Carr Allison is one of the fastest growing firms in theSoutheast. Why? Our clients tell us the fact that we havelawyers with a lifetime of ties in the 6 cities in Alabama,Florida and Mississippi where our offices are located is theprimary reason they come to us for legal problems inthose areas. In Mississippi, we provide litigation servicesto national clients in the southern part of Mississippi fromour offices in Gulfport.
When clients face litigation exposure in Mississippi theyoften hear the horror stories involving the imposition ofpunitive damages. We like to think we “wrote the book”on the subject of punitive damages in Mississippi. For theFall 2003 75th anniversary of the Mississippi Law Journal,
Thomas Carpenter of our Gulfport office teamed up withJudge Louis Guirola of the United States District Court forthe Southern District of Mississippi to write: “PunitiveDamages in Mississippi: What has Happened, What isHappening, and What is Coming Next.”
Senior partner Doug Bagwell has been very active in thebench and bar community of the Gulf Coast of Mississippiand has tried over 100 cases to a conclusion.
With the resources of over 70 lawyers in Alabama,Florida and Mississippi behind it, the Carr Allison officesin Gulfport, Mississippi stands ready to serve the nationaland international client faced with legal exposure insouthern Mississippi.
