I will definitely be returning as a client in the future.” –Cesar O. “When it comes to lawyers, I tend to be skeptical. However, this experience was a great one. There were no unrealistic promises, they gave thorough explanations of what to expect, were very knowledgeable, gave me advice during tough scenarios, and were very responsive. I wasn’t trying to get rich, just receive what I was owed, and we got that and then some. This was an amazing experience, which was a breath of fresh air after going through a traumatic experience.” –Madelyn B. We can help you just like we’ve helped so many.

Build Hours of Entertainment
With the Perfect Blanket Fort
After months spent stuck at home, it’s no surprise your kids are going stir-crazy. Old toys get stale, new toys are expensive, and there’s only so much backyard-
adventuring they can do as colder weather moves in. So, how can you keep your kids freshly entertained? Build an excellent blanket fort!
CHOOSE THE SPACE WISELY. A smart fort-building space isn’t always what's easy or predictable. Living rooms and bedrooms are go-to spots, but take a look around your different rooms and consider how they might provide better
building opportunities. For example, your dining room table can provide the support you need to build a massive fort. The long hallway leading to the bedrooms means the fort can have tunnels attached to it. You can even build in the attic, where the fort might not have to be temporary. Go for a space that’s fun and unique, even if it means it’s in your way for just a little while. BUILD IT RIGHT. A fort ceiling needs to stay above your kids’ heads where it belongs. They don’t need standing room, but they do need something they can move through freely. Always remember to counterbalance by using lighter sheets on top and heavier blankets on the bottom to weigh everything down. If you add a blanket to one side, add a similar blanket to the opposite side. Also attach blankets to stationary items like doorknobs or furniture legs. If you’re stumped, string up a line of rope to serve as the stable center of your fort. MAKE IT COMFORTABLE. If you take the time to construct a fort that has multiple purposes, your kids are less likely to get bored with it. When they’re all played out, encourage some quiet time in the fort with tablets and laptops for cordless entertainment. String up lights on the ceiling of the fort to provide hands-free light for reading. When it comes to comfort, spare no expense. Couch cushions, pillows, blankets, and sleeping bags are all fair game. You may even get an impromptu nap out of your kids if you do it right.
Zesty Orange Cranberry Sauce
Skip the can-shaped cranberry sauce this year and bring a jar of homemade sauce to Thanksgiving instead. This easy recipe can be made ahead of the big event and keeps for 10 days in the fridge.
Ingredients • 1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed • 1/2 cup water • 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar
• 12 oz fresh cranberries • 2 tsp orange zest • Salt to taste
Directions 1. In a medium saucepan, heat the orange juice, water, and sugar to a boil. Add other ingredients, then bring mixture back to boiling. 2. Reduce the heat to medium and cook gently for 10–12 minutes, until the cranberries burst. 3. Transfer the sauce to a bowl or jar, cover, and refrigerate until serving.
Forts can be magical places for imagination and hours of entertainment. All it takes is a little creativity and some dedication!
