DeSoto County

Flat-fee Mississippi law, served from Oxford to Southaven.

Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake, Hernando, Walls. Published prices. Memphis-adjacent. The Memphis Immigration Court is the federal forum for DeSoto County removal cases.

Why a north-Mississippi firm makes sense for DeSoto

DeSoto County sits in the Memphis metro for daily life but in Mississippi for everything that matters legally — chancery and circuit courts, the LLC statute, the will statute, the DUI statute, the attorney bar admission. A Memphis firm is going to quote you Tennessee hourly rates and either won't be Mississippi-licensed or will charge for a co-counsel arrangement. I'm Mississippi-only, Oxford-based, and forty-five minutes from Hernando.

Most DeSoto County work I handle is remote — operating agreements executed electronically, will signings coordinated by mobile notary, consults over phone or video. For matters that need a courtroom — DUI arraignment in DeSoto County Justice Court, divorce filing in DeSoto Chancery, immigration master calendar at the Memphis Immigration Court on Front Street — I appear in person.

The Memphis Immigration Court

If you live in Southaven or Olive Branch and you've been served a Notice to Appear, your hearing is at the Memphis Immigration Court. Mississippi has no immigration court of its own. I appear there regularly for cancellation of removal, asylum, and bond matters. The 90-minute paid consult ($350) produces a written memo with my real recommendation before you commit to a full engagement.

Cities I serve in DeSoto County

  • Southaven — largest city in DeSoto, full mix of business, family, immigration, and DUI work.
  • Olive Branch — heavy small-business and real-estate development; lots of LLC and lease work.
  • Horn Lake — wills, estates, and the occasional DUI 1st-offense in DeSoto Justice Court.
  • Hernando — county seat; chancery filings, family-law paperwork, probate.
  • Walls and Lake Cordova — primarily estate and real-estate work.
