John and his staff are in the Top 95% of Mississippi Legal Teams. He keeps you informed through the whole process, and always kept my best interest his top priority!! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal services!

Caring, informed, knowledgeable, representation. Total opposite of an insurance representative, from another state, whose insured was responsible for an automobile accident that myself and my husband were involved in. John was recommended by a close friend of mine, and upon our initial meeting I left there knowing all aspects would be handled with great professionalism and concern for the well being of myself and my husband!

John is very considerate, professional and on top of everything through the whole process. Extremely knowledgeable in his fields of expertise. I highly recommend John. He came in when we really needed him organized and ready. It was very impressive. We appreciated how he walked and talked us through everything very thorough and always stopped to answer questions. Shannon was also fantastic helping with everything we needed. 5 star rating!!

I was fairly new to the area when i had my accident, talked to a few lawyers whom had visited me in my home. Then John and Baskin came talked to me about my case, he cares about my recovery makes sure i am able to make it to therapy, doctor appts. etc. The best thing is i can call him day or night and he is there, I LOVE THIS LAW FIRM,

There is no other choice. Results matter. Most importantly, he gives you open access to his office where he and his staff keeps you updated and in control of your claim. You feel like family. I submitted a claim and Mr. Giddens fought for me. I got every dollar amount I asked for and I was made whole. Many thanks to he and his firm- I still feel like family and that matters in life...

John is the type of guy you want on your side. His experience and successes in the courtroom all come from his innate way to connect with his clients. He avidly prepares for his cases. He is fighting for you! He is not afraid to ask the tough questions, rather, he gets right to them. He is not a lawyer to "beat around the bush" and I am so glad that I know he will be on the other side of a phone call if I need him.

Mr. Giddens was interested in my well-being. He was easy to talk to and explained in detail the facts of my case. He was persistent and looked out for my best interest. His staff was friendly and helpful, especially Shannon. I would use his services again!

John really cares about me. He took the time to listen to what was going on; to hear my experience. Even though I was involved in a class action, he never made me feel like a number. He always gave it to me straight and fair. Other lawyers had passed on getting involved with this case because of the unlikelihood that my case would prevail. John took the case and fought, not months, but years and won!

I had a case against the local sherriff department for shooting me in the back, resulting in a spinal cord injury. This case took a very long time to get to court and also involved criminal charges against me. He made sure I had help for that as well as him helping me with the personal injury. In the 5 years that it took I found that I didn't just have a lawyer but a friend. Actually many friends John, Betsy, Kimberly, Shannon, I know I can allways call and talk to someone. I never felt left out, I always knew what was going on with my case. John has sat in my living room too many times to count. He's laughed with me and cried with me, he took the time to understand what I was going through. The entire firm made sure that I was treated like a person instead of just another case number. Even after everything was said and done they are still there for me helping me. I will never regret hiring them, it was the best decision I ever made.
