We are pleased to announce that Nichole has completed a specialized educational program in professional divorce analysis and is now a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™ (CDFA™).  By analyzing the financial issues of the divorce, she helps determine the short-term and long-term financial impact of different settlement proposals and provides clients and their lawyers with data to help strengthen their case.

This designation and this niche industry are expanding rapidly as more people across the country search for alternative divorce processes - from collaborative law to mediation -rather than litigating their case using lawyers as their only line of defense.

Congratulations, Nichole!

JUNE 2011

On June 26^th, George left with a group from Massachusetts working through Convoy of Hope and Calvary Christian Church of Lynnfield, MA, on a mission trip to Haiti.  For one week alongside another team from Texas and a group of local men who were learning various aspects of construction, they labored to rebuild a fallen school/church structure.  Since the earthquake that rampaged Haiti in January 2010, local people had been using a broken down concrete building as their school and church meeting area.  The structure George's team put up will be able to replace the dire facilities that were being used and be able to house 800 locals for church services on Sunday and the 65 area children for daily schooling.
