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.

(L & D Front Desk)
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.

(Photo form last Friday’s firm meeting)
Learning is a continual process. Social scientists, doctors, psychologists, and researchers confirm that continued learning is necessary for proper brain function and development. Lo ...

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 90th birthday and 65th 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'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 ...

Teamwork |

Teamwork In some of the reading I did this past week I came across an article defining Teamwork as a group working together in a way that the collective value of individuals’ contributions is greater than the total of each individual’s contribution. You may need to read that again and pay particular attention to where the apostrophe falls. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the source - fortunately, I do remember the message. This message is very consistent with our firm philosophy. Mike Lewis is fond of saying “none of us is as smart as all of us.” Each individual is important to us, and likewise each individual makes us all better.  &nbs ...

Commitment! |

Commitment!
Commitment is a timeless virtue and is certainly valued by us at Lewis & Daggett. It seems that in the hustle bustle and ever changing modern society that commitment isn’t what it used to be. Perhaps that is why we tend to value it so much when we see it.
We have discussed before how proud we are of our Lewis and Daggett team. We recently reflected on all of our folks who have been with us for more than 10 years - wow! On top of that, we just had two long term folks celebrate 17 and 18 years with us. Pictured below are Ann Clifton (18 years) and Ken Haynes (17 years):
