October 2021 Newsletter
Throughout September, temperatures fell while COVID-19 cases rose. Although pandemic precautions throughout our communities are changing, the goals and mission of your law firm remain dedicated to you and your legal matters.
This September marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Read about how SM&P staff observed that tragic day with events offered to honor and memorialize our fallen and injured heroes who sacrificed for others two decades ago. Firm team members participated in the Field of Flags ceremony at a local battlefield, witnessing firsthand the inspirational impact of the flags, and in a letter-writing campaign through Operation Gratitude.
