The accusations surrounding Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis could impact Atlanta's community of lawyers forever, one defense attorney said.

"This case is personal," Noah Pines, an Atlanta-based attorney who has been closely following the case, told newspaper The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday. "This case will, in my opinion, impact the relationship of these lawyers forever. And that's kind of disheartening." Newsweek reached out to Pines via inquiry form for further comment.
