Fun and Frugal Ideas for Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a time to reflect on all of the sacrifices members of our armed forces have made for our freedom. Kicking off the summer season, we usually spend this time reconnecting with family members and friends. While some families will use the time off to travel, many are searching for low-cost activities that won’t break the bank to enjoy the three day weekend.

We Must Keep Running ~ After Boston Marathon Bombings

As we are all reflecting upon the tragic events of the recent Boston Marathon bombings, I am thinking about my own family as well since I am an avid runner and frequently participate in marathons and other various running events. Unfortunately, in these uncertain times, it’s not so hard to fathom that a tragedy like this could have happened just as easily at other marathons I have completed in the past. For a moment I did consider if I should continue to participate in future marathons, given the obvious safety concerns that have been brought to light since the bombings.

New Attorney Christina Valdez | Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys

For one of our newest team members, Attorney Christina Valdes, the journey to becoming a lawyer actually started with her parents. “My family is from Cuba. They defected to the US after the revolution. They left Cuba with nothing but three outfits and two pairs of shoes. They came to this country for freedom and built a new life here. I have always been in awe of what they were able to overcome and of what they have built despite the language barrier.”
