Georgia GOP Chairman owes Law Firm $340k for defense of Discrimination Charge
Last edited Sat Jun 25, 2016, 04:47 PM - Edit history (1)
John Padgett has gotten sued again, this time by the law firm that was defending him on a charge of race discrimination:
The head of the Georgia GOP has reneged on more than $340,000 in outstanding legal fees owed to a law firm that’s representing him in a high-profile discrimination lawsuit, according to a legal complaint filed this month.
The Atlanta law firm Fisher & Phillips said in the complaint filed in Athens-Clarke County Superior Court that John Padgett refused to pay the fees he incurred after he was sued by former Georgia GOP employee Qiana Keith. In a lawsuit, Keith claimed the organization’s employees humiliated her and referred to her with a racial slur.
