Two attorneys from the Jackson, Mississippi law firm Derek L. Hall, P.C. have been recognized in the upcoming 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 is based on a pure peer review system, as described on the Best Lawyers website. The process begins with nominations from attorneys, followed by feedback from colleagues who rate the nominee’s professional abilities. According to the website, 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. Voters are asked how likely they would be to refer a case to the nominee, and their responses are collected and reviewed. Nominees are also checked for good standing with their local bar associations before being notified of their inclusion.
Derek L. Hall, founder and managing partner, has over 30 years of legal experience. His practice areas include 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 is a member of the Mississippi, Georgia, and American Bar Associations and has obtained 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 and chaired multiple Mississippi Bar committees. In 2022, she received the Distinguished Service Award.
Derek Hall expressed his gratitude for the recognition. “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,” he 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.”
This recognition highlights the firm’s commitment to providing dedicated legal services in Mississippi. The firm handles a range of cases, including personal injury, family law, veterans’ benefits, and real estate matters. For more information, visit their website at Derek L. Hall, P.C..
