“The Vaughan family has a long-standing reputation in the community for being zealous advocates for our clients. The firm was started in 1913 by my grandfather, Charles L. Vaughan, and he was later joined by my great uncle, Vincent D. Vaughan… and our motto has never changed: it’s all about the client. We work in every way possible to get the best results for our clients and we do it in a very caring and compassionate way. I believe that is why we have been so successful for so long.”
