Meet our Texts=Wrecks finalists: Gillian Pritchett
Welcome to this new blog series where we celebrate the six finalists for our 2018 Texts=Wrecks scholarship. Our first finalist is Gillian Pritchett, a 19-year-old student at Wesleyan College in Georgia. Working toward her degree in Early Childhood Education, Gillian hails from Warner Robins, Georgia, and has a personal connection with reckless driving. We’ll let her tell you in her own words.
Let’s remember Memorial Day and celebrate National Military Appreciation Month
Many people think of Memorial Day as another long weekend filled with barbecues, picnics, or maybe a road trip. I also love seeing all the American flags flying in our neighborhood and community.
On Memorial Day, we’re really honoring the men and women who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of all Americans and millions of others around the world.
Law partners Gibson, Singleton oppose each other in drunk driving “mock sentencing trial” for Middlesex teen
Just in time for senior prom, GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys Ken Gibson and John Singleton staged a mock “driving under the influence” (DUI) sentencing trial for Middlesex High School students on April 20. The trial demonstrated what can happen when teens drink alcohol and drive.
Attorneys Gibson and Singleton worked with Middlesex County School Resource Officer and event organizer Chris Gatling to organize this memorable event. Gibson played the role of prosecutor while Singleton played the role of defense attorney, pretending to oppose each other in the courtroom. Middlesex County Commonwealth’s Attorney Michael Hurd acted as judge.
Our “Texts=Wrecks” campaign continues
Helping Virginia teens and adults make a difference
Ken Gibson and John Singleton once answered a call to serve our country in the Marine Corps. Next, they went to law school and became attorneys in answer to a different call to serve others. Today, they are serving their community by speaking to local high school students in Gloucester, Mathews, and Middlesex about safe driving.
Fight distracted driving AND win money for college!
How we can all help youth and adults be safer
America’s young people live in a dangerous world. You just have to check today’s news to confirm that. Opioid addiction, gun violence and school shootings, suicide, bullying—the list goes on. But let’s look at the numbers to find out what the biggest threat to our young people really is.
GibsonSingleton seeks to reduce distracted driving with “Texts=Wrecks” campaign
GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys has launched a “Texts=Wrecks” campaign to reduce the number of people injured or killed by distracted drivers in this area.
GibsonSingleton receives more than 702 coats from generous community in annual Coat Drive
GibsonSingleton Virginia Injury Attorneys’ Fall Coat Drive collected 702 coats plus cash donations from generous donors in the community.
The firm primarily gave the coats to the Salvation Army, which distributes them to local children and many others in need, and the Hampton Veterans Administration Center, which serves many homeless veterans.
“Lawyers aren’t turkeys”
Gibson, Singleton chair Christmas project to deliver 90 turkey dinners to local families in need
Our attorneys, Ken Gibson and John Singleton, wanted to help local people who might not be having a Christmas dinner this year. To fulfill the mission, they enlisted their fellow members of the Middle Peninsula Bar Association.
The Association jumped in wholeheartedly, and the first “Lawyers Aren’t Turkeys” Christmas Dinner Project was born.
Update: We’ve reached 501 coats!!
We have great news….
