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!

Rob Monroe recently settled a workers compensation claim for $70,000 on behalf of a client who was injured after being struck by a forklift while working for a subcontractor of a local tire manufacturer. The claimant was also a forklift driver who suffered a significant back injury in the incident, and is permanently restricted to light duty work. Prior to resolving this claim, Rob also obtained a $100,000 settlement for a long-log truck driver who seriously injured his shoulder in a work-related trucking accident that occurred in April of 2016. The claimant in this case had driven log trucks his entire life, but was unfortunately unable to go back to work after his injury. Please call or email Rob if you or someone you know needs assistance with a work-related injury.
