John Monroe Law, P.C. handled an appeal for a client who was convicted of various charges and sentenced to 25 years in prison. The firm filed a motion with the court to show that the jury instructions were erroneous and the sentence was therefore illegal. The court vacated the client’s sentence.

John Monroe Law, P.C. got felony charges dismissed for a client who had previously pleaded guilty to those charges. He had been barred from getting a weapons carry license or possessing firearms. As a result of the dismissal, the client was able to pass a background check at a gun store and obtain a firearm.

The Court of Appeals of Georgia agreed with John Monroe Law, P.C., that Thomas Bordeaux, the Judge of the Probate Court of Chatham County, was required to issue a Georgia weapons carry license to a firm client. The client applied for a license in 2019 and Bordeaux denied the application the same day. The firm then sued the probate judge in the Superior Court of Chatham County and obtained a court order (write of mandamus) requiring Bordeaux to issue the license to the client. Bordeaux appealed, but the Court of Appeals agreed with John Monroe Law, P.C.
