We Give Back in Durham

Since our first foray into volunteering, we’ve worked with Move for Hunger, Wake Med Children’s Hospital, Urban Ministries of Durham, and the Ronald McDonald House of Durham and Wake, and we’re not stopping any time soon. Sometimes, the charities we pick are seasonal – food in November for Thanksgiving, toys in December for Christmas – and always, the cause is close to our hearts and our zip code.

We believe in a hands-on approach to being good citizens. Just as advocating for clients is about more than just doing a job, investing in the community requires an ongoing commitment. Our employees don’t simply show up for the typical 9-5. We’re here to make a positive impact for the long term.

Not only do our service days forge bonds with the community, they also build chemistry within our team. Working side by side away from the daily grind helps us refocus our priorities. For us, relationships should come first. If the trust isn’t there, then nothing else works quite right. Whether it’s cooking up pizza, dishing out hot meals, or shouldering boxes full of toys, having each other’s backs makes us a stronger team in the office, the courtroom, and beyond. Plus, we like hanging out with each other. It’s just fun.

Stepping out of the office to help the greater community is an essential part of what we do in law and in life. We believe that making personal connections is the key to success. Putting in the hard work to see a smile at the end of the day is far more rewarding than simply signing a check.
