A trusted advisor for complex employment matters

Our company engaged Mark Halbert at Phelps Dunbar to defend us in a wrongful termination and civil rights lawsuit. With over 20 years of litigation experience, his deep knowledge of Mississippi employment law was immediately evident. He guided us through the entire process with a steady hand, from the initial investigation to the deposition phase. His recognition in labor and employment litigation is well-deserved; his strategic thinking helped us navigate the complexities of the case efficiently. While his billing rates reflect his expertise and the firm's standing, the overall value was clear in the favorable pre-trial resolution he secured. Communication was generally excellent, though there were occasional delays in receiving draft documents, which is my only minor critique. I would confidently recommend Mark to any business facing sensitive employment litigation in the Tupelo area.
