Rita Nahlik Silin

I am a divorced mom of a wonderful daughter living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  I enjoy pets, reading, listening to public radio and TED Talks, watching streaming tv shows, movies, and documentaries.  I love to spend time with my daughter and adjust my work schedule to care for her when possible. I like to meet new people and have fun, enlightening, and entertaining conversations with those around me.    I love living on the Mississippi Coast - I live in a paradise many wish they are able to visit.  I do not judge or discriminate about anyone for anything - race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual identity, age, nationality, or any other factor, personally or professionally.  I have friends from many kinds of backgrounds and cherish each of them. 

I grew up in the Saucier and Wiggins, Mississippi areas and have family in Stone County, Mississippi.  I attended college in Starkville at Mississippi State University and earned double B.S. degrees in biochemistry and microbiology.  I attended graduate school at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson pursuing a master's degree in medical microbiology.  While pursuing my graduate studies, I worked part-time assisting attorneys.  I enjoyed the work so much that I decided to attend Mississippi College School of Law in Jackson, Mississippi.

I enjoy being a family lawyer and helping my clients through what are often some of the most difficult times of their lives.  I strive to be fair, kind, attentive, compassionate and provide knowledgeable, specialized, personal service to my clients. I look forward to helping you with your legal matter.
