Donna brings a wealth of expertise in various legal fields, including mass toxic tort litigation, commercial litigation, and workers' comp business in Mississippi.

  • Santa Claus Existence Dispute: A potential lawsuit questioning Santa's existence sparks a lively debate. Donna highlights legal perspectives on property entry and the relevance of invitations extended to Santa Claus, comparing it to a real Federal Government recognition case.
  • Cookies, Beverage, and Bedtime Discussion: A lighter segment where William recounts the placement of cookies and possibly milk by the Christmas tree, and whether the disappearance of these items constitutes a theft.
  • Santa Claus Lawsuit Discussion: We take a closer look at a lawsuit alleging Santa caused damage to carpets by tracking in soot. The group discusses the lack of evidence and the exaggerated damage claims.
  • Class Action Lawsuit and Legal Insights: The episode concludes with Donna sharing her passion for law and justice. She extends an invitation to listeners for case discussions, and she can be reached directly at 601-519-0324 or 601-668-6076.
