We’re very excited to announce that Lester Tate has been asked to serve on the United States District Court’s Magistrate Judge Merit Selection Panel for the Northern District of Georgia.

“I think that deep down, being a small-town lawyer with a statewide or national reputation is now and has always been my dream.”

Check out Lester’s interview with Dale Russell, regarding the lawsuit filed yesterday on behalf of the Araim family, who has suffered unthinkable tragedy through the deadly mix of guns and alcohol.
