I work as hard as I can every day to achieve the best possible results for my clients, and to further a reputation of integrity, trust, and excellence. I specialize in all areas of Family Law, as well as, in the areas of Social Security Disability, Wills and Estates, Criminal Defense, DUI Defense, Immigration, Bankruptcy, and Personal Injury. I will provide you with clear, simple advice ensuring that you will understand all the options available to you in order that we can better proceed with your case.
I have Nineteen (19) years experience in litigation. I have worked for two (2) years behind the scenes as a Staff Attorney for Judges, so I know and appreciate how the process works. With several years experience as an insurance defense attorney, I can better represent those clients who have a personal injury claim, because I know how insurance companies work and think. Since leaving the big law firms, I have worked as a General Litigation Attorney, which consists of the areas of Family Law (Divorce, Custody, and Adoptions), Criminal Defense, Wills and Estate Planning, and Appellate Law. During this time, I had my own law firm, "McAlister Law Firm", for several years in Florence, Alabama. After leaving Florence, Alabama, I moved to South Mississippi, where I was the Regional Manager for Mississippi Center for Legal Services, Corporation for several years, where the focus of my practice was Family Law.
On a personal note, I live in Biloxi, Mississippi with my son, James. We attend Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Biloxi, Mississippi. I also teach First Grade Catechism at CCD at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church every Sunday.
In 2019, I was selected by the National Family Law Attorneys, Inc. to receive the prestigious Top 10 Attorney Award for the state of Mississippi.
