Workers Compensation
A workplace injury can turn your life upside down. From mounting medical bills to lost income, the stress can be overwhelming. Fortunately, workers’ compensation laws exist to protect employees like you—and at Jeff Leathers Law, a leading North Mississippi law firm, we’re here to ensure you receive every benefit you’re entitled to regarding your personal injury claim.

Our team works with you every step of the way—from filing your initial claim to appealing denied benefits and even pursuing third-party claims when someone other than your employer is responsible, including in cases of commercial litigation.

No Fault Divorces
Divorce can be a difficult decision, but the legal process doesn’t have to be. A no-fault divorce allows couples to end their marriage without placing blame on either party. Instead of proving wrongdoing, one or both spouses simply state that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
Key Benefits of No-Fault Divorce
✔ Simplified Process – No need to prove fault, reducing conflict and legal battles.
✔ Faster Resolution – Cases often move quicker through the court system.
✔ Lower Costs – Less time in court means lower legal fees.
✔ Less Stress – Encourages a more amicable separation.
How It Works
Filing the Petition – One spouse files for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences" or a similar no-fault ground. Negotiation & Agreement – Couples may resolve issues like asset division, child custody, and support through mediation or legal representation. Finalization – Once the court approves the terms, the divorce is legally granted.
At Jeff Leathers Law, a North Mississippi law firm, we guide clients through the no-fault divorce process with professionalism and care. We also provide legal representation for those navigating commercial litigation, criminal defense, personal injury, and workers compensation cases. If you're considering divorce and need legal advice, contact us today for a consultation.
