“The community has given so much to us”
In the video, we start with a simple truth that shapes how we show up every day: “It’s very important for us to be able to give back to the community because the community has given so much to us.” That sense of gratitude sits at the center of what we do. Since 1982, our firm has grown alongside local families and businesses. The video shows how we keep that relationship two‑way by staying involved in practical, hands-on ways.Holiday drives that turn our office into a hub for giving
Around the holidays, our office becomes more than a place to meet with an attorney. It turns into a drop-off point for neighbors who want to help other neighbors. In the video, we talk about how we:- Run a Thanksgiving food drive, collect donated food, and deliver it to a local organization.
- Host a Christmas toy collection every year and serve as a toy drop-off location.
Board service and long-term support for local causes
Our involvement reaches beyond seasonal drives. In the video, we share how members of our team have served on several local boards over the years. One moment highlights service on the Community Foundation Board, described this way: “A wonderful organization that funds scholarships and helps people that want to leave a legacy coinciding with the estate planning.” That connection matters. Through this work, we help support:- Scholarships that open doors for students.
- Legacy efforts that allow people to support causes they care about long after they are gone.
Seeing the need and choosing to act
Toward the end of the video, one line stands out: “There are so many people that need help, and we’re able to do that with certain organizations, fundraising and different things that we do.” That awareness drives our community efforts and our legal work. Every day, we meet people facing hard moments: an injury, a family change, a job issue, a major real estate or business decision. Our role is to stand beside them, explain their options, and guide them through the process. Our community involvement tells the same story. We do not try to solve every challenge alone. We partner with trusted local organizations, support fundraising efforts, and invite others to join in, one food item or toy at a time.How this connects to our values today
The video is short, but it captures several values that still shape how we practice law at Lusk, Drasites & Tolisano:- Local commitment: We have served this area since 1982, and we remain deeply invested in the people who live and work here.
- Personal relationships: Just as we know the organizations we support, we get to know the clients we serve and the details that matter in their lives.
- Whole-picture thinking: Through estate planning, business law, real estate matters, and more, we help clients plan for both today and tomorrow—much like the legacy work highlighted in the video.
- Steady support: Whether we collect toys, serve on a board, or guide someone through a legal issue, we aim to show up consistently and reliably.
