We are thrilled to announce the 2025 Best Lawyers® Awards!
Two of our attorneys were named “2025 Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers. Only one lawyer in each area of practice is honored as “Lawyer of the Year” in their community. These attorneys are Donald “Bo” Kirkpatrick, II in Birmingham, AL (Workers’ Compensation Law – Employers) and Edward C. Taylor in Gulfport, MS (Litigation – Insurance).
Additionally, 53 of the firm’s attorneys have been selected for inclusion in the 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in America and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch.
Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review. The process is designed to capture the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area.
Congratulations to ALL!
