If an injury touches your life, it belongs on this desk.
Five areas of practice, one standard of preparation. Every case is built as though a jury will read it — because insurance companies settle fairly when they believe it will be.
Auto Accidents
The insurance company has a playbook. So do we.
After a wreck, the other driver's insurer moves fast — recorded statements, quick low offers, pressure to sign. Their goal is to close your claim before you know what it's worth. Our goal is the opposite: full medical documentation, a complete picture of your losses, and a demand backed by evidence.
Fifteen years at the state's largest injury firm taught us how insurers value these claims — and how to build them so they have to pay full value. From the first call, you deal with your lawyer, not a case manager.
- Car, SUV, and motorcycle collisions
- Uninsured / underinsured motorist claims
- Rideshare and delivery vehicle wrecks
- Catastrophic injury and permanent disability
Commercial Trucking Accidents
Big trucks, big insurers, bigger stakes.
Trucking cases are a different animal entirely. Federal motor carrier regulations, electronic logging data, and corporate legal teams mean these cases must be investigated immediately — before logs disappear, black-box data is overwritten, and vehicles are repaired.
The trucking company's rapid-response team is on the scene within hours. You deserve the same urgency on your side. We move fast to preserve the evidence that wins these cases — driver logs, maintenance records, and company safety histories.
- 18-wheeler and commercial vehicle collisions
- Driver fatigue and logbook violations
- Improper loading and maintenance failures
- Corporate and federal regulation claims
Premises Liability & Slip/Fall
Property owners are responsible for what they should have fixed.
Mississippi premises liability law requires property owners and businesses to keep their property reasonably safe — and to warn of dangers they know about. Wet floors, broken steps, poor lighting, uneven pavement: when a preventable hazard puts you in the emergency room, that's not an accident. That's negligence.
Premises liability reaches further than a wet floor. Negligent security after an assault in a parking lot, a collapsing deck at a rental house, an unfenced swimming pool, a dog the owner knew was dangerous — if you were hurt because someone failed to keep their property safe, the law has a name for that. These cases are won on evidence gathered early: incident reports, surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements. The sooner we start, the stronger the case.
- Slip, trip, and fall injuries
- Negligent security and assaults on property
- Apartment, rental, and retail hazards
- Broken stairs, rails, decks, and walkways
On-the-Job Injuries
You gave your work your body. The law says your work owes you back.
Mississippi workers' compensation covers medical treatment and a portion of lost wages when you're hurt on the job — no matter who was at fault. But carriers deny valid claims every day: disputing whether the injury happened at work, cutting off treatment early, or pushing you back before you're ready.
We handle the claim from the first report through hearings before the Workers' Compensation Commission, and we look beyond comp when a third party — a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or driver — shares the blame.
- Denied or delayed workers' comp claims
- Construction and industrial injuries
- Repetitive stress and occupational illness
- Third-party claims beyond comp benefits
Wrongful Death
Nothing replaces a life. Justice can still protect the family left behind.
When negligence takes a family member, Mississippi law allows certain survivors to bring a wrongful death claim — for lost income and support, funeral expenses, and the loss of companionship, guidance, and love. These are the hardest cases we handle, and we treat them that way.
Families in grief shouldn't have to fight insurance adjusters. We take that fight off your shoulders, handle every detail with discretion, and keep you informed at every step — at your pace, not ours.
- Fatal car and trucking collisions
- Workplace and industrial fatalities
- Dangerous premises and negligent security
- Compassionate guidance for surviving family
Injured? Let's talk about it.
The consultation costs you nothing. The conversation might change everything. Call, dial, or write — you'll speak with someone who knows your name.

Social Security Disability
Denied? Most people are — the first time.
The Social Security Administration denies the majority of initial SSDI applications, often for technical reasons that have nothing to do with whether you can actually work. The system rewards persistence and punishes paperwork mistakes.
We handle applications, reconsiderations, and hearings before administrative law judges — building the medical record, working with your doctors, and presenting your limitations the way the SSA requires them to be proven. You pay no fee unless you win, and fees are set by federal law.
