We’re pleased to announce that our newest associate, Bennett Vest, was sworn in to practice law in Georgia on September 30 by Judge Murphy in Polk County Superior Court in Cedartown. MSP partner Mike McRae introduced Bennett to the Court and spoke on his behalf during the ceremony. Having recently passed the Georgia Bar Examination, Bennett is now authorized to practice law in Georgia’s trial courts.
Bennett is a 2019 honor graduate of Rockmart High School and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Georgia, where he studied journalism and political science. He earned his law degree from Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law this spring, where he was a member of the American Journal of Trial Advocacy. While at UGA, Bennett also served as a student equipment manager for the Bulldogs’ 2021 and 2022 national championship teams.
Please join us in congratulating Bennett and welcoming him to MSP!
MSP partners Trey Newton and Lee Niedrach recently obtained a favorable jury verdict for family members defending against an adverse possession claim involving a large tract of family property.
Trey, as lead counsel, and Lee were able to show that the claimant’s longstanding use of the property had been allowed by the other family members rather than adverse to their ownership.
After deliberations spanning two days, the jury returned a verdict in favor of our clients.
Congratulations to Trey and Lee on a great result.
We’re pleased to share three recent personal injury settlements by MSP Partner Jule Peek and Associate Kelsey Allred, totaling nearly $200,000 for our clients. In one case, Jule and Kelsey secured the maximum settlement of $100,000 from the at-fault driver’s insurance for a client who was injured in an car collision in Polk County. Jule and Kelsey also settled two additional car wreck cases for the maximum insurance limits available, one for $65,000 and the other for $25,000. MSP paralegals, Jessica Gallmon and Ashley Furr, provided litigation support and helped resolve the clients’ medical liens. Please call us today for a free consultation and evaluation of your case if you or a loved one have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence.
