More than six months after the Georgia Court of Appeals quietly upheld a ruling dumping legal malpractice claims against personal injury firm John Foy & Associates and most of those against two other lawyers and the Atlanta Trial Lawyers Group, the parties will meet next week to discuss what the plaintiffs attorneys concede is “a very small part” of the original case.

“We put up a good fight, but it was not meant to be,” said Atlanta solo Cyprian Tee Okonkwo, who represents the estate administrator of Johnnie Mae Ingram, who died during the pendency of the lawsuit; her executor, Natasha Ingram, is the plaintiff now.
