National law firm Saul Ewing has opened an Atlanta office with senior attorneys from several prominent city law firms and plans to quickly recruit more local talent.
After a large pine fell and crushed a pickup truck, the tree debris blocked a southeast Atlanta road, and other drivers crashed into the mess left behind.
Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat said a deal to buy the Atlanta City Detention Center would help the county comply with a legal agreement to improve jail conditions.
Negotiations are still underway, but if the sale goes through, city leaders would likely keep a reduced staff and continue housing Atlanta’s detainees at the facility.
