Most of the folks in the office are pretty nice but there’s one or two that’ll cop an attitude if you ask them for help.

I'll have to say The Honorable Judge. Michael Duncan is about handling business. Right now I'm on the level of balancing my children's life long distance as well as mines here. I'm simply looking for a Square deal, Not looking for justice or injustice we have to grow Mississippi. I'm here to build it!.
