Two attorneys from Derek L. Hall, P.C. have been selected for inclusion in the 33rd edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for 2027. Firm founder Derek L. Hall will be recognized in the field of personal injury litigation, while Jennifer G. Hall will be recognized in employment law and labor and employment litigation.
The recognition comes through a peer-review process that has been refined over decades. According to Best Lawyers, the selection process is designed to capture the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues in the same geographic area and practice area. It begins with nominations from peers, followed by feedback on the nominee’s work. Voters are asked how likely they would be to refer a case to the nominee, with responses on a scale of one to five. After collecting feedback, Best Lawyers verifies that nominees are in good standing with their local bar associations before finalizing the list.
Derek Hall, who has practiced law for over 30 years, leads the firm as managing partner. His practice covers personal injury, divorce, family law, criminal defense, real estate, and veterans' benefits. He is certified as a Guardian Ad Litem in Mississippi and is VA Accredited. He is a member of the Mississippi, Georgia, and American Bar Associations, and has secured millions in verdicts and settlements for clients.
Jennifer Hall is dual-licensed in Mississippi and Tennessee and brings years of legal experience. She is a fellow of the Mississippi Bar Foundation and has served as chair of multiple Mississippi Bar committees, as well as president of the Young Lawyers Division. In 2022, she received the Distinguished Service Award.
The firm expressed gratitude for the recognition. “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,” said Derek Hall. “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.”
This recognition highlights the firm’s dedication to serving clients in Mississippi and beyond. For more information about Derek L. Hall, P.C., visit their website at derekhallpc.com or call their Jackson office.
