Happy New Year! Our firm welcomes Matthew back from a short sabbatical in December. He reports that he savored every minute of time with his two young children and his wife.

Our firm is excited about 2009. We believe our country and our families and businesses will find a new resolve and strength in their ability to respond to difficulty and pull together. The Chinn Team has already experienced this excitement and we look forward to seeing it spread throughout the country.

Our firm will be working its normal schedule this month with Martin Luther King Holiday on January 19th being a normal business day that we will be closed. As always when we are not in the office, clients and friends should feel free to locate us on our cell phones. If you do not have our cell phone numbers, let us know.
