Fayette, Alabama

Evangelist Willie Ivey announces the release of Are We Guilty?: The Sin of Partial Surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ?, a bold Christian book that calls believers to examine whether they have fully submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in love, unity, and the truth of the Gospel.

Published by City Light Publishers, Are We Guilty? challenges readers to look honestly at the condition of the church and the ways believers may be shaped more by society than by Scripture. With a direct and Scripture-centered message, Ivey addresses the importance of full commitment to Christ, especially in how Christians treat one another across racial, social, cultural, generational, and economic differences.

The book asks a serious spiritual question: if believers call Jesus “Lord,” are they obeying His command to love one another in deed and in truth? Through biblical references, personal reflection, and a strong appeal to the oneness of the Gospel, Ivey urges readers to reject partial surrender and return to the unity Christ prayed for in John 17.

Are We Guilty? explores themes of Christian obedience, spiritual blindness, Gospel unity, brotherly love, repentance, and the need for believers to become doers of the Word rather than hearers only. Ivey calls the church to recognize division as a spiritual problem and to take meaningful steps toward reconciliation, humility, and visible love among all members of the body of Christ.Written for Christians, church leaders, ministry workers, and anyone concerned with unity in the church, this book serves as both a warning and an invitation. It reminds readers that the Gospel is not only something to be preached, but something to be practiced through love, sacrifice, acceptance, forgiveness, and obedience.

Are We Guilty? is now available on Amazon in eBook, paperback, and hardcover formats.

Guidry Becomes the Firm's Fourth Partner Alongside World-Class Attorneys Eric J. Troutman, Puja J. Amin and Brittany A. Andres.

Irvine, CA

Powerful litigation attorney and former New Orleans prosecutor Tori L. Guidry–known as the “Dame” of complex litigation– has been elevated to partner after four years in Troutman Amin, LLP’s complex litigation department.

Guidry joined the firm in 2022 after years serving as a felony prosecutor and later a high-profile defense lawyer in New Orleans, Louisiana. Troutman Amin, LLP partners say she brings the grit and dogged determination of a true courtroom hero to the rarified world of complex federal court litigation. 

“Tori is a total killer.  We are a results oriented firm– only the win matters to us.” Troutman Amin, LLP partner Brittany A. Andres said of the elevation. “Tori has delivered win after win year after year. She’s a victory machine. So she is definitely right where she belongs at our side as a partner in this pack of killers we call a law firm.” 

Amongst Guidry’s most notable victories include a decision changing how courts apply the TCPA to text messages, a win opening  regulations on commercial speech, and an order striking entire classes from a TCPA complaint. Each of these victories saved her clients hundreds of millions of dollars in potential exposure.

“She’s just a hell of a lawyer. A true maniac. Totally relentless.” Says Troutman Amin, LLP partner Eric J. Troutman. “She never quits. Never stops. And if you get in her way she’s going to find a way around you or through you. It has just been a fantastic ride watching her put her incredible talent to use for the firm’s clients and now I get to call her my partner. Could not be prouder.” 

But it isn’t just her prowess for winning in litigation that makes her valuable says firm founder Puja J. Amin– it is also her ability to bring people together and solve problems through meticulous attention to detail and wise negotiation.

“Tori has had a massive impact on the DNA of the firm. She’s a true team builder in addition to a monster litigator. She just has a knack for bringing people together so we can work together effectively no matter how tough things get.” Firm founder Puja J. Amin said of the elevation. “We just wouldn’t be who we are as a team without her– and that really make a difference in the high-stakes environment we occupy.  There’s simply no way we could have delivered the consistently tremendous results the firm has delivered for its clients if it wasn’t for her. So happy to call her my partner.” 

In typical Troutman Amin, LLP style the firm elevated Guidry to partner in public fashion– with all four partners executing an amended partnership agreement live during a recording of the firm’s popular Deserve to Win podcast.

Guidry signed the partnership agreement live during the recording.

“We just figured this was such a big moment that we’d want to preserve it on video for all of our clients and supports to share.” Troutman said of the event. “It really hit home in a big way for all of us and I think that comes through when you watch Episode 47 of Deserve to Win on the firm’s YouTube channel.” 

Ultimately, however, Amin views Guidry’s elevation as validation of the firm’s vision and direction– as well as its penchant for rewarding loyal high performers. 

“There’s nothing better than seeing hard work pay off.” Amin concludes. “I am so proud to run a firm where we not only deliver tremendous VALUE and consistent VICTORES to our clients but also take great care of our employees and reward their dedication and loyalty with appropriate elevations and recognition. Its all part of our famous ‘Deserve to Win’ culture that true winners always want to be a part of.” 

Troutman Amin, LLP is a nationally recognized complex litigation and consultancy firm assisting companies with TCPA, CIPA, AI and data privacy issues and lawsuits nationwide. The firm has 12 lawyers in 3 offices and is credited with numerous first-in-the-nation results and victories for its clients.
