Big Changes In Local Law Firm!

Well, it seems some big changes are taking place in a local law firm that has gone unreported in the local media. The law offices of Harwell, Plant and Williams is now Williams only. Seems between an ugly divorce and huge law suit filed against Mr Williams for unprofessional representation, Mr. Williams and Mrs Vicky are now on their own.

What does this have to do with anything? You are a sorry gossip Barrett. There is a big difference between reporting news and spreading gossip. I think you need to spend more time reading the bible if you want to get to heaven one day. I feel that it may be way too late for you.

I don't care for the Harwells, but I feel like you cross boundaries with your nonsense. You will pay dearly for your actions.

I hope they trash your family! You are low piece of scum Barrett! And I hope the town puts you on the fast train out. Crap like this is why you are not now and never will be anybody respectable in our town. Lowlife who has no life other than to find and spew juicy gossip. You hate the son because he whipped you and made you look like the whiney baby you are in court more than once.

Whoa! Someone is really taking this news personal. I don't see anything in the statement that should make someone that angry. Is it untrue? If Barrett is telling lies that is one thing but if he told the truth, big deal, everyone knows all this already. Why get so upset?

Sure is good to see all that Harwell love on display.
Read the Bible to get to Heaven, really?
Go to hell for posting this information,really?
Is Gen. Patraus affair any of our business? Isn't that the main thing on the news for the last few days?
Most people have known about the divorce for a long time.
If there is a lawsuit why wasn't it in the paper, they told about the Doctor's lawsuit and the one against Barrett, why should this one be any different?
I don't see anything that Barrett wrote that is anywhere near as bad as the hate written by some posters on this topic.
I wonder along with 6:21 why some are taking this so personally unless of course they happen to be family members and based on the infantile comments about Heaven and Hell I can imagine which one wrote it.

How does Barrett find out all this stuff? Seems like he knoes more than anybody what’s going on and lets people know without even charging a dollar like the paper but guess not having sports fill the whole blog makes a difference.

Allen, I have considered you as a friend for a long time. I have shared with you and given you information that was helpful on this blog. I would like to think that this blog could be used for all good in letting people know how our local government and state officials are betraying us. You keeping people advised on our local budget and scandals with our tax dollars is something I think that you have done a good job with. But Allen I have to draw the line on friendship when you continue to run this blog as a trash blog. How would you like for things to be printed about your family that is known to some people. You have a granddaughter that has been talked about but that hasn't been brought up by anyone because they don't want this trash going on. But you continue to hound the Harwells for no reason other than spite. Allen be the Christian man you claim to be on Sundays and lay off of people personally and give us some news about our county that we can read about and have you scoping out the truth.
You know who I am and I hope that you will respect our friendship enough to stop trash and give us some news about our tax dollars and fraud all around. You'be beaten a dead horse to death.

All these bad comments are as bad as Barrett telling about the change in the law firm. Just wish he had said who got a divorce. Also who is the Harwell lawyer in this firm? Who was Plant?
I know Williams is Vicky's son and he is a lawyer.

The one who posted at 1:01 is a liar. I happen to be the one Barrett and his one or two close allies have sarcastically called a Christian gentleman. That's what I am, and they can't seem to stand it.
I just wanted you all to know that I never said those horrible things about you. It's just a rotten shame that these people keep on doing these things.
I think it is about as low as one can go to post personal matters on a public bnog. What about that, Barrett? Would you agree with me on that?

I've been paying taxes since I was 13 yrs old, so I've paid into the programs. According to your previous statement, you excelled in escaping your own smelly farts. My, your parents must be so proud.

You still didn't say where you finished, is there some reason for that? Shame, perhaps?

Wednesday, December 05, 2012 8:56:00 PM I don't know you are Ray. From what I'm reading Ray must not be 65 years old but drawing disability.
8:56 what if something bad happen to you and you had to go on disability?
Isn't that what it's for? We all pay in and are allowed to draw when we become of retirement age or if the man dies his wife and minor children draw his SS. Do you not like that?
There is an old saying, "what goes around comes around." I would be afraid to say anything it could easily happen to you or someone you love.

Thanks for your voice of reason, 3:31. Evidently there are folks on here who think my situation was of my own choosing; not the case. We play the hand we are dealt and none of us know what the next card will be.

I paid into the program for over 30 yrs and I'll be damned if I'm going to be ashamed of using it when I need it. BTW, I pay taxes as well, every time I purchase anything, just like the rest of y'all.

I do not know Ray but just because he is on disability does not make him a bad person. I know several people who are on disability but they would give anything to be able to work. They are in pain 24/7 and would trade with you "tax payers" any day. I work and have since I was a teenager except for giving birth. I have never been on welfare of any king. Are there lazy people who draw disability, sure but don't punish the people who deserve it just because of those who take advantage.
