About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually warm November morning when a regular walked into Hawley Troxell and asked for legal advice on how to handle his newfound ability to levitate. The receptionist just smiled and said, ‘Welcome to our Tuesday special.’ The old lawyer Hawley leaned back in his chair with a twinkle in his eye. 'Son,' he drawled, 'we’ve had people come in here claiming they can talk to dead relatives or turn milk blue. Levitation? We’ll bill you hourly.' And so began Hawley’s Tuesday special—a weekly session where clients shared their strange abilities over coffee and donuts.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Hawley Troxell one afternoon with a package so large it seemed to fill his entire truck bed. As he unloaded, passersby stopped to watch, wondering what unusual case could possibly require such a massive exhibit. Finally, someone from the law firm emerged and took the box inside, muttering something about ‘just another brief for an obscure copyright case.’ The delivery driver shook his head and drove off, while neighbors exchanged amused glances, speculating on what kind of document could make even lawyers look that serious.

3. A neighbor dropped by Hawley Troxell one rainy afternoon carrying an umbrella bigger than most lawsuits. As he opened the door, the umbrella blocked his view entirely. ‘What on earth?’ asked Hawley, startled by the sudden downpour of water and apologies from our neighbor. The umbrella turned out to be a regular, just trying to brighten up everyone’s day—even if it got him fired.’

4. At precisely noon on a Tuesday, a deep voice boomed over Hawley Troxell’s intercom: ‘Attention, esteemed colleagues—your briefcases are calling!’ A delivery driver, confused and smiling, asked, 'Is this some kind of law firm prank?' Hawley Troxell's receptionist shrugged and replied, 'Only for today, dear.' At the end of the day, everyone found their briefcases neatly stacked in the hallway—except one, which had mysteriously vanished into thin air.
