McRae, Smith, Peek, Harman & Monroe, LLP is pleased to announce the election of Linton S. Johnson, III as Partner at the firm as of January 1, 2022. After nearly a decade of litigation practice in the metro-Atlanta area, Lint began working for the firm in 2016. His experience in a multitude of courtrooms around the state of Georgia has provided for an expansion of his practice areas to include domestic/family law, criminal defense, probate disputes, commercial and business litigation, creditor collections, condemnations, and local government law.
Lint is a “Double Dawg”, having earned both his undergraduate and law degrees at the University of Georgia, the 2021 College Football National Champions. He currently serves as the Vice-President of the Rome Bar Association, is a graduate of Leadership Rome, Class XXXVI, and is a Board Member of Open Door Home, a non-profit which provides for the needs of underprivileged older children and teenagers of Northwest Georgia.
Lint basks in spending his free time with his two beautiful daughters, Emory (10) and Kennedy (8). They all enjoy weekend soccer tournaments, camping/hiking, Georgia football, and trying to outsmart each other in a game of chess.
MSP Partner Chris Jackson recently settled a personal injury case for $125,000 on behalf of a local driver. Chris’s client’s vehicle was struck on the driver’s side door when the at-fault driver failed to yield while turning onto Turner McCall Boulevard. The client sustained cracked ribs and a broken finger, but has thankfully made a full recovery.
MSP and Partner Virginia Harman were honored to host a reception on November 17, 2021 for Mark Ponter one of the Directors The African Wildlife Foundation. In his “Sikeleli Talk” Mark spoke eloquently and passionately about efforts to preserve iconic species such as the rhino which are being targeted for their horns by poachers throughout Africa. The horn is sold in Asian markets as an aphrodisiac despite being nothing more than keratin, the same thing your finger nails are made of. These same Asian markets pose a threat to fresh water turtles and black bears here in the Southeast. The International Anti-Poaching Foundation’s all woman ranger squad known as the Askashinga, shown in the photo, have been uniquely successful and Mark explained that the all-female units have been used as a model around Africa to fight poaching.
