Hall will be recognized for his work in personal injury litigation, while Jennifer G. Hall will be recognized in the areas of employment law and labor and employment litigation.
The selection process for Best Lawyers is rigorous and relies on a pure peer review system. According to the organization's website, the process is designed to capture the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues. Attorneys are nominated and then evaluated by their peers, who are asked how likely they would be to refer a case to the nominee. Voters respond on a scale of one to five and may provide additional comments. After collecting this feedback, Best Lawyers verifies that nominees are in good standing with their local bar associations before finalizing the list.
Derek Hall, founder and managing partner of the firm, 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 secured millions in verdicts and settlements for his clients. Jennifer Hall is dual-licensed in Mississippi and Tennessee and is a fellow of the Mississippi Bar Foundation. She has chaired multiple Mississippi Bar committees and served as president of the Young Lawyers Division, receiving the Distinguished Service Award in 2022.
Derek Hall expressed his gratitude for the recognition, stating, "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. 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."
