Malissa Wilson Honored by Mississippi Business Journal as a Leader in Law
Forman Watkins & Krutz LLP is proud to announce that Malissa Wilson was selected as one of 2017’s Top Ten Leaders in Law by the Mississippi Business Journal.

Malissa's diverse background and vast array of knowledge make her a key asset to the creative, efficient work ethic of FormanWatkins.

With her experience in crisis communications, she offers a calm and honest confidence that clients will find indispensable in the midst of tough litigation. A firm believer in the golden rule, Malissa handles every case how she would want an attorney to handle a case for her, always going the extra mile and never backing down from a challenge.

Ultimately, clients can expect a thorough job well done when working with Malissa, and will not find a kinder advocate.
