Attorney Harold Spence Resolves Lisa Williams Case With $500K Settlement

When a speeding City of Atlanta patrol car ran a red light, without its siren or flashing lights in operation, and crashed into the passenger side of Ms. Lisa Williams' vehicle her life changed forever. To get the City of Atlanta to pay what it legally and morally owed to Lisa William it was necessary to file a suit and litigate the case. On the one year anniversary of Ms. Williams’ tragic and preventable injury we successfully resolved the lawsuit against the City of Atlanta for $500,000, the maximum amount available under the law. Through her adversity, she has inspired our law firm and continues to inspire others who have the good fortune to get to know her. Our law firm is honored to have had the opportunity to represent her and embrace her as part of our law firm’s extended family.

Activism Through the Arts

Giwayen Mata performer and Davis Bozeman Business Manager, Nneka Kelly, performed June 27, 2019 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in tandem with the opening of the exhibit Controlled Burn-Idle Crimes & Heavy Work choreographed by Dr. Julie B. Johnson in collaboration with Giwayen Mata. The performance installation supplemented an exhibit built around the often overlooked history of black women's incarceration and conviction leasing in Georgia, the narratives of gender and racial violence, and modes of resistance and restoration. We applaud Nneka Kelly on her outstanding work and for utilizing her art to share our stories.

Controlled Burn Exhibit Dates: 6/27/2019- 8/24/2019

One of Davis Bozeman's Pre-litigation Case Managers, Devi Dejakamah was featured on Twitter by WSBTV for supporting the mother of Richard Crawford, a victim killed in a motorcycle accident on March 15, 2018. This incident has prompted policy change as the Fairburn Police Department did not issue a ticket for the driver who ran a stop sign and killed Mr. Crawford. However, with the support of the Davis Bozeman Law Firm spearheaded by Devi Dejakamah charges were brought against the driver. Finally, one year later, the driver appeared in court and entered a guilty plea. We applaud Devi for her selfless support and advocacy as this mother fought for justice and policy change.
