Evening Honoring the Judiciary
May 15, 2012
The Committee for the Evening Honoring the Judiciary has been hard at work planning an exciting event for 2012. We have lined up an exciting speaker and are working on the other details to make the evening extra special. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details.
Wills for Heroes
Tuesday, February 7, and Wednesday, February 8, 2012
At the Pearl Fire Department.
We are looking for attorneys to volunteer for a morning or afternoon shift on either day. Volunteers will prepare wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives for first responders. Estate planning experience is not necessary, but this is a great way to obtain a basic understanding of these instruments. Contact Troy Odom at troy@bbfirm.com
