At Gunn and Hicks, PLLC, our mission is to provide superior representation of individuals and businesses, as both plaintiffs and defendants, in civil litigation with a focus on personal injury, business, and commercial lawsuits. From our office in Hattiesburg, we handle cases in central and south Mississippi.

Our law firm offers the best of both worlds to our clients: the sophistication, experience, resources and skills of a big firm and the warmth and closeness of a small firm. Some large firms have a tendency to disconnect from their clients, pass cases off to a legion of inexperienced attorneys, and assign several attorneys to the same file when it is unnecessary. We get to know our clients on a first name basis and regularly visit with them, and each of our lawyers handles a case from beginning to end. One of our principal goals is to conclude every lawsuit in the way most beneficial to our client, which helps to minimize unnecessary delay and expense. There are few small firms in Mississippi with our level of expertise and skill.

Beginning in 1976, Mr. Gunn worked as a member of the firm Aultman & Aultman, where he specialized in insurance defense litigation. In 1984, Mr. Gunn became a solo practitioner and in 1992, Mr. Hicks, who had previously served as law clerk to U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate, joined him in the practice of law.

We specialize in litigation of many varieties with an emphasis on insurance defense and commercial litigation for both individuals and businesses. We normally defend cases, but on occasion, we will handle a claim for a client who has suffered damages and is entitled to compensation. We abhor frivolous suits, but we are also conscious of the need to preserve our justice system, including the freedom of all persons to go to court and seek damages.

If you are a business or an individual being sued or you have a legitimate claim for which you are seeking damages, and the case is in central or south Mississippi, we can either handle it or refer you to a good, competent attorney.
