We Fight Hard for Injured People in Mississippi,
Across the Nation, and Around the World

For the benefit of our clients and the communities that we serve, we have developed this website as a legal and consumer resource. In addition, we have provided information about our law firm so that you can make an informed decision as to whether our experience, determination and qualifications can assist you with whatever legal problem you may encounter.

Shannon Law Firm genuinely cares about you and your legal concerns. If we cannot give your case the attention and dedication it deserves, we will tell you so. We do not take cases unless we feel we can devote the time and resources necessary to attend to your legal needs properly and timely.

Shannon Law Firm, located in downtown Hazlehurst, Mississippi fights for compensation for our clients who have sustained serious injuries due to negligence, automobile accidents, including 18-wheeler and motorcycle accidents. In addition to automobile related injuries, we handle cases involving injuries due to defective products such as asbestos, fumes from welding-rods, and other toxic chemical cases.

As consumers, we often buy products and use them operating under the assumption that they are safe and will not cause us injury. Unfortunately, products are put on the market everyday that are unsafe for a variety of reasons. Some of these products are inherently unsafe, while others are dangerous if used in a certain manner. The dangers arise when companies create a negligent design, improperly warn consumers, etc. In addition to unsafe products that we use in everyday life, unsafe prescription and over the counter drugs are often put on the market that may cause injury.

Led by founding attorney Jim Shannon, the firm has obtained national recognition. In 2001, two of our cases were ranked 10th in the nation for largest trial verdicts by the National Law Journal. Since 1999, Mr. Shannon has been a "million dollar advocate," having secured million-dollar verdicts or settlements for seriously injured clients, including the largest verdict ever against Travelers Insurance.

Every Case Is Personal to Us

Our personal injury attorneys fight hard to ensure that our clients receive a fair settlement for their injuries. We are trial lawyers—not afraid to take a case to court if that is what is needed toget the money our clients may legally be entitled to. Our clients are like family to us, and we strive always to do our best. At Shannon Law Firm, "the client comes first."

Representation in Negotiation or at Trial

Attorney Referrals Shannon Law Firm welcomes attorney referrals. We work with local attorneys who are seeking a firm with the experience and resources to handle a large case in federal court. We accept cases from legal counsel in other states or abroad who have clients who need local representation. We offer years of experience in personal injury and product liability litigation helping clients achieve quick and fair resolutions to their cases. Shannon Law Firm is able to provide as little or as much assistance as needed to resolve the case while you maintain client contact. We can manage the technical aspects of the case, or we can take the case over completely as our own. In either instance, we will keep you updated on progress "to put the needs of the client first."

In some cases, the best case strategy is to use negotiation to achieve fair settlements without going to court. In other cases, only a trial will get a responsible party to acknowledge their responsibility and make amends.

Our injury attorneys have many years of experience in trial courts. Our thorough preparation puts us in a strong position from which to negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf.

In addition to personal injury claims, we also accept bad faith insurance cases, insurance coverage disputes, business breach of contract cases, and business fraud.
