MLK Community Unity Day Celebration!

January 24, 2023

On Monday, January 16th, Martin Luther King Day, members from the Waterfront Law Team joined the team from Citizens for a Better Eastern Shore (CBES) as well as members from the Northampton County NAACP and other community volunteers to serve soup to seniors at the oldest African-American owned and operated business in Northampton County, Giddens' Do Drop Inn. The purpose of the event was to bring the diverse population of Northampton County together as a community.

The theme for this year’s MLK Community Unity Day celebration, “Together We Can Be the Dream,” was apt as our team strives to embody that daily through our efforts to support local community events and cleanups.

Our team helped to assemble soup and crackers / cornbread for delivery to shut-ins in low-wealth housing complexes as well as for folks who wanted to drop in for a bite to eat. Many hands made for light work and our team was able to help get everything ready, before the first delivery and first guest arrived at 11:00 AM.

REAL ESTATE INVESTOR IN VIRGINIA BEACH VA

★★★★★

Thank Trust and heart are the two words that I will use to describe working with Jim Lang. I trust Mr. Lang to do a great job for me, and let me know up front what my legal fees will total. In the past, he has given me the option to do some of the legal work myself in order to stay within my budget. Mr. Lang also has a heart. He understands life's many ups and downs. I felt that he was really on my side, that he was concerned about me, and how I was doing with my new business. Mr. Lang is an outstanding lawyer but more importantly, Mr. Lang is a good man. I highly recommend him.

SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IN VIRGINIA BEACH VA

★★★★★

Jim Lang has represented my company and myself in litigation several times. These were events that occurred at years of doing business of no fault of my own. I can not express the relief of having Jim by my side. The courtroom is not a place I like to find myself. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and understanding. He explained all my options and even what was going to occur before it happened. He knew what opposing council was going to do like as if he read their notes. I never at any time felt my decision for him to represent me was a wrong decision. I know sometimes life has a way of creating issues beyond your control. These issues can be handled in and a lot of times out of court. I know as long as James (Jim) Lang is my attorney I sleep better at night for those what if's life sometimes throws at you.

HELPED CLIENTS BUILD PIER ON THE EASTERN SHORE VA

★★★★★

My husband, Paul, and myself cannot say enough good things about our experience with Pender and Coward. We worked with James Lang and Jeff Wilson on a rather complicated issue that we were not sure we could get a solution to. However, because of their professionalism, their vast knowledge and the ease with which they worked with us, it ended up to be a great success story. They were able to handle something a bit out of the norm and helped us achieve our goal without the issue escalating. They listened and actually heard us and their communication was always immediate and personal. We can't thank them enough. They lifted a huge weight off our shoulders and we are forever grateful.
