The Eleventh Circuit upheld a jury’s determination that DeKalb County police officers violated the rights of Follies nude dancing club during a warrantless raid in which nearly three-dozen officers, some dressed in battle fatigues and masks, swarmed the club, handcuffed its co-owners and photographed each dancer.

A jury last year awarded just over $10,000 to the club, but Northern District Judge Leigh May granted almost $280,000 in attorney fees and expenses to their lawyers, Edmond, Lindsay & Atkins partner William Atkins; Wiggins Law Group principal Cary Wiggins; and Zack Greenamyre with Mitchell & Shapiro.
