A Letter from the Attorney
Dear Neighbor,
The American Bar Association, in the Preamble to its Model Rules of Professional Conduct, identifies four core roles of an attorney: advisor, advocate, negotiator, and evaluator. To me, these can be summed up in a single word you often hear for attorneys: counsel.
“Counsel” is both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it denotes the professional. As a verb, it carries the weight of careful advice and concern for holistic well-being. I will do more than advise; I will counsel you, applying the full measure of my training and judgment to your matter.
Applied to law, “Counsel” means explaining the law so you understand it, outlining your choices with candor, and walking with you on your journey toward tomorrow. Legal problems are stressful; you do not have to carry that burden alone.
From my home base in Celina, I serve individuals, families, small- and medium-sized businesses, and nonprofits. My practice includes estate planning, probate, mediation, litigation when necessary, contract drafting, and ongoing general counsel. I seek to be your legal counsel for all seasons of life—a steady hand you can rely upon.
I love this work and am passionate about people. I hope you will feel the difference when we meet.
Bring your question—large or small—and we’ll tackle it together.
Sincerely,
David A. Lewis

The Story Behind
“Golden Grain Law”
The name Golden Grain Law grew out of the same place this practice is planted: a community built on fields, families, and steady work over time. The sheaf of wheat in our logo—and the gathered bundle of grain it represents—is a nod to the agricultural roots of our area and to the people here who still value honest labor and long-term stewardship.
Wheat has carried rich symbolism for millennia. In heraldry, a sheaf of grain represents abundance, provision, and strength. In the Bible, harvest imagery is tied to justice, faithfulness, and stewardship.
Our logo is also a promise—a visible commitment to these principles. This firm is grounded in patient preparation, principled decision-making, and a desire to help clients reap the results of wise choices.
The name also reflects how I view my role as counsel. Legal work is like tending a field: clearing ground, planting carefully, watching conditions, and staying with the work until your harvest comes in. My obligation is to stand beside you, helping protect what you are building over the coming years and decades.
There is also a simpler, more personal piece to the story. My wife loved the name “Golden Grain Law.” In our home, that kind of clarity carries real weight. Once she loved it, I knew I needed to look no further.
