The article goes on to say:

“We should all be thankful for trial lawyers like Debi and Jason Chalik who not only work hard to represent injured persons but actually roll up their sleeves and work tirelessly to establish laws that prevent needless injuries from happening. “

We would like to thank the author, Donna Jones, and Advocate Capital for the kind words.
