Navigating a Mississippi claim means confronting a high legal bar designed to protect businesses. A generalist’s approach is insufficient to overcome these significant statutory hurdles.
Explaining the demanding “knowingly” standard to a Mississippi jury requires an expert who can simplify complex legal terms into compelling facts. I have the experience to effectively convey crucial points in Mississippi courtrooms, including the Hinds County Circuit Court.
My services are focused on the specific requirements for building a case capable of meeting Mississippi’s exceptionally high burden of proof.
A confidential, in-depth review to assess the probability of meeting the “knowingly” and “visibly intoxicated” standards.
Meticulous analysis of all documentation—video, receipts, training logs, witness statements, social media—to build a powerful evidentiary record.
Professionally written reports specifically structured to present evidence that addresses the high statutory requirements.
Clear, concise, and compelling testimony designed to withstand rigorous cross-examination on Mississippi’s high legal standards.
Strategic guidance on discovery and case presentation aimed at building a case that can overcome the significant statutory hurdles.
My focus is singular: providing the expert analysis needed to pursue a claim under Mississippi’s demanding statute.
Building a case with powerful evidence that connects a tragic outcome to a vendor’s knowing decision to serve a visibly intoxicated person.
Analyzing server actions, witness accounts, and circumstantial evidence to build a compelling argument that the service was not merely negligent, but was done with actual knowledge of the patron’s visible intoxication.
While the statute focuses on “visibly intoxicated” persons, service to minors can also be a basis for a claim, and I investigate the failure of age verification policies in these cases.
I provide expert witness services for qualifying cases throughout the State of Mississippi, including:
Jackson and the Hinds, Rankin, & Madison County metro area
Gulfport, Biloxi, and Harrison County
Southaven and DeSoto County
Hattiesburg and Forrest County
Oxford and Lafayette County

This is a very high standard of proof. It means the plaintiff must provide evidence that the server had actual, subjective knowledge that the patron was intoxicated when they served them. Simply showing that the person was drunk is not enough; you must prove the server knew it.
Yes. The statute, § 67-3-73, was passed specifically to limit the liability of alcohol vendors. A successful case requires a very strong set of facts and powerful evidence to overcome the high legal standard set by the law.
