Fegan Scott LLP

As we reflect on Juneteenth, we think about a simple but powerful truth: rights that exist on paper mean little if they are not recognized, enforced, and protected in practice.

The reality of Juneteenth reminds us that emancipation was not fully realized when the law was written. Freedom required people willing to act—to insist that the promises embodied in the law become reality. That lesson remains relevant today.

At FeganScott, that reality is reflected in our work every day. This week, we secured a $1.8 million judgment against Jimmie Allen, an important victory for our client Jane Doe 2 in her pursuit of justice. We also filed our motion for summary judgment in a decade-long case against CVS alleging inflated prices for generic prescription drugs. And as July approaches, our team is working tirelessly to prepare for trial against the Missouri Department of Corrections and Centurion arising from the death of Brandon Pace in custody.

These matters are very different, but they share a common thread: laws and legal rights matter only when people are willing to enforce them. Progress depends not just on what is written, but on what we are willing to do to ensure those protections are real.

We honor the history and legacy of Juneteenth and the generations of advocates whose actions transformed legal promises into lived freedoms. Take time to reflect, educate, and celebrate Black history and resilience. 🖤💚❤️

⚖️ Significant Court Victory in the Case of Brandon Pace



A federal court has ruled that key claims in our lawsuit over the death of Brandon Pace will move forward to trial.



Mr. Pace died while incarcerated at Missouri’s Tipton Correctional Center after ingesting a substance, being pepper sprayed, and receiving grossly inadequate medical care. In a substantial ruling, the Court found that a jury should decide whether medical personnel were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs and whether Centurion, the prison's healthcare provider, and its nursing staff failed to properly train staff and maintain constitutional practices.



Claims including deliberate indifference, failure to train, wrongful death, loss of chance of recovery, and punitive damages will now proceed to trial in July 2026.



We are proud to represent Brandon's family and remain committed to seeking accountability and justice on their behalf.
