On October 10th-11th, 2024, we had the pleasure of connecting with the wonderful people of Eleuthera, where we shared our expertise on Wills, Estate Planning, and other legal matters. A heartfelt thank you to the Rotary Club of Eleuthera for hosting us as guest speakers. The engagement and thoughtful questions made the session both informative and rewarding. It was a privilege to provide free consultations to those who attended our all-day clinic, and we're excited to continue working with the individuals and businesses of Eleuthera. This experience reminded us of the strong need for accessible legal services in the Out Islands, and we remain committed to being there for you every step of the way.
