MSP attorney Linton Johnson was recently elected as Secretary of the Rome Bar Association for the 2020-2021 cycle. The Rome Bar meets regularly to address and discuss legal issues of local importance. This gives Members the chance to meet, know and work within the community of Rome lawyers and judges beyond the walls of the office. The Secretary usually goes on to serve as Vice President and then President, effectively making the position a three year commitment.
We are saddened by the loss of Chattooga County Probate Court Judge Jon Payne. His many years on the bench were filled with a generosity of spirit and helpfulness reflective of his life as a public servant. Thank you, Judge Payne, for your long service to the community. To his friends and family, you have our deepest condolences.
Firm Announcement: earlier this evening MSP senior partner Virginia Harman was unanmiously approved as county attorney by the Floyd County Commission, making her the first woman to be appointed to this prestigious position in Floyd County’s 187 year history. Widely regarded as a seasoned counselor and ferocious litigator, Virginia has time and again broken down barriers and shown herself deserving of this and her many other appointed positions. Virginia is also known to be a highly skilled communicator able to convey complex topics in understandable terms to her clients and juries alike. Virginia’s legal skills have proven effective over decades of achieving winning outcomes for her clients. This historical occasion marks another one of many glass ceilings Virginia has shattered over her illustrious career. Congratulations Virginia on this well-deserved achievement!
