City attorney demands paper
retract letters
The Peachtree Citizen Review
published a letter on Friday, Feb. 18, 2000, entitled
“City Attorney Appointment Raises
Questions.” The letter accuses me of unethical
behavior by being on the board of a local bank while
being city attorney and implies that I have
improperly profited from my representation of the
City of Peachtree City. The statements and
insinuations contained in the letter are erroneous,
false and libelous. These statements have not only
harmed myself and my family, but as senior partner of
the law firm of Webb, Stuckey & Lindsey, LLC, the
publication of these letters has also harmed the law
firm.
