Third-generation Columbus firm reflects on how its practice areas have expanded during more than 90 years of legal service.
COLUMBUS, Miss – Van Every Law is highlighting how the legal needs of Mississippi individuals and families have changed during the firm’s more than 90 years of service. Founded in Columbus in 1942, the third-generation practice has expanded its areas of representation while continuing its family-led approach to client service.
The firm began under H.K. Van Every II and has remained connected to the Columbus community through three generations of legal professionals. Over time, its work grew beyond its earlier focus to include a wider range of matters affecting individuals, families, workers, and property owners across Mississippi.
During the 1990s, under the leadership of David S. Van Every Sr., Van Every Law broadened its services to address additional areas of law. The firm now represents clients in personal injury, wrongful death, car and trucking accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, catastrophic injuries, workers’ compensation, family law, estate planning, probate, real estate, criminal defense, and civil litigation.
This broader range of services reflects the different legal issues that may arise throughout a person’s life. An individual may need representation following a serious accident, while a family may later require assistance with estate planning, probate, a domestic matter, or a real estate concern. By maintaining multiple practice areas, Van Every Law continues to provide support for clients facing a variety of legal circumstances.
As many businesses change ownership or location over time, the firm has continued operating as a family-led practice with longstanding ties to the local community.
The firm’s longstanding presence has also contributed to relationships with Mississippi families across generations. According to Van Every Law, many clients are referred by relatives, friends, former clients, or families with previous connections to the practice.
“Every client deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and personal attention,” said Joe Van Every of Van Every Law.
While legal concerns and practice areas have changed since 1942, the firm continues to emphasize communication, compassion, and personal service. Van Every Law remains focused on representing clients throughout Mississippi while preserving the values associated with its family-led history.
