About

The focus of my practice is general litigation, and our firm regularly handles matters in a variety of areas. In particular, I enjoy practicing in the contexts of personal injury, insurance bad faith, and commercial/business litigation. We also regularly litigate in the fields of healthcare law (including medical malpractice, False Claims Act litigation, and Medicare/Medicaid audit defense) and labor/employment (wrongful termination, noncompete cases, disputes arising from the breach of employment contracts, and discrimination). I also enjoy appellate practice and am fortunate to be part of a group with representations involving traditional appeals to both the Mississippi Supreme Court and the Mississippi Court of Appeals as well as to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. We are comfortable litigating in a wide spectrum of environments, with recent or ongoing representations in many Mississippi state courts, all Mississippi federal district courts, Mississippi federal bankruptcy courts, and federal district courts in Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama.

John was so knowledgeable in the area of labor rights and was exactly who I needed as counsel during an employment challenge I was facing. He clearly explained my options and made me feel comfortable in making the decisions I was faced with. He fully met my expectations in the final settlement and within the timeline he predicted. Not only is he competent in his profession, personally he is a standup man as well.

My search for an attorney resulted in a call to John Nisbett. John not only met but exceeded my expectations; he is high effective. He is an attorney with great expertise; he addressed my issues and concerns very strategically which was extremely reassuring. John protected my interest, and he resolved my case with unparalleled results. If you have a legal issue, I highly recommend John. John is the best.

Unfortunately, but fortunate enough I had to hire John not once, but twice. One was an auto accident and the other was a bad faith claim dealing with my home. From the very beginning John took each case personal, as his own. He was always so enthusiastic and motivated to bring justice to the other side. I would highly recommend John for ANY lawsuit anyone may have. He definitely exceeded all my expectations. 5 stars

John did a wonderful job handling my case! I was so clueless as to how to handle the matter at hand and John walked me through everything step by step. He got me exactly what I deserved without having to go through a trial! I've never had to hire a lawyer before, and now I'll never hire anyone else!

John handled my case with professionalism but always seemed concern about me. I always felt I made a great decision by hiring John. John kept me updated throughout the case. I would recommend John Nesbit for all legal work. I know I will go to him again if the need arose.

John provided invaluable help and guidance in a matter that was totally foreign to me. A friend of mine recommended John and I am so glad he did! He listened to me and answered all of my questions, no matter how ridiculous they were. With his hard work and determination, there was a pleasant outcome to an otherwise bad situation. I highly recommend John, and if I ever need an attorney again, I will definitely contact him!

John Nesbit has provided his services to my husband and I on several occasions and he was not only helpful but always returned our calls timely. His knowledge of the law is outstanding! I wouldn't think of using anyone else!

My case with Mr.Nisbett was phenomenal. Mr. Nisbett. goes above and beyond what it takes to gather all valuable information that he feels will be beificial to win ones case. He doesn't waste no time! He is very time efficient and keeps you informed every step of the way no matter what day of the week or time of day! The day I met John I was so lost emotionally and physically. A lawyer was the last thing I honestly wanted to look into. But, John has a whole different way about him. He is willing to take the time to listen to what I had say no matter how long it took me, and gather up my information. John is very accurate at what he does, you can tell he knows the law like the back of his hand and he has the patience and respect to go along with the aggressiveness. John by far is one of the best lawyers I have seen yet!
