The Little Law Firm PLLC

I have had the pleasure of practicing with Jarrett for years. He is one of the best criminal defense and bankruptcy lawyers in the state of Mississippi. He is a consummate professional and deeply knowledgeable of the law and local customs. I could not recommend Jarrett enough.

Highly recommend attorney, Jarrett Little did an outstanding job with representing me. When my case first started I was looking at serving a mandatory 10 years prison time but worked it out for me to where I ended up with 5 years probation!

Jarrett Little was referred to us in February 2025. He handled our case and the outcome was successful. He was very easy to work with and always stayed in contact with us. We would and do recommend his Law Firm to anyone. Jarrett is very professional, call him if you need a great attorney.

Jarrett is wonderful! He's quick, efficient, super responsive, and explains everything in a way that's easy to understand. I'd recommend him to anyone!

***********Divorce Lawyer Advisory************** Before hiring this firm. Make sure you receive their policy explaining in writing, the nature of the engagement and the terms of their legal representation. 1. Failure to Submit Evidence: * In any legal case, submitting evidence is crucial to proving the claims being made. In cases involving cruelty or inhumane treatment (often labeled as cruel and inhuman treatment), there is typically a need for strong evidence such as medical records, witness testimony, photographs, or other documentation that supports the claims of abuse or mistreatment. * If an attorney fails to submit this evidence, it could significantly weaken the case. The court may find that there is insufficient proof of the allegations, potentially dismissing the claim for cruelty or inhuman treatment. 2. Possible Consequences: * Dismissal of Claims: The court might rule that the evidence submitted is insufficient or that no evidence was presented to support the claim of cruelty. This could lead to a dismissal or a ruling that the claim of cruel treatment has not been substantiated. * Damage to Credibility: The failure of the attorney to properly submit or present evidence could also damage the credibility of the case, which could affect the overall divorce proceedings. * Impact on Settlement or Judgment: If the case involves disputes over child custody, alimony, or division of property, the absence of evidence related to cruelty or inhuman treatment could affect the court's decisions in those areas. 3. Possible Actions to Take: * Consult the Attorney: If you believe your attorney has failed to submit critical evidence, you should immediately consult with them to clarify why this happened. There could be a reason for the oversight, such as a procedural issue, or perhaps they missed a deadline. * Request an Extension or Correction: If the evidence was not submitted due to an error or oversight, your attorney might be able to request an extension or file a motion to correct the mistake. * Consider Hiring a New Attorney: If the failure to submit evidence is part of a larger pattern of poor representation, you might consider consulting a new attorney to assess your case and ensure that all the necessary evidence is presented to the court. * Appeal or Motion for New Trial: If the case has already been decided and the failure to submit evidence significantly impacted the outcome, there may be grounds for an appeal or a motion for a new trial based on this failure. 4. Next Steps for the Affected Party: * Strengthen Your Evidence: If the failure to submit evidence was discovered before the trial is concluded, work with your attorney to gather and present any missing evidence. For example, new witnesses, medical records, or expert testimony could still make a difference. * File a Complaint Against the Attorney (If Necessary): If the failure to submit evidence is due to negligence or misconduct, you may want to file a complaint with the state bar or seek alternative legal remedies. Conclusion: In a case involving cruelty or inhuman treatment, failure to submit supporting evidence can jeopardize the entire case. If your attorney has failed to provide necessary evidence, it's important to act quickly to address the issue, whether by consulting the attorney, obtaining new counsel, or seeking corrective actions through the court system.
