Dear neighbors,
Merry Christmas from Greg, Jarrod and Chris of the King Law Firm. The majority of the year, we are helping people who have been seriously injured through no fault of their own. We take our responsibilities as advocates seriously, and it’s our privilege to serve our neighbors as we help them overcome tough hurdles. However, as the holiday season draws near, we look forward to loosening our ties (just a little) to give away toys and reconnect with family and friends.
We hope you’ll share in our holiday cheer by participating in the toy giveaway. We wish all of you a safe and happy new year.
Greg, Jarrod and Chris
