A TALE OF TWO HEROES
Veterans Day is just around the corner, and here at The Button Law Firm, we’re lucky enough to know two incredible veterans: First Lieutenant Foote
The package was full of notes and photos Commander Jiminez had taken of Russell on the court. As soon as he opened it, Russell wrote the commander a thank-you note, and on Veterans Day he gave him a call. “I ended up calling him on Veterans Day every day for 10 years until he passed away,” Russell says. “I’ll never forget him.”
Since 2011, Taylor has served both

overseas and here in Texas.
During his deployment to Egypt in 2018, he worked with soldiers from all over the world as part of the Multinational Force and Observers, an international peacekeeping mission. At home, he responds to hurricanes and other disasters. “I’m still getting used to the idea of being a veteran, per se. It took me eight years of being in the army and an overseas deployment before I was considered a vet,” Taylor says. “I think of Veterans Day as a means to honor the 1% that want to go and fight. There are people way more deserving of the thanks than I am.” Taylor, your humility and bravery are inspiring. We can’t thank you enough for everything you do! To you and all of the veterans out there, Happy Veterans Day!

and Commander Jiminez. Russell’s link with Commander Jiminez dates back to his college days playing basketball. “There was a guy who came to nearly every one of my games,” Russell recalls. “I still remember where he sat, right behind the goal we would shoot on during the second half of every game. He was a disabled veteran. He gave me a package, shook my hand, and said, ‘It’s been an honor to watch you play basketball. My family and I love watching and supporting you. We’re your biggest fans, even though you don’t know it.’”
Our firm’s executive assistant, Tiffany, has an even closer veteran connection. Her husband, First Lieutenant Taylor Foote, is in the Texas Army National Guard.

“My uncle was a service member, and I remember when I was about knee-high seeing his uniform, the old army BDUs in green, black, and browns. As long as I can remember, serving is the only thing I ever wanted to do,” Taylor says.
REVIEW
BUTTON LAW HIGHLIGHT REEL
One of the most remarkable things about The Button Law Firm that stood out to me was their attention to their clients. The entire team and staff worked so closely with me on my case, despite my difficult work schedule. Each member was incredibly mindful of supporting me beyond the office and on my case. Furthermore, Russell was extremely well equipped to handle the difficulties of my case and to also keep me well informed during the process. I think as a client, feeling a part of the process is so important, and this firm gave me that. Couldn’t recommend a better team to represent anyone else. Thank you all again ! –Ivy G.
