Roy Hamilton Liddell

Roy Liddell's litigation practice is varied and geographically dispersed. He represents clients ranging from small businesses to large companies in cases involving business disputes, significant accidents, claims of fraud, intellectual property disputes and bad faith insurance defense litigation.

Roy's appellate experience includes obtaining reversal of a $38,000,000 verdict against an insurance company accused of bad faith in handling an insurance claim.

Roy also has significant experience defending class actions against financial institutions and manufacturers in Mississippi and beyond, including service as lead defense counsel in a nationwide class action and settlement of claims against a major shuttlebus manufacturer.
