When
the demands of complex litigation require intensive case
development, the firm is able to commit the attorneys and
resources as the complexity of the case requires. The
firm has also developed relationships with firms in
neighboring states for association when necessary in
multi-state litigation. The lawyers of Bryan, Nelson,
Schroeder, Castigliola & Banahan have presented
numerous in-house seminars to insurance clients in such
areas as prevention of bad faith exposure, arson defense,
medical analysis, sound claims handling practices and
uninsured/underinsured motorist disputes.
The
firm has easy access to the various courts in the region.
Federal District courts located in Biloxi, Hattiesburg,
New Orleans, and Mobile and the U. S. Court of Appeals
for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans and state trial
courts for Mississippi's ten southernmost counties are
less than ninety minutes from Pascagoula.
