Grandparents Raising Children

March 25, 2020/by Nicole Christie

My grandmother was a critical part of my entire life. I could count on her to treat every one of my birthdays like it was Christmas. I remember when she would babysit and she insisted on watching the “the Archie Bunker show” (All in the Family) as she called it. I grew to like the […]

A Daddy of My Own

November 5, 2019/by Nicole Christie

I have been told that lawyers spend a great deal of time focused on themselves and their accomplishments.
