years as a trial lawyer. Friends from the business and legal communities gathered for a private dinner
hosted by Charleston’s Grill 225. Lisa Duncan, Executive Operations Manager, presented Hulsey with a
3 x 4 foot framed collage containing news clippings and pictures depicting major events and accomplishments
of his 30 year career as a national trial lawyer. HLG managing partner, Cherie Durand, presented Hulsey
a crystal bowl signed by family and friends. Greetings and congratulations from friends across the country
were read at the celebration. Brett Hulsey read a poem his father had written in 1992 entitled “A Path
Worth Taking.”

friendship, support and inspiration in their profession. She then toasted to another 30 years of practice
