Hare Wynn got the world’s best experts involved in the case and fully prepared it to go to trial. Lane says that the case went on for about two years, but he and Kathryn were always kept up to date as to how things were proceeding, and they never worried because they felt like everything was in very capable hands. As the case neared the trial date, there were two attempts to mediate, but both failed because the Hagan’s legal team would not even consider an offer that was not adequate to fully and properly take care of Libby for the rest of her life and fully provide for both Kathryn and Lane. After further negotiations, both parties were able to finally agree on a settlement, which did just that — it took care of the Hagan family. For the first time since the birth of Libby, Kathryn and Lane felt a considerable amount of relief, peace, and gratitude as they would now be in a position to take care of Libby for the rest of her life despite whatever circumstances might arise. Lane says that he and his wife deeply appreciated how Hare Wynn treated them like family. He explains, “I just can’t say enough as to how they rallied around us. Leon, Jamie, and their team said that they would take care of us, and they very literally did. It was incredible. We really and truly felt like family from the first meeting with
Leon in our living room. That never changed. This is the thing that will forever stay with us. I would recommend Hare Wynn to anyone and everyone, and if we had to do it again — God help us — I would pick them 100 times over. We still communicate with them. They are our family now, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Making an Impact Where It Counts
in need. In particular, the 390,000 children in the area who receive free or reduced-cost lunches while in school. While the difference an event like this can make in the long run is priceless, every dollar donated equates to ten additional meals for those struggling with hunger. What We Gave Back During the event, which spanned from April 22 to May 3, we’re excited to say that we were able to collect 498 pounds of food! Every employee who could participate was driven to help as much as they could. It really spoke to our firm culture, and we couldn’t be prouder of the dedication our staff members have for the community around us. At the end of the day, everyone at Hare Wynn is just excited to help our neighbors in need however we can. To learn more, don’t hesitate to call our offices or visit our website at hwnn.com.
According to NoKidHungry.org, there are a little over 12 million children in “food insecure” homes in the United States. This means that those living situations don’t provide enough food for every member of the family to maintain a healthy lifestyle. What is even more concerning for our local area is that more than 1 in 4 children in Alabama don’t know where their next meal is coming from . At Hare Wynn, those are statistics we simply cannot ignore.
H ere at Hare, Wynn, Newell & Newton, we’re very community-driven. We’re always ready to do whatever we can to offer a voice to the voiceless and give back in any way possible. That’s why our firm participates in the Alabama Legal Food Frenzy.
Alabama Legal Food Frenzy This was an excellent opportunity to make an impact on those statistics. The Frenzy was a chance to compete with other law firms and legal organizations to help raise funds and stock Alabama food banks to help feed our neighbors
