Jim is “hands down” the best attorney in the State of Mississippi. He is extremely intelligent and his knowledge of the law is impeccable, second to none. I’m glad to know he is my attorney, as well as an incredible friend. His experience is vast and deep, and he’s not afraid of anything or anyone. If he represents you, consider it an honor. You have the “very best” attorney on the planet! He is a legend in the field of law, and a incredibly good person. Very well respected. I highly recommend him.

Jim is a man of great integrity! He's not afraid to take anyone on if he knows you are right! No matter who has done you wrong. If Jim takes your case you have pretty much won already. He will stand by you if a big corporation tries to do you wrong and you have no one to turn to. Thanks to him, I hold my head high after the mighty UPS company came after me in Northeast Mississippi. He is a veteran like myself and thank God for him. It was Jim and I at the table and six of them at their end and after three days of court, we walked away with the victory! I will never forget him. In this life or the next!

Everyone at Waide & Associates are great and caring people who really care about you and your case. I strongly recommend this law firm! I couldn't ask for a better attorney than Mr. Waide. And what a track record he has! Mr. Waide was named one of top ten lawyers! If you want a lawyer that really cares about you and your case, Jim Wade is the man for you.
