Columbus, Mississippi law firm highlights three generations of legal service and its longstanding commitment to representing families across the state.
COLUMBUS, MS – Van Every Law, a third-generation Mississippi law firm serving clients since 1942, is highlighting its recognition in the 2026 Best of the Triangle readers’ choice awards by The Dispatch. The recognition marks another milestone in the firm’s 84-year history of providing legal representation to individuals and families throughout Mississippi.
Founded in Columbus by H.K. Van Every II in 1942, the firm has remained rooted in the same community through three generations of attorneys. What began as a local legal practice developed into a statewide firm handling personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, criminal defense, family law, estate planning, and civil litigation.
The firm’s history reflects decades of family leadership and relationships with Mississippi residents. In 1981, David S. Van Every Sr. assumed leadership, continuing the legal practice established by his father. During the following decades, the firm broadened its services to address changing legal needs across the state.
Today, Joseph H. Van Every leads the firm as its third-generation attorney and owner, continuing the family’s tradition of providing individualized legal representation.
The 2026 recognition adds to a year of professional achievements for the firm. Earlier this year, Joseph H. Van Every was also named a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an organization recognizing trial attorneys who have obtained million-dollar verdicts, awards, or settlements.
Beyond its professional recognition, Van Every Law maintains a focus on helping clients navigate difficult legal circumstances. Its practice includes representing families affected by fatal accidents, individuals injured in commercial trucking collisions, victims of medical negligence, and residents facing other serious legal disputes.
The firm’s Columbus headquarters continues to serve as its base for assisting clients throughout Mississippi. Its approach emphasizes direct attorney involvement, clear communication, and personalized attention to each client’s circumstances.
As Van Every Law approaches its 85th anniversary in 2027, the firm continues operating under the family name established in 1942, connecting its longstanding history with the legal needs of Mississippi communities today.
