When introducing appellate lawyer Michael Terry of Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore at this year’s “big cases” continuing legal education event, Adam Malone of Malone Law said this: “He’s the guy everybody turns to.”

They won a constitutional challenge to that law in 2010 with an opinion written by Georgia Supreme Court Justice Carol Hunstein.
