Personal Crime Safety

      According to FBI statistics a violent crime occurs in the United States every 22.2 seconds. With our economy in decline the threat of crime on individuals is increasing. Therefore, it is prudent to review a few personal safety tips to help you avoid being a victim of crime.

      At Lewis and Daggett we have had intra-office programs the last two weeks to learn how to avoid being a victim of violent crime. Our first program focused on basic tips for personal and home safety, and the second program, held in a gym, focused on some basic self defense tactics. Both programs were enlightening and educational for us.

Winter Driving Safety

     We have been lucky so far this year - we have had no really bad weather to affect driving conditions, as yet. Winter driving can be dangerous, inconvenient, even infuriating. But you can offset those aggravations and minimize the special risks of winter driving by practicing safe habits for winter driving.   

      First, the best rule is not to drive if you don’t have to when the weather is bad. Certainly, you should minimize your driving and only do what is necessary. Please wait until after the snow plows have been through and allow yourself extra time so you are not in a hurry.

Welcome Judge Taylor

     We are proud to welcome Judge Kimberly S. Taylor to our Lewis & Daggett team. Judge Taylor retired after 25 years on the bench as a Resident Superior Court Judge of the 22^nd Judicial District which includes Alexander, Iredell, Davie, and Davidson Counties.

     Judge Taylor has received many honors and is very highly respected. She has been the NCAWA Judge of the Year and is a past president of the 22^nd Judicial District Bar Association.

A Big Deal

     Hunting in North Carolina is a Big Deal! I’m not much of a hunter, but recently the nephew of one of our long term employees hunted a record deer that hit many of the news outlets and hunting periodicals.

     Preston Cave recently got a 180 class buck with a muzzleloader in Yadkin county.
