Yesterday I helped Operation AirDrop sort and pack donations to deliver to Western NC.

What I saw today was the best of us. It gave me hope. It made me believe that together we can do amazing things!

This is just starting and sorting and packing donations for delivery to the AirDrop pilots is going on this weekend in Five Points @ Electric Supply Co. @ 207 Bickett Blvd Raleigh NC 27608. 10-2 Sat & Sun.

Do you have some time?

Do you want to make a difference?

This feels a heck of a lot better than sitting around feeling helpless to help!!!

I ❤️ you Raleigh. I’m so proud of all of us!

Hammer Law PLLC celebrated its fourth anniversary on April 27, 2022. And I personally had the honor of being named to Legal Elite in Business North Carolina magazine for the third year in a row.

I never thought I would start a law firm when I graduated from Pepperdine in 2003. I never thought I'd be both an attorney and a business owner. And the experience has been priceless although it's the hardest thing I've ever done. Many of the entrepreneurs and small business owners I've worked with remember the early years and tell me it's not easy and the days and nights blur together a lot.
But it's a gift.

So, I want to say thank you. Thank you to family and friends who have supported me along the way, both in California and North Carolina. Thank you to the attorneys who have taught me how I want to practice law and have mentored me along the way. Thank you to the amazing clients I've been lucky enough to work with over the years. And thank you to life for giving me this chance. In sum.... here's to all of you as I celebrate year four of Hammer Law! I wouldn't be here without you.
