We couldn't be prouder to celebrate our longtime colleague, friend, and co-founding shareholder Charles Van Horn on his 30th anniversary with our firm.

For three decades, Chuck has been "knocking it out of the park" as a leader at BFV, as well as in the greater legal community and beyond. Chuck’s leadership has been instrumental in BFV's growth and success, and we're incredibly grateful for all he has done to make our firm what it is today.

Congratulations, Chuck, on this incredible milestone! We are all proud of everything you have accomplished for our firm and our clients, and we are grateful for all you do for BFV.

The BFV team recently visited the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in downtown Atlanta. The museum is dedicated to sharing the history and achievements of the civil rights movement in the United States while connecting them to the broader human rights movement worldwide.

It was a meaningful opportunity to learn from the courageous individuals and stories highlighted throughout the museum.
