Behind every successful courtroom appearance, client call, organized file, and schedule change, there is the powerhouse team that keeps our office running. ⚖️

Today, for Administrative Professionals Day, we are proud to celebrate the five fabulous women who make it all possible: Holli, Michelle, Jenny, Darla, and Courtney. ✨

We see you. We appreciate you. And undoubtedly, we would be a mess without you. Thank you for everything you do. 💖

Meet Dottie, aka Dot-T! 🎀🐾 Laura's sweet, adorable, 6 month old foster pup from the Livingston County Animal Shelter!

If you asked Dottie, she would tell you she managed to elude lock-up this week by participating in a work-release program. If you ask us, the highlight of our week has been having Dottie here as a special guest (no work required!!) 💛

Our verdict when it comes to Dottie:
✅Cuddle champion.
✅Expert in quiet naps during conference calls.
✅ Flawless record of ZERO office accidents (potty training is still a work in progress at home, but she's learning!)
✅Gives the kind of hugs that should be considered an emotional support service.

Dottie has undoubtedly stolen all of our hearts this week. We know the right home is out there for her and are hoping to help get the word out there she is available for adoption 🩷🏠
