MSP’s Chris Jackson serves on the Heart of the Community Board which honored 11 unsung heroes in our community this past weekend for their service. The annual event also promotes heart health in support of February as Heart Month. Chris was the Chair of the Heart of the Community Heart Walk-Cycle-Paddle which is a healthy kick-off to the Heart of the Community where participants may walk, cycle or kayak through downtown Rome. Despite the chilly temperatures on Saturday morning, a large crowd gathered for the Heart Walk-Cycle-Paddle which also serves as a fundraiser for the organization. The Heart of the Community Foundation awarded over $61,000.00 in grants to local non-profits this weekend so that they can continue to do great work in Rome and Floyd County.
MSP is pleased to announce the election of Lee Niedrach as Partner at the firm as of January 1, 2019. Lee’s practice focuses heavily on litigation and he advises clients on a wide range of disputes, from personal injury to complex contract disputes to domestic relations. He routinely handles cases all the way from seeking efficient resolution at the negotiation phase through trial and, when necessary, the appellate court level. Lee’s client-focused mentality has resulted in numerous 5 and 6 figure settlements for injured victims. Lee holds an AV Preeminent Peer Review rating by Martindale-Hubbell.
Lee is a “double dawg” having earned both his undergraduate and law degree at the University of Georgia. Lee was a summer associate at MSP during law school. After graduating, Lee joined MSP as a full-time associate in 2012.
Lee is a graduate of Leadership Rome, Class XXXIV, and he was chosen as one of Rome Life’s 2017 20-Under-40. Lee is an avid volunteer with several non-profits throughout Rome, and regularly serves in leadership roles in organizations such as the Family Resource Center and the Hospitality House for Women. Lee and his wife Christine enjoy hiking, traveling and exotic food.
Virginia Harman spoke this week at the retirement party held for the Honorable Tambra P. Colston, Superior Court of Floyd County. Virginia recounted the strong leadership exhibited by Judge Colston across her storied career, from arguing (and winning) a case before the Supreme Court of the United States to serving as District Attorney of Floyd County to her election as Superior Court Judge. Judge Colston’s crowning achievement on the bench is undoubtedly the founding of the Floyd County Drug Court, which provides a unique and effective approach to those afflicted with addiction problems resulting in criminal charges. Congratulations to Judge Colston, and thank you for your career of service to our community. MSP wishes you the best of luck in the many meaningful endeavors that lie ahead!
