When our small medical practice in Biloxi was hit with a serious and complex malpractice lawsuit, the stress was overwhelming. We needed more than just a lawyer; we needed a seasoned strategist who understood the intricate details of both medical procedure and Mississippi tort law. Stephen Peresich was exactly that. With over four decades of experience, his depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. He didn't just review our case; he methodically deconstructed the plaintiff's arguments, working closely with our medical experts to build an unshakeable defense. His recent recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in Medical Malpractice Defense was no surprise to us—his courtroom composure and precise, persuasive arguments reflected that caliber of expertise. Beyond his legal acumen, Mr. Peresich provided steady, clear communication throughout the entire multi-year process, demystifying each step. The result was a complete defense verdict that protected our practice's reputation and future. His firm, Page, Mannino, Peresich & McDermott, provided robust support, but it was Stephen's personal dedication and masterful handling of the insurance and medical defense nuances that made the critical difference. We are profoundly grateful for his exceptional service.
