About Aaron

Aaron Hommell is one of Mississippi's newer lawyers, but is not new to the field of DUI law. Mr. Hommell currently focuses much of his solo practice on DUI defense work throughout Mississippi, but started as a law clerk in the Mississippi Attorney General’s office while in law school. He clerked under the supervision of the Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor and Special Assistant Attorney General tasked with DUI and traffic safety laws. After his stint there, Mr. Hommell left to work as a law clerk to Victor W. Carmody, Jr., Kevin T. Stewart, and Lance O. Mixon. While working for these leaders in DUI defense, he learned a different side of the law than the one he had experienced while working at the Attorney General’s office.

Since passing the bar in 2014, Mr. Hommell jumped head-first into representing defendants in DUI cases across the state. He has already represented clients involved in cases before the Mississippi Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States. In addition to his DUI work, Mr. Hommell has a budding personal injury and appellate practice in Gulfport, Mississippi. 

Mr. Hommell is a graduate of Franklin College of Indiana with a bachelor of arts degree in journalism. He received his juris doctor from Mississippi College School of Law. He is admitted to practice in all Mississippi state courts, including the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court. Additionally he is barred in the Southern District Court of Mississippi. Mr. Hommell is a member of the National College of DUI Defense, American Association for Justice, and the Mississippi Association for Justice.

      Aaron is absolutely amazing!! I was a nervous wreck and Aaron always spoke to me in a calm tone. He also ensured that my DUI was dismissed. I literally can not thank this guy enough!

      His experience is obvious

      Posted by

      When I am seeking legal representation, I look for confidence when discussing whatever area of law I need representation in. Mr. Hommell is very knowledgeable, and he shows it by his ability to quickly answer questions and explain anything which pertains to your case that you need to know in great detail. He helped me tremendously and I would recommend his services to anyone!

      Excellent DUI Attorney

      Posted by

      Aaron Hommell is a great, professional, well-rounded attorney. Mr. Hommell represented me in a DUI case in the Gulf Coast Region of Mississippi and fought it down to a complete dismissal. With his knowledge of the law, professional demeanor, determination to win, and out-of-the-way attitude to succeed, he represented me to achieve the goal everyone in this situation is looking for, a dismissal. I would suggest Aaron to anyone looking for a young attorney who has a willingness to win and a genuine attitude towards his clients. Believe in me, Mr. Aaron Hommell is the attorney you want on your side if you are looking for positive results!

      Excellent Attorney - Recommend Mr. Hommell to Friends & Family

      Posted by

      Mr. Hommell is an excellent attorney who was able to expunge records of mine quickly and for a for a very reasonable fee. After shopping around & consulting a few attorneys, I met with Aaron & appreciated the fact that he offers a free consultation. He asked very specific questions & from there advised me on precisely what the process would entail & exactly how his fees were broken down. I felt very confident hiring Mr. Hommell and he kept me apprised and informed every step of the way. I would recommend his services to any friends & family and in the future if I am ever charged with a DUI or DWI I will absolutely seek out Mr. Hommell for his services. He is very friendly, very informative, and highly professional. He was able to answer a variety of questions & advise me on how to proceed in certain other matters. If you have a legal issue or pending matter, My recommendation would be to speak with Mr. Hommell as soon as possible, so that he can resolve the matter as quickly and efficiently as possible. I simply didnt feel confident in other attorneys I met with and I left my meeting with Mr. Hommell confident that he had everything under control.

      Amazing work

      Posted by

      Mr.Hommell did more than an amazing job with my very detailed and awful case. Without him I probably wouldn't have gotten my nonadjudication. I'm so glad I decided to hire him to represent me. He did an incredible job and was very professional. I seriously can't thank him enough.

      Aaron P Hommell - DUI

      Posted by

      I was parked in a public parking lot waiting for my ride ( driver ) to come back, when the Police approached me . I had been drinking, but , I had not been driving. Anyway someone had called said they seen a car , maroon Grand Marquee driving eradicate, I drive a Lincoln MKS . Anyway Aaron found a similar case where I was protected by the 4th Amendment 's protections against unreasonable search & seizure. I was in a public parking lot , my car was same color car as what was reported , so what , You didn't have probably case to approach or have contact with me . Aaron is a great LAWYER !!!!! I would recommend Aaron Hommell to any & everyone !

      First legal encounter

      Posted by

      Mr. Hommell created a comfortable setting for an uncomfortable situation. I had never had any experience in a court setting or the events that lead up to my trial. I was listened to, advised, and supported throughout the entire process of fighting a DUI. I recommend Mr. Hommell on many levels. He was professional, yet caring, and very honest about what to expect and different scenarios or outcomes that may occur. My case closed with success and my charges were dismissed. If not for the assistance of Mr. Hommell, I would not have known how to go about proving my innocence. Although the travel to my location was not local, Mr. Hommell was at my hearings early and sat with me prior to answer any and all questions, while also educating me on the process that was about to occur. All around he assured me I made the right decision in my choice of attorney.

      Professional and personable

      Aaron's services were invaluable in my dealings with the courts after a first offense DUI charge. He is friendly and helpful and demonstrates an extensive knowledge of and passion for DUI law. I was often surprised at how quickly I received responses to my inquiries and at the degree of personal attention shown. Highly recommended.

      I took a chance on this young lawyer, and I have no regrets. I retained Aaron's services shortly after he was accepted by the bar. He has a great ability to bring complex matter into layman terms, and provides good examples. He responds accordingly and always provided insight into the matter after listening to a voicemail, there is something to be said about listening to a voicemail these days.

      great

      Was contacted by a client currently living in NC who had drunk driving woes in Mississippi. Another lawyer in MS suggested I call Aaron for a referral- so I did and am glad. Mr Hommell was helpful and freely gave his time even though my client’s matter was to be heard hours away from his office..He gave me a lead on who to refer my client to and I appreciate him, his knowledge and his assistance..

      Aaron Hommell is one of those attorneys that truly enjoys getting into the finer details of his clients' cases and developing the best defense possible. And the fact that he enjoys what he does makes him that much more motivated to fight for his clients. Having worked for the State and as a defense attorney, he understands both sides of the case and is very knowledgable when it comes to DUIs and criminal defense. I would highly recommend Aaron Hommell to anyone in need of an attorney.

Above those, however, I am most impressed with his dedication to the law and his production-oriented mindset in pursuing results for real people who find themselves embroiled in the ever complicated legal system. Aaron has proven himself to be not only an excellent lawyer, but an excellent person as well. Lance O. Mixon
