Sub for Santa visits the Adoption Exchange

Every year, The Advocates donate money to buy presents for children in need for the Sub for Santa program. The last few years we have participated in the Angel Tree. This year we decided to do something different. One of our employees heard about this program on the news. It is called the Adoption Exchange. They are an adoption agency located in Utah.

We chose 5 kids age ranging from 14 - 17 years old. Each child had written a list of wants and needs. The Sponsor was to buy all the needs and get at least one want. It was really fun to go out and get the wants they had listed, knowing that on Christmas Day, Santa had brought them what they wished for. I only wished we could be there when that happens. It brings us peace, joy and many blessings to know that we have done something for someone.

Is Your Time Running Out?

Statute of Limitations - The time limit for your case.

In order to recover on a personal injury case in Utah, you must file within a specified period of time based on the type of injury and who you are suing. This time period is called the Statute of Limitations.

The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Utah ranges from 1 to 4 years depending on the case. In order to avoid this statute, it is usually best to consult an attorney sooner rather than later.

You may not have any visual injuries now, but it could come out later and later may be too late.

Happy Halloween !!

This year, The Advocates decided to dress up and have a Halloween costume contest. Those that lost would have to buy lunch for the entire firm, (that way we would have more participation!) The winner would receive a nights stay at the Zurmont Resort in Midway, UT. We had two categories : 1) Best Overall and 2) Most Original. The winner of the Most Original was the shower curtain and the winner of Best Overall went to the Queen. Other participants were a mummy, nun, Monty Python, Sonny and no Cher, a zombie, and Jack from the Nightmare before Christmas.
