Since last year, economic hardships have only gotten worse for many families, and military veterans and their families are no exception to hard times. That’s why KISS 104.1, Montlick Injury Attorneys, and the Wounded Warrior Project have teamed up again to help 10 veteran families in need. Help us by purchasing a gift from one or more family’s registry.
Montlick Injury Attorneys has a 40-year history of supporting and honoring those who serve our nation and their families who stand behind them. Montlick is deeply thankful to our nation’s heroes and their families and the sacrifices they make for our freedom.
Military families show us what courage, selflessness and resilience truly look like and what it takes to serve. At Montlick, our mission goes beyond legal representation; we believe in protecting and helping families in every sense.
Supporting veterans is at the cornerstone of that commitment. It’s how we live out the firm’s values of compassion, service, and giving back to communities we serve. The firm focuses on helping people rebuild their lives after a hardship and making a difference for others, and that includes the men and women who have served in our country’s military.
Thanks to Montlick Injury Attorneys, Wounded Warrior Project, Georgia Aquarium, and Publix for your contributions to KISS Wish.

She does everything in her power to make sure her kids to live comfortably. They are her world and seeing their smiles every day is what keeps Chaz going.
