A Day at West Point Supporting the Army Black Knights
This past Saturday, September 21st, 140 firm employees enjoyed an outing to Michie Stadium at West Point to cheer on the Army Black Knights as they faced the Rice Owls. The day began with a lively indoor tailgate at the West Point Club, where firm members and their families were treated to a brunch while enjoying the West Point cadet parade. It was a great day filled with camaraderie, team spirit, and an impressive victory by the Black Knights!

OUR PUBLIC SAFETY CAMPAIGN IN THE BRONX AND QUEENS
As personal injury attorneys, we see firsthand the devastations of distracted driving and distracted walking. That is why we launched our outdoor public safety campaign. The safety messages target pedestrians in the Bronx and Queens, reminding them that distracted driving is a real danger and to stay alert when walking across or driving on busy New York City streets. The campaign lists shocking facts about distracted driving and alerts pedestrians that people have been killed and seriously injured at busy intersections where they are standing at right now.
