As our one year anniversary approaches, all of us at D’Arcy Vicknair are grateful to have had a successful first year, and we are excited for the future. In under a year, we have been blessed to see the firm grow. And as the firm grows, so must the office space. D’Arcy Vicknair is delighted to share some pictures of the literal expansion of the firm, as our contractors have broken down a wall to give us more office space.
More growth to come. Watch this space.
