Personal InjuryPersonal Injuries
You deserve justice when you’ve been injured in a crash, slip and fall, or other negligent accident. By filing a personal injury claim against the at-fault party, you could get significant compensation for your doctor bills, pain and suffering and other losses. We can help.
Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury and wrongful death claims. Every year, thousands of people are injured and killed in Mississippi due to distracted, drunk, aggressive and otherwise negligent drivers. We hold bad drivers accountable.
Wrongful Death
When someone dies due to another party’s negligent or wrongful actions, their eligible surviving family members may bring a wrongful death claim. Damages in a wrongful death claim may include medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, lost wages, lost companionship and more.
When you’ve been arrested, it’s very advantageous to have the help of a criminal defense lawyer who has experience as a prosecutor. Ringer Lingold & Spencer is proud to offer this perspective. Our defense attorneys know how the other side thinks. We understand the local criminal courts and Mississippi justice system from both sides.
Criminal DefenseDUI Charges
A DUI conviction can result in jail time, expensive fines and loss of your license. It can also negatively affect your job, your reputation and your family life. We have a track record of success in getting DUI charges reduced or dismissed.
Misdemeanors
Misdemeanor crimes are less serious than felonies, but you can still spend time behind bars and be left with a criminal record that follows you throughout your life. We help people charged with misdemeanors that include petty theft, stalking, assault, marijuana possession and others.
Felonies
Felony convictions come with severe punishments that can include years in state prison, or worse. We fight for the rights, fair treatment and the best possible outcomes for people charged with murder, rape, arson, felony DUIs, embezzlement, counterfeiting and other felony crimes.
In addition to family law matters such as divorce, child custody and child support, our Florence law firm also helps help clients grow their families through adoption.
Family LawDivorce
Divorce is one of life’s most stressful events. In addition to the emotional devastation, a person’s financial security can be greatly impacted. Our compassionate family lawyers look out for the interests of divorcing clients in property and asset division, child support and alimony settlements.
Custody & Support
When parents can’t reach agreement on child custody decisions, the court does it for them. The best interests of children govern child custody in Mississippi. We’ll work on behalf of you and your children to help ensure a fair arrangement for custody or visitation.
Contempt
Whether you’re facing a contempt charge or need a family law court order enforced, our knowledgeable attorneys will assist you. Contempt charges can result from violations of court orders related to child custody and visitation agreements, as well as child support and alimony payments.
