We had a perfect day to catch up with friends, play a fun and competitive game and raise money for several great causes.
The event raised money for three charities – TouchPount … Continue Reading >
Today’s media continues its campaign to attack trial attorneys (the lawyers who represent the injured) and the actual injured.

31 states have laws banning all drivers from sending text messages behind the wheel. An additional nine states have laws that limit texting while driving based on the driver’s age or license status. However, Missouri’s age limit of … Continue Reading >
