Carr Allison is one of thefastest growing firms in theSoutheast. Why? Our clientstell us that the fact that wehave lawyers with a lifetime ofties in the 6 cities in Alabamaand Mississippi where ouroffices are located is the pri-mary reason they come to usfor legal problems in thoseareas. In Mississippi, we pro-vide litigation services tonational clients in the south-ern part of Mississippi fromour offices in Gulfport.
When clients face litigationexposure in Mississippi they
often hear the horror storiesinvolving the imposition ofpunitive damages. We like tothink we “wrote the book” onthe subject of punitive dam-ages in Mississippi. For theFall 2003 75th anniversary ofthe Mississippi Law Journal,Thomas Carpenter of ourGulfport office teamed up withJudge Louis Guirola of theUnited States District Courtfor the Southern District ofMississippi to write: “PunitiveDamages in Mississippi:What has Happened, What isHappening, and What isComing Next.”
Senior partner Doug Bagwellhas been very active in thebench and bar community ofthe Gulf Coast of Mississippiand has tried over 100 casesto a conclusion.
With the resources of over 60lawyers in Alabama andMississippi behind it, the CarrAllison offices in Gulfport,Mississippi stands ready toserve the national and inter-national client faced withlegal exposure in southernMississippi.
