Georgia Community Support and Solutions v. Berryhill (Correspondence) [1]

Georgia Community Support and Solutions, Inc. [2] (GCSS), a non-profit organization that provides assistance to disabled adults and their families, sent a cease-and-desist letter to Shirley Berryhill, a mother who made critical comments about GCSS in a web posting and in emails to employees of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution [3] and the Georgia Department of Human Resources [4]. In these communications, Berryhill claimed that her son was receiving poor treatment and care from a GCSS-referred service. After Berryhill refused to retract and apologize for the statements she made, GCSS filed suit. See our related database entry, Georgia Community Support and Solutions, Inc. v. Berryhill (Lawsuit) [5].
