On April 15, two bombs exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. There were three fatalities, including an 8-year-old boy, and more than 150 injuries as a result of the explosion. As the events of yesterday unfold, our hearts and thoughts go out to the families affected by the tragic bombings.

In our line of work we often represent individuals and families who have had loved ones burned, maimed, or killed. We see firsthand how people are affected by such terrible tragedies. We hope the person responsible will be found. The help that has been offered across the nation by individuals show this heinous act will not vanquish our strength and spirit.
