The Mississippi Bar is offering information to the public following the recent oil rig explosion and its aftermath by providing a “Disaster Legal Information Guide” and contact information for submitting complaints of improper solicitation or concerns about possible unethical behavior by an attorney.

“After events of this nature, it is sometimes difficult for those who may have been injured or damaged to make informed decisions about their legal rights,” says George Fair, President of The Mississippi Bar.  “The Bar wants to make sure no one takes advantage of them as they try to make these decisions.”
