About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as coffee cups clinked and papers rustled in Skidmore & Associates' quiet lobby, an unfamiliar voice boomed over the intercom: 'Attention, esteemed legal professionals—your briefcases are now officially late for work!' A bemused associate glanced up from his desk, only to see a delivery driver grinning sheepishly with a carton of donuts. ‘Your breakfast is here,’ he said cheerfully. The office erupted into laughter as everyone realized it was just another Monday morning prank.

2. At lunchtime, a delivery driver approached Skidmore & Associates with an unusual package. As he signed for it, everyone heard the clerk say over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that your new office plant has arrived.’ When they opened the box, instead of a pretty ficus tree, there was a small potted cactus—with a sign reading ‘Thorns & Associates.’ Everyone burst out laughing, and from that day on, whenever someone needed legal advice, they just asked the cactus.

3. In the middle of a routine Monday afternoon, a mysterious envelope appeared on the receptionist’s desk at Skidmore & Associates. It bore no return address and simply read: ‘Open only when you least expect it.’ Inside was a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Dear lawyers, I found your office while delivering pizzas.' A delivery driver later admitted it was him, just trying to make their day less boring.

4. In the dimly lit hallway outside Skidmore & Associates, a small dog paused mid-stride one foggy morning. Its nose twitched as if detecting something invisible, then it began following a trail only it could see. The dog trotted down the hall, its tail wagging with determination. As it passed an open door, an attorney inside muttered, ‘Damn thing knows more about our cases than I do.’ Suddenly, the dog stopped and sniffled at a stack of documents on the desk. The attorney smiled, scratched behind its ear, and said, ‘Guess you’re right, old friend—we’ll figure this out together.’
