Rowser- Bey charged with practicing law without license

Thedford A. Rowser-Bey of Demopolis was arrested last week by Clarke County deputies on a grand jury indictment for practicing law without a license.

Rowser-Bey, who describes herself as a legal researcher and consultant, has been assisting Coffeeville residents Rosie Thornton, 82, and her mother, Edna Woodard, 102, in a property dispute.

The two women were recently served with eviction papers and the matter has received a lot of publicity because of their ages.

According to the indictment, Rowser-Bey had been serving as an attorney without a license to practice law.

Thornton and Woodard have also been represented by Selma attorney Collins Pettway.

Rowser-Bey was picked up in Marengo County last Tuesday, March 20.

Once she posted a $1,500 bond in Clarke County, Rowser-Bey was then transported to Washington County where she faced a similar indictment.

Rowser-Bey was appointed chairperson of Black Land Loss and Real Estate Committee by Alabama's NAACP President Edward Vaughn on March 15.

She has been actively pursuing cases in which she says property has been stolen or taken from blacks because of their race.
