A metro Atlanta attorney has secured a six-figure settlement for a small-town client falsely arrested and charged with possessing child pornography in connection to screenshots stored within and reported by a cloud-based image and video-hosting service.

Thomas D. Church of the Church Law Firm in Roswell credits the $500,000 settlement with the city of Thomasville to his ability to convey his client’s claims of malicious prosecution through a position paperbacked by clear-cut evidence.
