The trial court’s denial of class certification was affirmed on appeal by the Georgia Court of Appeals. This victory was significant because Georgia had been a leading jurisdiction favoring the certification of class actions under the TCPA. McGarry v. Cingular Wireless LLC, 267 Ga. App. 23, 599 S.E.2d 34 (2004).

  • Provide a variety of services and representation to victims of Hurricane Katrina and the organizations that assist them. Over a dozen firm lawyers have spent a week each at the New Orleans Pro Bono Project supervising law students who spend their spring and winter breaks working on domestic relations and successions cases for clients of the project. In Mississippi, a team of lawyers donated their legal skills to work with Mississippi Gulf Coast clients who suffered losses as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Others have accepted insurance claim cases from that organization. Another team of firm lawyers is working with the Lawyers Committee on Civil Rights Under Law and in-house lawyers at Citi to advise a nonprofit organization that has designed and will produce green modular housing in Mississippi to replace homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The firm has provided advice in the areas of corporate, tax, intellectual property, construction, environmental, real estate and finance.
  • Represent children and/or their best interests in a variety of settings and courts. Lawyers routinely serve as guardians ad litem, representing the best interests of children in a variety of contexts.
