Bullets Shot at Fulton County Courthouse Window

Posted on March 26, 2010
As a plaintiff's personal injury trial lawyer in Atlanta who frequents the Fulton County Courthouse, the story below scares me. Bullets were shot through one window of the 8th floor of the Fulton County Courthouse. This is the floor that houses the Fulton County Sheriff's Department and has the walkover to the old Fulton County Superior Court, the same walkover that Brian Nichols used for his escape five years ago...

Toyota Not Out of the Woods Yet

Posted on March 10, 2010
If I were a Toyota owner (I am NOT), I would still be a little apprehensive about whether Toyota really has fixed the problem with millions of their cars. The latest scare, yesterday in California, involved a runaway PRIUS, with the driver having no brakes and the accelerator stuck at speeds of up to 94 m...

Chrysler Sebring Defective

Posted on March 01, 2010

Too Little Too Late for Toyota?

Posted on February 23, 2010
Finally! Toyota apologizes to the American public for selling us dangerous cars and keeping it secret from us when Toyota KNEW they were accidents looking for a place to happen.Yet Toyota still has yet to come 100% clean, in denying anything is wrong with their cars' electronic throttle system, when all evidence points to the contrary...

Texting While Driving Proposed Legislation in Georgia Legislature

Posted on January 15, 2010

Georgia Physicians Shouldn't Get Special Treatment Over All Other Georgia Citizens

Window Blinds Recalled

Posted on December 15, 2009
