Holidays 2020 Edition

We know the winter chill doesn't put a freeze on your family matters.

When you need legal representation for family law, wills and estates or real estate, you can trust the experienced lawyers at Daunais McKay + Harms.

As this landmark year draws to a close we warm our hearts and toes by the fire and look forward to 2021.

Many people have felt the brunt of this pandemic year from the loss of jobs, businesses and sometimes homes, to the loss of loved ones. We are grateful at DM+H for what we still have, namely each other and a wonderful, caring, team of lawyers and staff.

From all of us to all of you, the best of the Holiday Season, and here's to 2021, it can not come too soon!
