JRG Attorneys at Law will be closed on Thursday, June 19, 2025, in recognition of Juneteenth, the federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States.
As we observe this important day, we reflect on the ongoing pursuit of justice, equity, and freedom for all. In the powerful words of Ida B. Wells-Barnett, investigative journalist and civil rights activist: “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”
Her words remain a timely reminder of the responsibility we all share in protecting and advancing the freedoms for which so many have fought.
