Pensacola attorneys Troy Rafferty, Mike Papantonio and Peter Mougey talk Aug. 9, 2021, about the firm's work in securing a multi-million dollar award in a nationwide opioid case. The Levin Papantonio Rafferty law firm will be hosting a free People's Law School every Tuesday in September to help people learn about the law.

The Levin, Papantonio, Rafferty personal injury law firm will host free classes to help curious citizens learn more about the law.

"We wanted to bring up the IQ in our community when it comes to how they can protect themselves," Brenton Goodman, an attorney for the law firm, told the News Journal.
