Personal Injury
In Mississippi, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three (3) years from the date of the injury. However, certain cases may have shorter deadlines, especially claims against government entities. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to law enforcement, document the scene with photos, exchange information with other drivers, and contact an attorney before giving a recorded statement to any insurance company.
Criminal Defense
Under certain conditions, Mississippi law allows expungement of a first-offense DUI conviction. You must meet specific eligibility requirements including completion of all court-ordered conditions and a waiting period. We can review your case and handle the petition process.
A first-offense DUI can result in fines ranging from $250 to $1,000, up to 48 hours in jail, and driver’s license suspension for up to one year. Penalties increase significantly for subsequent offenses.
