A consummate professional who delivered results in a complex product liability case

When our manufacturing company faced a significant product liability lawsuit in Mississippi, the stakes were incredibly high. We engaged Jennifer Jones Skipper at Balch & Bingham, and it was the best decision we could have made. With over two decades of experience, Jennifer’s deep knowledge of both Mississippi law and the intricate details of product liability defense was immediately apparent. Her background in insurance law and mass tort litigation was invaluable, as she expertly navigated the complexities of our case, which involved multi-state considerations. Jennifer was not only a strategic and formidable litigator but also a clear communicator who kept us informed at every turn. Her professionalism and meticulous preparation were unmatched, ultimately leading to a highly favorable settlement that protected our business. Her recognition in the legal community is well-deserved. For any serious litigation matter in the region, Jennifer is the attorney you want in your corner.
