Ken Reynolds Attorney at Law PC
Former RGG Law PC partner
Ken Reynolds on May 18 launched Ken Reynolds Attorney at Law PC at 1240 E. Independence St., Ste. 200. The new firm comes two months after Parmele Law Firm PC bought Reynolds’ interest in RGG Law PC, and Reynolds said he backed out of the deal in order to be his own boss again. He’s now the sole attorney and employs two in the office. The firm focuses on civil work, including for four cities the attorney represents, with bankruptcy cases handled as needed. In the contract with Parmele Law, Reynolds agreed not to advertise bankruptcy services, but he can still perform them via referral and word of mouth, he said.

Phone: (417) 883-7800.

Baked products range from 75 cents for a single peanut butter and carob cookie to $3.50 for a treat sampler pack or a “lollipaw” – two cookies stuck together with a turkey snack stick in the shape of a lollipop. Taylor is a vendor at the Fair Grove farmers market and also will sell treats at the New Life Church Farmers Market when it opens June 11 at 776 W. Farm Road 186. Taylor has roughly 30 years of culinary experience, including as an independent cake decorator and as a former cook for special needs children through the Developmental Center of the Ozarks.
