This Christmas, all Drama wants is a brand new bed to rip apart — because the first 3 didn’t last long at all. Her most favorite thing to do, and we mean MOST favorite, is drink water … but most of it falls out of her mouth if she sees any toes walk by.

Wiggam Law's Pet of the Month, Andromeda

Every month, Wiggam Law donates $1,000.00 to a charitable organization selected by an employee of the firm. For October, Executive Assistant Kaila Thompson has chosen The American Cancer Society to honor her mother, who passed away from breast cancer in 2021.

Wiggam Pets of the Month

Say hello to Wiggam Law’s Pet of the Month: Bartholomew!

Bartholomew is a baby red-eared slider turtle who belongs to associate attorney Lloyd Mohney. It was love at first sight when Lloyd stumbled upon a man peddling turtles outside of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium after a Falcons game. Though the Falcons may have lost, Lloyd won that day after finding his new best reptilian friend.

Bartholomew enjoys doing a whole lot of nothing. Exhausted from his full-time job of sitting there and looking cute, Bartholomew spends most of his days basking under his sunlamp and keeping Lloyd company.
