We’re happy to announce a big win in a recent jury trial! Lee Niedrach, assisted by Trey Newton as second chair, represented the estate of a man whose alleged girlfriend sued, claiming the decedent promised he would leave his home to her after he died. She asked the jury to award her the home or, alternatively, for more than $1 million from the estate.
During the three-day trial, evidence showed she lied about the promise. The jury sided fully with the estate and awarded her nothing. The house has now been sold, and we can gladly report that a six-figure check from the sale proceeds was mailed this week directly to the decedent’s chosen beneficiary, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
We’re excited to announce that MSP, led by partners Chris Jackson and Virginia Harman, has been selected to serve as the new legal counsel for Gordon County!
After nearly eight years of Jim Ledbetter serving in the dual role of County Attorney and Administrator, Gordon County has decided to split these responsibilities to better manage their growing legal needs. We’re honored to step in and provide our expertise as the county continues to experience rapid population, retail, and industrial growth.
As Chris said, “I’m grateful we’re coming in at a time that we still have Jim as a person to lean on, to talk to, and to strategize with, to make sure that we’re doing the right thing for the folks of Gordon County.”
MSP also represents various other government entities, including Floyd County, the cities of Cedartown, Rockmart, Temple, Buchanan, and Tallapoosa, as well as the State of Georgia as Special Assistant Attorneys General for land acquisition and condemnation matters.
We are thrilled to announce that our amazing Office Manager, Courtney Shepard, has been named “Young Professional of the Year” by the Rome Floyd Chamber!
At yesterday’s packed annual Chamber meeting, Courtney was recognized for her outstanding contributions to the community. Her dedication, professionalism, and leadership make her truly deserving of this prestigious honor.
