Keith, Sarah and Shannon are amazing at what they do...They treat you just like family and are always there for you..... Keith and his firm took care of my Workman's Comp case and got me more that I could have dreamed of. They also took care of my disability case and got it approved first time......I will never use anybody else.....

Keith NEVER left any stone unturned when he handled our case. He was bold like a lion, aggressive like a tiger. One day, when he had to meet a dateline, he drove over 300 miles round trip so that the filling could be done. On another occasion he risked arrest to make sure that our voice could be heard. Our case needed multiple appeals and he went through them without bothering us with the details. We needed somebody to speak for us and he more than accomplished that for us. He was a good listener whose ultimate goal was to do what we wanted. His co-counsel, Sarah, despite the fact that she was a young female, apparently learned well from him because she was as aggressive, effective and efficient as he was. We totally appreciated and their well organized and well seasoned tandem operations. Our case took a couple of years and they were NEVER tired of us or showed any type of resentment, fatigue or unwillingness to fight on. They always welcome our input and worked toward our goal. During the process, we learned a lot about the law and how some of the tenets of law are interpreted. In other words, they educated us on what the outcomes might be and what our expectations should be. We became informed clients which helped our working relationship. By the time the case was over, we were like family to them because of the professional way they handled everything and the way they treated us with courtesy and dignity. Our opponents got to respect us and the experience changed the way they conducted their business. This was not the only case we had with the opponent but this set the tone and has tremendously influenced the way the other cases are unfolding. When I met Keith the first time, I told him that I wanted him to give us a voice. At the end, he gave us more than a voice. He gave us a platform, he gave us power that we never knew we had, he gave me freedom to be able to look our enemies right in the face and tell him exactly how we feel about them. The education we got from Keith and Sarah has propelled us in to a place we never knew we dare dream to be. The crowning moment came last year when my niece was deposed by one of the attorneys in another segment of the case. The attorney told her: you should seriously consider going to Law School. I believe you would make a formidable attorney. That was nothing short of the training she got from both attorneys of the Pearson Law firm. We love them, have kept in touch with them since the case ended. We unreservedly recommend them to anybody who needs a well seasoned attorney who would handle their case or cases as if that was their only case. One thing I know is the fact that they will leave there much more educated than they got in. We will not hesitate to reach out again to them if we needed other representation. It might help to know that their office was at least 180 miles from my home. That, in itself shows the obstacle that we had to overcome throughout our interactions. Believe me, that much distance never slowed down the process or affected the thoroughness of their work. As I look back now, I can't help but thank God that our paths crossed and we were privileged to have the luxury of dealing with such fine people.

Unfortunately, in today's world, a professional license can be easily threatened. Mr. Mercier has extensive knowledge of the professional medical boards and can help navigate regulations effectively. He is definitely a people person and cares about his clients. I highly recommend Mr. Mercier for all your professional licensure needs.

I selected this firm to handle the probate of my sister's estate largely due to its convenient location. Turned out to be a very fortuitous choice. John completed the process as quickly as possible and never failed to promptly respond to my questions or concerns as they arose. I highly recommend him for any similar legal services that may be required. He made, what could have been a stressful time, almost a pleasure.

I was recently in a car wreck in Jackson Mississippi. I had major injuries, broken bones, with life-changing neck and back pain and the insurance company would not pay anything for my injuries.

I strongly recommend her.

I met with attorney Tommy Horne today via Zoom, about questions I had regarding the death of a relative and their estate. Mr. Horne was very professional, knowledgeable about Mississippi laws regarding estates, and helpful with suggestions about how I needed to proceed. He answered all my questions, and was friendly and easy to communicate with.
I was impressed with how he didn't seem rushed or aware of the time, and that he was interested in helping me. He emailed or texted documents that I need, and made sure I understood how to use them.
I recommend him and Zoom consultations with him.

I wanna say josh saved my life. I made some bad choices that almost cost me years of my life. I had a horrible record but I wasn’t living that way any more. He fought tooth and nail for me. Great defense attorney and a blessing to my life. Best choice I ever made in a defense attorney and one of the best young defense attorneys I have seen by far. I won’t ever be in that situation again but, if you are, this is the man you want on your side of the table. Thanks Josh.

I retained Missy at the recommendation of a friend. Best thing I ever did. Missy went to bat for me above and beyond anything I could have dreamed of. I had been in a wreck and originally had not planned on retaining an Attorney. Within an hour of retaining her I was being taken care of like I was family. If I ever need an Attorney again I know the first person I'll call. Missy and her staff are professional and kind and you just feel how much they care about you. If you ever need an Attorney look no further than Mamma Justice!

As a student in her first car wreck, I didn’t know what to do after I was involve din a rear end collision. Kegan got me setup with a doctor the same day and guided me throughout the entire process. I thank him so much for getting my case settled for more than I could have imagined.
When I got injured at work, I didn’t know what my rights were or how to file a claim. This firm took care of everything. They handled all the paperwork, dealt with the insurance company, and ensured I received my benefits on time. They really took the weight off my shoulders, allowing me to focus on my recovery.
I had an amazing experience with this firm after I slipped and fell at an oil change location.
Being involved in a truck accident was terrifying. Me and my son were rear ended by a truck that just kept going after he hit us. Kegan secured a settlement that covered all my expenses and more, thanks again y’all!
I was rear-ended on my way to work, and the injuries I sustained were more serious than I initially thought.
We were hit by a drunk driver with me and my five grand children, Kegan made sure we were all treated and represented! I definitely will recommend him and his firm in the future..

We hired him for a case for my father. He missed every (2-3) court hearing with no explanation of why. Even the judge was just baffled at the second time of no appearance. No communication. Very snappy when asked for updates after not showing up to court and/or hearing from him for weeks. When I asked for updates or had questions I was told I needed to be patient when I was in fact very very patient. We quite literally wasted 2500 (down payment) because we ended up having to find another attorney to work his case. Mind you this case was for someone incarcerated in the ADC. He never once and still to the day of being fired 4 months in didn’t go talk to his CLIENT. I had to pay for his call for him to speak to my father and then he never answered when he called. It was a legit nightmare. Save your money!!!

I was using him for a DUI saw him in court on another misdemeanor, he seen my name on the docket and pulled me up. They were about to take my license for 6months. He asked me the cops name and after I told him he walked back within minutes saying that they were going to throw it out as long as I stayed out of trouble for three months. I have been in a lot of court rooms and I ain’t never seen anyone that works magic like he does. You can’t go wrong using this guy. He will get you the best outcome for sure, don’t waste your money on anyone else.

I would highly recommend Attorney Edward T Polk to everyone I know. He’s very considerate about his clients needs and goes above and beyond to make sure he gets the job done. From the day I initially spoke to him, he treated me like a client before I even became one. He was always available to me whenever I had a question, whether by phone or email, while also making sure my concerns were met each time. Nowadays, it’s hard to find an attorney who finds the time to speak to their clients personally. If you’re looking for an Attorney who will give you their full attention, then Attorney Edward T Polk is the person the hire. He will not stir you wrong nor allow the other party to treat you unfairly during the process.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.

How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
- Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
