Murphy & Dunn is growing again. We need a paralegal that would like to make a difference in Clients and their children’s lives. It can be a full time position with benefits working Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm (37.5 hours per week) or a long part time position without benefits working 9 am to 3 pm (27.5 hours per week) for a paralegal that might need to only work during school hours. Great pay. Rewarding work. Great team of people to work with. If you have any interest, please email me your resume and a cover letter to [email protected].

I don’t post much on Facebook these days. And for good reason. I am simply happy and feel very blessed and I do not need to announce that to the world every day.

Back in 2016, I needed Facebook and the emotional support and feedback I was receiving from everyone after Nick was killed. You all literally helped me survive. And for that I will always be eternally grateful. Along the way I also felt like I was helping others get through their own tough times as well. It was a win-win.

But today I am healthy and happy and I don’t have anything earth shattering to report except just that. That I feel so blessed to have found a wonderful new partner in life with Kathy Filarski and we are getting married in less than four months, all of my children and her children are doing fabulous overall and living their best lives, that we are doing great at work and continuing to help others get through their family law problems as much as humanly possible, and that we just passed the one million dollar mark in free pro bono legal services for veterans and military men and women since 2016 in honor of Nick.

So all I can say is thank you to God. Without Him, I would not have survived and thrived these past 8 years and neither would our families. We are all very blessed.

So on this beautiful Sunday in central Illinois or wherever you are, don’t forget to take a deep breath and remember how fortunate we all are in this difficult place we all call life. You can’t change yesterday and tomorrow is not yet here, so go make today your best day. It truly is a gift.

We will continue to celebrate Nick and the legacy that our brave men and women who have served and continue to serve in our Armed Forces through legal services and grants throughout the year.

It was a wonderful time at the 6th annual "Fairways for the Armed Forces" Golf Outing. We cannot thank our sponsors and participants enough for making the day memorable and special. Memories were made by all who participated and we cannot wait until next year.

Enjoy the video and we will be making more posts regarding the golf outing in the coming week. Stay Tuned.
