SUMMARY
As an attorney at Merkel & Cocke, Edward P. Connell, Jr., is committed to representing clients in Mississippi. He focuses his practice on handling cases that involve matters such as workersÂ’ compensation law, personal injury law and litigation.
Suffering an injury can lead to serious, lifelong consequences. Victims of car accidents or a workplace accident often have to deal with significant physical pain and suffering. Additionally, they may miss work and thus a paycheck as medical bills continue to amass. With a keen understanding of the significant challenges victims and their families face, Mr. Connell provides thorough, steadfast representation.
Using innovation and a strict attention to detail, Mr. Connell has established a reputation for successfully securing favorable verdicts and settlements. He forms close relationships with clients and becomes just as vested in their case as they are.
For his achievements, Mr. Connell was named in the Delta Business Journal as a Top 50 Under 50 in the Delta in 2003, and the Mississippi Business Journal honored him as one of the 2012 Leaders in Law.
A published author, Mr. Connell is admitted to practice in Mississippi and Tennessee. He has been admitted to practice before the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Mississippi, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, the U.S. District Courts for the Western and Eastern Districts of Arkansas and the U.S. District Courts for the Western and Eastern Districts of Tennessee.
When he is not advocating for clients, Mr. Connell enjoys serving his community and providing pro bono services for local organizations.
