Third-generation Columbus law firm continues a legacy of community trust, legal experience, and client-focused representation since 1942.
COLUMBUS, Miss. – For more than 90 years, Van Every Law has remained a familiar presence in Mississippi, representing individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult legal challenges while continuing a family tradition that began in 1942.
Founded by H.K. Van Every II in Columbus, the firm has grown through three generations of legal professionals, maintaining a longstanding commitment to serving communities across Mississippi. From personal injury and wrongful death matters to family law, estate planning, criminal defense, and civil litigation, the firm has expanded its practice areas while remaining rooted in the values established at its founding.
As many businesses experience ownership changes or relocate over time, Van Every Law has continued operating as a family-led practice with deep ties to the local community. The firm’s history reflects not only decades of legal service but also relationships built across generations of Mississippi families.
“Our family has always believed that every client deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and personal attention,” said Joe Van Every of Van Every Law. “Many of the people who walk through our doors are facing one of the most stressful moments of their lives. We consider it a privilege to help guide them through those situations.”
Throughout its history, the firm has adapted to the changing legal needs of Mississippi residents. Under the leadership of David S. Van Every Sr., the practice broadened its services in the 1990s to include additional areas of law, allowing clients to receive comprehensive legal support from a trusted local firm.
Today, Van Every Law continues to represent clients throughout Mississippi in matters involving car accidents, trucking accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, catastrophic injuries, workers’ compensation, family law, estate planning, probate, real estate, and criminal defense.
The firm’s reputation has been shaped not only by legal results but also by its emphasis on communication and long-term client relationships. Many clients come through referrals from family members, friends, or previous generations who have worked with the firm over the years.
As Van Every Law continues its third generation of leadership, the firm remains focused on preserving the values that have guided it since 1942 while serving the evolving legal needs of Mississippi communities.
