Lindsay stresses the critical importance of selecting the right firm — one you can trust — with these words: “I trusted Hare Wynn from the moment I first spoke with them. I don’t think you could go into this process and not trust the people who are fighting for you. You really only have one chance to get it right, or you are finished before you even start. You have to have somebody who says, ‘We are going to fight for you, and we will not give up, no matter how long it takes.’ I consider Brittany and Matt not only my advocates throughout the process but also lifelong friends who made sure they gave me peace that no one else could. They never let me down. They will always hold a very special place within my heart.”
To more fully express her gratitude, Lindsay recently sent an email to Matt and Brittany which read:
“All I ever wanted was justice for my dad and peace knowing I fought hard for him. I know that without the weight that the firm’s name carries, and without Matt’s reputation, the settlement I received would not have been possible. I am so thankful to both of you for helping me get to a point of peace — something I haven’t felt since he passed away. I believe God calls people to certain jobs and you both are doing what He called you to do. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for not giving up, for always being honest and being realistic with me. I am forever grateful.”

time to slow down as you come to a stop. When going downhill, proceed slowly. When going uphill, don’t ever slam on the breaks or stop moving. Increase Following Distance During winter weather, it’s best to add 5–6 seconds to your following distance. This provides the space needed should you have to stop abruptly — especially on icy roads. It’s also essential to recognize and understand how your brakes work. Do not slam on your brakes, as they will be much more likely to lock up, causing you to lose control of the vehicle. Clear the Exhaust Pipe Clear your exhaust pipe before driving your vehicle by removing any snow, dirt, or mud that may have accumulated and clogged it. A blocked exhaust pipe can cause toxic carbon monoxide gas to leak into the car’s cabin while the engine runs.
