The list, which is compiled by Best Lawyers, is based on a peer review process where attorneys nominate their colleagues and provide feedback on their professional abilities.
According to Best Lawyers' website, the process is designed to capture the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about their colleagues' professional abilities within the same geographical area and legal practice area. The selection process begins with nominations, followed by feedback from peers, who are asked how likely they would be to refer a case to the nominee. Voters rate on a scale of one to five and may leave additional comments. After reviewing feedback and confirming nominees' good standing with local bar associations, the final list is released.
Derek Hall brings over 30 years of legal experience to the firm. His practice includes personal injury, divorce, family law, criminal defense, real estate, and veterans' benefits. He is certified as a Guardian Ad Litem in Mississippi and is VA accredited by the Veterans Administration.
