Dear Merrida & Chuck: My plan has been to write you a thank you note and have a big party, but I kept getting busy at work. You and Chuck deserve a "formal" thank you from me for all you have done for my father and his case. Just the lawyering was amazing. I still love your closing when I think back on it and your handling of the matter throughout was superb. I'm aware of the efforts-physically, mentally, and emotionally-you made on my father's behalf. I don't think I can adequately describe the depths of my appreciation, so please know when I say thank you I say if from the depths of my heart. Keep up the good work in all you do. Sincerely, M.A.

As a Jackson injury attorney, Merrida Coxwell has distinguished himself in the area of personal injury law. He obtained a verdict in a product liability case working with two other attorneys that totaled over $144 million. He and his partner Chuck Mullins won a hard-fought Federal Civil Rights case against the city of Jackson, collecting a $2.1 million verdict on behalf of a family who lost a child to the excessive force of Jackson police officers. Countless other injured people have been helped by Merrida Coxwell.
