About

I am a divorced mom of a wonderful daughter living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  I enjoy pets, reading, listening to public radio and TED Talks, watching streaming tv shows, movies, and documentaries.  I love to spend time with my daughter and adjust my work schedule to care for her when possible. I like to meet new people and have fun, enlightening, and entertaining conversations with those around me.    I love living on the Mississippi Coast - I live in a paradise many wish they are able to visit.  I do not judge or discriminate about anyone for anything - race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual identity, age, nationality, or any other factor, personally or professionally.  I have friends from many kinds of backgrounds and cherish each of them. I grew up in the Saucier and Wiggins, Mississippi areas and have family in Stone County, Mississippi.  I attended college in Starkville at Mississippi State University and earned double B.S. degrees in biochemistry and microbiology.  I attended graduate school at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson pursuing a master's degree in medical microbiology.  While pursuing my graduate studies, I worked part-time assisting attorneys.  I enjoyed the work so much that I decided to attend Mississippi College School of Law in Jackson, Mississippi.I enjoy being a family lawyer and helping my clients through what are often some of the most difficult times of their lives.  I strive to be fair, kind, attentive, compassionate and provide knowledgeable, specialized, personal service to my clients. I look forward to helping you with your legal matter.

I could not have asked for better representation. Ms Silin helped me through a very rough custody battle with logic, compassion, knowledge of the law, and determination to stay the course. Since my hearing I have recommended several people to Ms Silin and I will continue to recommend her to anyone expressing the need for legal representation. She is an amazing attorney and a genuine individual.

Rita Slin is a GREAT attorney. She is under priced for how hard she works. She is caring, smart and compassionate. She is quick to return your phone calls or emails. I have never had to wait for her. She is extremely reliable. She will defend and fight for what is right. If it wasn't for this wonderful lady, I wouldn't have a what I have now. I am truly thankful for her and the hard work she put into my case. If you need anything, give her a call. She will help you.

Ms. Silin has helped me transition from a difficult divorce. She provided reliable, professional service which helped guide me in the right direction, and she is an attorney who intently listens. Ms. Silin also responds to emails and phone calls in a timely manner. She follows through with any obligation she commits to, and most importantly, she was extremely patient :) The wisdom and advice that she offers surpasses the attorney/client relationship.

Rita took excellent care with every detail of my child custody case. She paid careful attention to every word in any documents, kept in constant contact with opposing counsel and was always attentive to any new thoughts or concerns I would have, even at the spur of the moment. I don't know what I would have done without her, because I thought my custody case would be cut and dry easy. Rita knew what I didn't: that nothing is cut and dry with the law.

I hired Rita Silin for a child custody case. In the beginning she was extremely helpful, kept in contact every other day, and even worked with me on a payment schedule. However, once I made my final payment, she disappeared and has not responded to any emails, calls, or formal letters asking about an update on my case. So I am now out of over $2000 in lawyer fees just not receive the services I paid for over a year ago.

Rita was my lawyer for divorce, she always told me to come to court then would have hearings telling me not to show. While Rita was retained as my lawyer she would not represent me in a dv charge from my ex. I had my ex for contempt several times and she failed to file motion for contempt and a motion to enforce. She also told me I couldn't go get my child during my week because I had to work and my ex was in contempt Rita did nothing she's not a lawyer I would recommend for nothing.
