Two attorneys from the Jackson, Mississippi law firm Derek L. Hall, P.C. have been selected for inclusion in the 33rd edition of The Best Lawyers in America, 2027 Edition. Firm founder Derek L. Hall will be recognized in the field of personal injury litigation, while Jennifer G. Hall will be recognized in employment law and labor and employment litigation.
The recognition comes from a peer review process that Best Lawyers describes as 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. According to the organization's website, attorneys are nominated by their peers, who then provide feedback on the strength of their work. Voters are asked, "If you were unable to take a case yourself, how likely would you refer it to this nominee?" Responses are rated on a scale of one to five, and additional comments may be included. After collecting and reviewing the feedback, Best Lawyers confirms that nominees are in good standing with their local bar associations before notifying them of their inclusion.
Derek L. Hall, the founder and managing partner of the firm, brings more than 30 years of legal experience to his practice, which encompasses personal injury, divorce, family law, criminal defense, real estate, and veterans' benefits. He is certified as a Guardian Ad Litem by the state of Mississippi and is VA Accredited by the Veterans Administration. He holds memberships in the Mississippi, Georgia, and American Bar Associations and has secured millions in verdicts and settlements for his clients.
Jennifer G. Hall is dual-licensed in Mississippi and Tennessee and has years of legal experience. She is a fellow of the Mississippi Bar Foundation and has served as president of the Young Lawyers Division. She has chaired multiple Mississippi Bar committees and received the Distinguished Service Award in 2022.
"From everyone at our firm, we want to give a huge thank you to all of our peers who voted for us, and to Best Lawyers for recognizing the incredible work done by our colleagues in our community," Derek Hall said. "I've always felt a calling to help those who couldn't help themselves, and this honor reflects years of hard work from everyone at the office to help those in need. Whether it's a car accident, a child custody dispute, or a denial of veterans' benefits, we are here for you."
Derek L. Hall, P.C. is a full-service law firm. According to their website, their Jackson, MS personal injury attorneys fight for maximum compensation for victims of car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle wrecks, and other preventable accidents across Mississippi. The firm also assists clients with divorce, child custody disputes, and other family matters, as well as veterans' benefits claims and real estate matters.
