The Capitol City Trial Lawyers Association (CCTLA) has honored Stuart Talley, partner at Kershaw Talley Barlow, with the Award of Merit for his exceptional work on the decade-long Wedding v.

Before the second phase could begin, he successfully negotiated a settlement, leading to payments of up to $200,000 per individual class member.
