When meeting me, some people ask me how I got my name. The answer: I have 2 sons. When they were little, we always had a yard full of kids. All my boyfriends called me Mama Missy because I ensured they were all fed and had plenty of cool drinks on those hot, Southern, summer days. Being a mama is one of the most rewarding &best jobs that God has ever blessed me with. I am also thankful that God put me in a position where He can use me to help others in very difficult times. I, too, have been in difficult times, the worst of which being when my 25-year-old son left this earth for his heavenly home. Through the trials and tribulations of my loss, God remained faithful. Losing my son taught me that all things that happen in life can be used for good. My job allows me to be Mama Missy not only to my beloved children and grandchildren but to everyone who needs justice. Hence the name, Mama Justice.Although I am familiar with many areas of law, I focus my practice on personal injury cases.
