Frank Mickens: All right. A whole lot involved in cases like this. The law on parental rights, the rights of the child. So okay, when is discipline now child abuse? I have some experts here, Susan Spidell, Director of Family Support Services with Family Service of The Piedmont, and attorney David Daggett, with Daggett and Shuler Law. All right. So Sue, let’s start with you….

October 14th, 2014Driving down the highway at fast speeds can be dangerous. There is some comfort in the fact that there are guardrails lining the roads. Guardrails are put in place to protect us from severe injury in case of an accident. But what happens if a guardrail does not perform properly and may be a defective product? When struck, Guardrails help to protect drivers from severe…
October 8th, 2014Construction accidents happen often, and workers need to be as careful and as aware of potential dangers as possible. Many construction sites include highways, streets and large work areas that involve a lot of movement, traffic and equipment. The North Carolina Highway Patrol recently shut down Interstate 40 for hours after a construction worker was killed when a pick-up truck suddenly veered out of his…
I would like to take a minute to express my gratitude to the the staff at Daggett Shuler and in particular Cindy Cosgrove. I am not the easiest person in the world to get along with at times, but she was given a gift from above in how to handle people in need of an attitude adjustment. I think she missed her calling, because she would have made a great therapist. She walked me through every step of the complete procedure, and she and Griff Shuler made sure my settlement was both fair and done in a timely manner. When I first spoke to Mr. Shuler I made it perfectly clear that I didn’t even want to go on workers compensation to begin with. I began to understand rather quickly that this is a business, and unfortunately the attorneys for the insurance company make you feel like you’re just a number. I was fortunate to have the team from Daggett Shuler prepare me for what lay ahead, as it was quite a shock. I would recommend Griff to anyone who is looking to be treated with respect, while keeping their dignity intact. As for Cindy Cosgrove, I consider her to be a friend, therapist, financial advisor, and an all around gift from heaven. Thank you all again for your help as well as patience for putting up with me.
