfortunately, at our law firm we have seen too many times when an accident, injury, or some other harm dampens the year before it really gets started.

     The first thing that we will all notice is that traffic in general is heavier. That means we need to remind ourselves to be sure to stay alert and practice paying attention to our best driving skills. Additionally, it is a good time to remind ourselves to be courteous and respectful to other drivers. Good Manners go a long way toward being safe!

There's No Shortcut to Hard Work      

Hard work usually ends up with positive results, and, as we all know, there is rarely a shortcut to hard work. The exciting thing about hard work is how good and rewarding it always feels when the results are reached and the benefits gained.                      

      This past weekend Doug Nauman and I went on a little bicycle ride that included a long climb up to about 3000 feet on the Blue Ridge Parkway. There was no easy way up. Above is a photo we took of ourselves using t ...
