Delaware State Fair 2023

Growing up in Kent or Sussex County, Delaware, you looked forward to the State Fair every July.

Legal Fireworks In Delaware

Did you hear the one about the Lawyer…

As a lawyer, I often get to hear jokes about lawyers and have received many backhanded compliments about my chosen profession. Lawyers are often viewed in a negative light and sometimes rightly so. However, I do find it ironic that lawyers are the first to be called upon when people need help with a legal problem. Lawyers can only represent people who are seeking representation…without clients, there would be no need for lawyers. Lawyers are at the forefront of protecting individual rights and societal injustices so I thought for a change I would post some quotes that present lawyers in […]

The Importance of Estate Planning

Estate Planning includes the legal documents that will help your family manage your health and property after you pass away or become incapacitated. If you do not have these documents available, you may be leaving your family confused and scrambling in the event of your illness or death. Like a will, an advance healthcare directive is really important.

Happy Memorial Day!

So…Memorial Day.  I think that many people miss what it is really about.  Most people associate Memorial Day with the beginning of summer, barbecues and a cool 3 day weekend.  All of these are true but I want to make sure that people know that there is more to it.  So here is a mini-history lesson – Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day and originated after the Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers.   By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. It is actually a […]
