Back in the saddle again
By now chances are you’ve probably heard my latest radio commercials. Hope you like them. My cousin, John Paul, out of Merrimack, N.H., a very talented and creative musician put together a great country western radio ad for me. It’s upbeat, catchy, and to the point.

The risks of laying it on the line

It’s not a topic you hear every day, and it has nothing to do with personal injury law, but I want to give you some basics so you’ll know what’s going on.
