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 Generals 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 Generals 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.

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 the leading DUI/DWI lawyers in Mississippi. I often reach out to him for insight on my own DUI cases. He is also very good at appeals and criminal defense, in general. If you are a Mississippian charged with any crime, especially one involving DUI/DWI issues, you would be wise to contact him immediately.

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 known Aaron Hommell for well over a year, and working together with him on a number of challenging cases, I endorse Aaron's legal knowledge, skill, and work ethic without any reservation. 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
