THE 3 BEST WAYS TO PLAY HOOKY WITH YOUR CHILD

When Gary Chapman’s book “The Five Love Languages” came out, many people focused on building better relationships with their spouses. But just as words of affirmation, acts of service, touch, gifts, and quality time can help your marriage, these concepts can also help your relationship with your children. One way to show our children how much we love them is to spend quality time with them. And what better way to do that than to break them out of school to play some hooky? Baseball Sharing your love of sports can be a fun way to bond with your child. While day games might not be as common as they used to be, most teams will have at least a few of them each month. These tickets are usually cheaper and often come with promotions to help draw in fans. While most everyone else will be at work or school, you and your child will have free rein of the ballpark. Just be sure to root for the home team! The Zoo The zoo is a great place to educate your child outside of school. They can play hooky and still learn something. Many exhibits will provide information about the animals, their habitats, and conservation efforts. At the very least, your child might encounter an animal they’ve never heard of before.

Our Classy, Professional, Passionate Teammate MEET TRYSTA

We wanted to take a minute to introduce you to our rock star teammember, Trysta. She has been with us for about a year, and her presence in our office every day makes a huge difference in accomplishing our goals as a firm. She is a passionate fighter and treats her role in the justice systemwith absolute class and dignity. This is extremely important to us, as it reflects our firm’s core values. Trysta’s practice focuses largely on personal injury cases and has had an incredible success rate. She also takes on other matters, such as contract and real estate disputes. One of her flagship personal injury cases was a wrongful death matter where she and her co-counsel fought tooth and nail over the death of a young woman. Trysta represented the family of the young woman who was killed by her ex-boyfriend. The family had previously claimed that the ex- boyfriend exhibited violent, escalating behavior, jealousy, and possessiveness that led him to threaten, harass, and assault the young woman on two occasions. After Phoenix police confirmed that the ex-boyfriend made a valid death threat and that he had the intent and means to carry through with that threat, they failed to arrest him. The jury awarded $3 million in damages and apportioned fault between the various responsible parties, including the city of Phoenix. The woman’s family was relieved to know that their case might make a difference in how future similar complaints are handled.

Trysta brings an exceptional and rare skill set to our team. Not only can she fight in trial, but she’s also great at mediation and the not-so- glamorous parts of law, like paperwork. It’s an all-around approach that makes her successful in both our firm and in her personal life. We’re extremely fortunate to have someone like her on our team. If you have questions on how Trysta can fight for you, contact us today. You can see her passion for the law firsthand and put our 99 percent success rate to the test.
