See You In Court

The Kathryn Johnston case required more than outrage over what happened. It required careful legal work, coordinated effort and a willingness to uncover the facts.

In this clip, Nick Moraitakis explains how the attorneys representing Ms. Johnston’s family worked together, divided up the issues and handled the many depositions needed to build the case.

Robin Frazer Clark also notes the larger impact of that work. The case not only resulted in a settlement for the family, it helped bring attention to serious problems within the Atlanta Police Department’s Red Dog Unit and contributed to broader reform.

This clip highlights the role civil litigation can play in uncovering truth, holding institutions accountable and helping prevent injustice from being ignored.

After two people died in Atlanta’s 1993 Midtown hotel sinkhole disaster, their immigrant families faced more than grief.

One family had difficulty speaking English. Both struggled to understand where to turn. By the time attorneys became involved, many of the region’s leading geotechnical experts had already been retained by the defense.

Nick Moraitakis explains how the case began and why access to experienced legal counsel can matter so much when ordinary families confront powerful institutions and highly technical evidence.

Three police officers went to federal prison following the fatal shooting of Kathryn Johnston, but the civil case demanded answers that went beyond the actions of three individuals.

Nick Moraitakis explains how information provided by two of the officers helped attorneys pursue evidence of an alleged unwritten arrest quota and a broader departmental practice. It is a revealing example of how civil litigation can uncover facts, challenge institutions and pursue accountability after a profound injustice.
