More Information on the Edward Owens Agency

After working in the insurance industry for 3 years, and getting offered to be an agent from another insurance company, we decided to start our own agency. We started the agency out of our home for 3 months and then an opportunity came to join an office at 33 Main Street in Halifax, Virginia. After being there for 16 years, we moved to our current location at 120 Edmunds Blvd. in Halifax, Virginia. Over the last 35 years we’ve gained experience working with all types of insurances including life, health, home, auto, motorcycle, commercial property, commercial auto, general liability and worker’s compensation. We feel awfully blessed to have been in business for over 35 years, and we are thankful for all of our clients over those years.

A Legacy of Service

Cunningham Law Group gets its bedrock values from Joel C. Cunningham, retired Virginia Circuit Court Judge. Before he was a judge, he provided free representation to Social Security Disability claimants through the Virginia Legal Aid Society. After he became a judge, he encouraged younger lawyers to donate some of their services to people in need. He’s always been a champion of people with disabilities and financial disadvantages. During his career, he advocated for disability applicants, children in special education and people struggling with creditors. He started a drug court. He received the Community Service and Scales of Justice Award. He was the first African-American appointed as a judge to Virginia’s 10th Judicial Circuit.

But maybe the most important thing was how Judge Cunningham passed these values to his son, Joel Cunningham Jr., who was inspired by his father to help his Virginia neighbors through Cunningham Law Group. Joel Cunningham Jr. established the firm in 1998, in conjunction with his father switching to work as a judge. Since then, we’ve helped thousands of Virginia residents.

H&M Logging takes top honor from chamber of commerce 

There’s more to the logging industry than simply logging, so much more, and Kenneth Hodges and H&M Logging are growing to keep pace with the challenges facing the industry. H&M Logging, which has grown from five employees in 1983 to almost 70 employees and to one of the top-four operations of its kind in the region, was honored as Business of the Year by the Halifax County Chamber of Commerce during the chamber’s annual meeting on Thursday at The Prizery. H&M Logging makes contributions to the Halifax County High School robotics program, to area fire departments, the Halifax County-South Boston YMCA, and The Prizery among many others, according to presenter Robert Smith, CEO and owner of Grand Springs, whose business won the award last year. Starting in 1983, the operation had four employees, one pickup truck and two 10-wheel trucks with which it hauled wood, according to owner Hodges, and the multi-million operation now employs over 70 people and has 27 tractor-trailer trucks and 120 trailers of all types.

Philippians 4:13 (NLT) “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”

Mr. Hicks, a former tax preparer, inspired me with his demeanor. I would go to his office, as a teenager with my parents. Mr. Hicks always displayed a sense of humility with his clients. He demonstrated a compassion for his clients. He loved his work. He had so much patience for his clients. He planted a seed in my mind. My involvement with this profession began in 1972. My accounting professor at DCC prepared my individual taxes for me, I reviewed his work and realized that I was able to do the same thing. That is when my I really made up my mind to follow in this profession.
