As Independence Day approaches, we find ourselves reflecting with gratitude on the remarkable inheritance we share as Americans.

The liberty we enjoy today was not inevitable. It was secured by the courage of those who pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to the idea that people are endowed with unalienable rights – and it has been preserved across generations by countless men and women who believed those freedoms were worth defending. The framework of law and ordered liberty they built is the same foundation that allows our work, our community, and our families to flourish.

We are deeply thankful for that legacy, and for the privilege of practicing law within a system devoted to justice and the rule of law. We are grateful, too, for the trust you place in our firm to help safeguard your own corner of it.

This Independence Day, we hope you’ll take a moment to honor those who came before us and to celebrate the freedom they passed into our keeping, perhaps even take a moment to read the Declaration (Declaration of Independence: A Transcription | National Archives). From our family to yours, we wish you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Fourth.
