That was where a combination of judges, including Judge Flournoy and Judge George H. Kreeger, enabled the placement of a 15-year-old girl (now 17) into the home of a 42-year-old, not-blood-related and unmarried man. I represented the father in that case.” Here is an excerpt from the “[[The Lion’s Den]]” article published on the [https://mcmasterforcobb.com/why-matt mcmasterforcobb.com] website:
